| Version 1.0 is now on sale, with 10% discount for launch: http://www.lrdisplay.com Thanks to all those who've shown interest and support, from both Ian and myself - it's been a big step to commit to this as a vocation instead of the relative security of officey 9-5 stuff, so the good vibes around it... |

The appropriate way to mourn Tony's passing is to find a good cause, find the people fighting for it and give of your time to support them.
Today isn't a loss to the left, or a loss to labour, it's a loss to the human race and the entire concept of good in the world. What a guy. |

Just agreed for my music to be used in TxK on a second platform.
No official confirmation of which platform that might be, but where something is said can be as important as what is said, sometimes. |
