Hi Ciaran,
Yep, that's just the kind of thing I had in mind. I just haven't got around
to it yet. I just returned from a short honeymoon in Amsterdam (I got
married 6 days ago at the Norwegian embassy in Holland.!!), and tomorrow
morning I have to get up at 4am and set off at 4:30 am, travelling to
Helsinki Finland, where I will hold a seminar/speech on DirectMusic, as part
of the Assembly convention up there. I'll be gone for 4 days.
I'll get cracking on an early draft for a web site in the next couple of
weeks or so.
Cheers,
- Bjorn
