So, you're behind a firewall but still want to kill time chatting with the hausmates or arguing with Fate...

Use the bridge.

The haus party over the July 4th weekend in Asheville was a raging success. Trygve, Peter Royal and Brian Topping (left-to-right) are pictured above, playing with fire. Click to enlarge, of course. Not pictured are Bob, Jason van Zyl and James Taylor, plus a few hauswives. More images are available by the grace of Peter Royal.

Work on Plexus, m2, Dentaku and Werkflow happened, along with random geek conversations. A grill was assembled and meat was charred. Many things exploded (intentionally).

AspectWerkz 1.0-beta1 has been released.
