A few days ago I signed up to be a beta tester for There.com and they’ve sent me an email saying that my computer meets the requirements. No request [...]
Wafer Thin
Over the weekend I refactored the main storage code for Creosote and started roughing out a GUI using wxPython. No screenshots yet though. I’ll probably have something to show in a week’s time.
