@yukihiro_matz ah okay, pull me to your house and i will work on potion there. i think i need you to show me what to do next.

luke dubois is a frantically sensational hacker. i mean max/msp is astounding. also enjoying the adobe bashing here.

the vvvv show was rad as well. highlight code, hit ctrl+b and you buy yourself some concurrency. like across separate boxes.
