Several, many, a throng of doubleplusgood things rolling down the line:

- Serialization on the DaevlPlugs installer is working well. Since I see him at least twice a week, Chris Martinez of Effect69 fame will be first on the shock line for installation tests and spotting new bugs in the semi-wild for the current PowerPC builds. Now that Cycling '74 is nearing official release on the Universal version of Max/MSP/Jitter, Pluggo can't be far behind. This means I may be able to release both Windows and MacIntel versions of the DaevlPlugs simultaneously in the not-too-distant future. A couple of the DaevlPlugs are a bit on the cpu hoggish side, so I'm looking forward to running them on my screamin' dual-core.

- Speaking of Effect69... while Chris is working on their new site, check out the Effect69 MySpace page. Some tasty techno and house tracks there, along with Chris' remix of Yes' Roundabout with extensive sonic processing contributed by yours truly.

- I've been convinced of MySpace's utility value by watching Chris get up and running next to every other musician under the moon. I'll be using MySpace for many of the new tracks, post-DaevlPlugs release party.

- I'm digging Birdy Nam Nam, a turntable foursome from France.

- Did I mention new tracks? Yes, there are some, and they have both Monome and DaevlPlug action all over them.
