    This engine looks like a great little project. Sunday's meetup was a treat; weather was perfect. Lots of interesting projects to examine. Caught up with some old friends and made some new acquaintances. Looking forward to the monthly meetings. Chris

    latest work

    I took a look at Yuriy's DRO site; an interesting possibility. My immediate concerns are that there have been no updates to the Blog since June of last year, and there's not much activity on the Forum.
