So far that's been writing software: a little bit of web stuff, and I'm just finishing up an Android project bringing up an appliance and interfacing it to a microcontroller via serial port. The gadget/embedded stuff fits in well with what I was doing with linux audio, and it seems to pay well. I've done enough web stuff to be able to slide right back into that too.

That's not a big loss. You have produced so much music over the past 4

years that your "Ouvre" will provide inspiration for many years to come.
I still think you should package and release the penultimate collection

of Syncopated Jazz Tracks made with Linux Audio Software. I would be

happy to host it for you if you don't have your own webspace...
Looking forward to seeing what software you come up with as time permits :-)
The King is dead! Long live the King!
