SMUG wrap up

I sat down to post my follow up but quickly got sucked into everyone elses blogs. There is too much, let’s sum up. Chris covers a lot of it. Other things I did last night… The ReadyReply rewrite was to the UI stage last night and I didn’t particularly feel like spending the evening in [...]
