Site Update

Moving and Updates

I'm moving (not the site), so updates will be a little more intermittent for a couple of weeks, as much of my time is taken up with packing, and general moving stuff (cancelling utilities and opening new accounts, etc.) in addition to the usualy amount of work and real life biz. Moving sucks, but it'll be nice to have a place of my own to call home finally.

After I'm all settled in, I'll get the reviews section up and running and start accepting submissions (full CDs, demos, etc) for review. And get this stupid "beta" label on the site removed...
