I have just become aware of some unauthorised access to the software tutorials on KCDA so I have changed the password
to ensure the system works properly it is VITAL that I am able to control access to the bank of tutorials we have so carefully established
please do not share the user PW combination
I will be emailing you all the new pw
let me know if you don’t get this email

great piece – very inspiring indeed and a the stop motion effect is a clever solution to things slipping around in tracking
great stuff and very relevant to you richard

from the panic blog (panic being the company who make our beloved coda)
a great piece of music from Grandaddy and a great text based animation all done on an Apple II (my first experience of any computer was an apple II when I was in the 6th form in grimsby in 1979)
watch in awe as the guys at panic load up the program to the Apple II from an iPad
this is a lovely video that works on so many levels and a lesson in restraint, concept and just vision – I love the framing, the music, the details (pot of pencils) the animation – everything – just great
you can see the original by stewart smith here but make sure you watch the panic version too here
