Well, it's over! The Mixview contest is officially done. It was my first time running a contest - I've mentioned before, I actually work on one of the software development teams, so something like this was completely new for me.

Not much has changed in five years, I guess. Or maybe it's been even longer...I remember the album "Rumours" by Fleetwood Mac from when I was a kid (1977). Now that's a solid album. My parents played it all the time. Oooh, another good song from my childhood! 1987's "I Heard...
