Re: ANNOUNCEMENT- Small Precludes (A Small OpenGL demo program)

Hey Jason,

Truly amazing. You've definitely got the right stuff.
With talent like this, I don't think you'll have any problems in finding
work in the very near future.

Scene 3 was the one that did it for me, nice work.

I recommend anyone to check this out.


Regards,
Rick

PS-> When will the xmms visualisation be released ? ;)
