Commit by leighsmith :: r193 /trunk/Calliope/Application/ (35 files in 4 dirs): (link) Corrected Metro reading StaffObj clients. Factored MusicKit score and MIDI generation for file I/O. GVPerform will be replaced later. Moved saveEPS & saveTIFF to OpusDocument. Replaced VOICEID macro with -voiceWithDefault: method. Added extra copyWithZone methods to Staff, newFrom in Graphic and subclasses defaults to calling copyWithZone:. Added partName accessors. Font debugging turned back on while I try to nail this down. Inverts Verse fonts if negative when encoded.
My Letter to W.A. Newspapers: Expat climate disbelief
As an expat Aussie living in France and watching the climate debate in Canberra, it is with a sense of shame and disbelief to watch the Labour and Liberal parties obscure the real issues of climate change. Prime minister Rudd's concessions to the Liberal party climate deniers is simply enormous corporate welfare of $5.8 billion to be paid by taxpayers to keep the coal industry polluting. An emissions trading scheme is just permission to pollute by industries who's era is over. Europe has already demonstrated how ineffective an ETS is at reducing carbon, while leading to spiking electricity costs. Australia needs a flat carbon fee that is not able to be manipulated, to properly reflect the cost the country and our children will continue to pay into the future.

Sax Oud Duo
I had the wonderful opportunity to jam with Martha Sparks, an excellent alto saxophonist from Melbourne at my apartment in NYC, early 2001. This is an improvisation between Martha and me on sax and oud (Arabic lute) respectively.
