WARNING. The local youths in the park claiming to be selling Wrestlemania tickets are not legitimate sellers. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM. The tickets direct you to a field in the countryside where a farmer yells at you to get off his property. I am almost certain this is not the real Wrestlemania.

30 Years, 30 Reasons: Why CrossOver is still the best for Mac gaming and much more | CodeWeavers Blog By Meredith Johnson | While others are launching their first beta, CrossOver turns 30. The most proven Windows compatibility tool for Mac and Linux just gave you 30 reasons to buy.

Friendly reminder that "Mac gaming solution" and "Mac gaming beta" are very different things.

CrossOver has had 169 betas, 26 stable releases and now 30 reasons why it's still the best compatibility tool for Mac and Linux.

Wonderful to celebrate the exhibition of Polly's photographs with friends and family at the Leica Gallery in London last night.

The exhibition runs until 7th of May and I can't recommend it highly enough.
