FRIENDS HAVING FUN
Agata Foti of Agata & Me is currently involved in some quite interesting software development. It's called Bandloot. In short it is a way for bands to keep track of money made and money used. And a way of "spreading the wealth" among the band members without a lot of fuss. They call it a "money tracker". It looks quite handy. Because which bands want to spend too much time on money matters? Yes, not that many. :-) The software is free and you can read more about it and download it at http://www.bandloot.com .
 

That's all this time, folks!
