The Uilleann forum was set up in response to ChiffnFipple dropping the forum due to silliness, which was later restored, but still quite over policed. Then why in the world are you here? Don't you dislike being oppressed? Three years ago, this C&F UP forum was closed for 3 days. Thank you. Chil...

I'm glad this came up again. Anything out there that anyone knows about? Or do I have to write my own software? Anyone proficient at porting code to other OS's?

hiya interesting comments, i wouldn't suggest the dime, saliva is a digestive fluid and will eat away at the dime, penny what have you. besides the need for hygiene, there's that fact that dimes and most coin currency is not really made of silver, but composites. a stone's an interesting choice too,...
