I really don't have anything I'm "hiding" as such, but most of
my projects remain unpublished simply because I feel they aren't
mature enough to be published. I've leaked some information
about many of my projects but Sasxsek is the only one I've
actually published completely. That may be why I'm reluctant to
publish others. S:S: has changed considerably since it's inital
publication five years ago.

I tried a collaborative project online called Demos. I went
strong for about a months then fizzled out suddenly. I prefer
individual works anyway. They tend to have a vision while group
efforts tend to be a mix of kludges.
