When I worked at C4 Communications (a design agency in Surry Hills, Sydney) as their senior Fl(ash|ex) developer, I built the company website, based on designs by excellent in-house designers John Welander and Luke Clifton.

I just bought a license for the excellent Scrivener. What a well behaved and intuitive piece of software it is. I always hated word processors and I wasn’t sure why.
