Ah... I love autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. The cool, crisp air... the way the sunlight makes the sky such a brilliant blue... the smokey smell of burning nodes on a dry October evening. Here's my Rocktoberfest contribution.

Update: With the blessing of the boss, this will be my last detailed Editor Log. Doing these things is a time-consuming pain in the arse, to speak frankly Mr. Shankley. If anybody has a problem or a question about one of my kills, ask me directly or check with the boss.

Note: For explanation of the formatting I use here, head over to last month's log.
