If you recall the Stand Back! shirt I was wearing last year at 
DConf 2013, it was designed by myself, and made by CafePress.  
I need to find a way to make it more visible (took me about 30 
minutes to find it in my own dashboard!)  But here is the linky 
for it.

Whilst I'm confident that reprints should come out just fine, I 
sometimes find that CafePress can be hit or miss in terms of 
getting the final product printed correctly as you see it in 
preview.


I'm also thinking about designing another D-Shirt for this 
year.  :o)

Here's a link for those in the US:

I think I might buy one of these!

Ok, i'll take a look at these.

Also, regarding DUB directory copying for the tcl init scripts, 
the docs mention a "postBuildCommands" which I would think 
could be used for that purpose (or for pretty much anything 
else).


Yeah that's the plan but i need a nice method of referring to the 
output directory when used as a dependency. I've been through 
this with Sönke and he reckons the next version of dub will be 
able to do this.

Re: My D book is now officially coming soon

We're publishing in about two weeks now so it won't be long until 
the real thing is out anyway!

Congrats. Is there a early access option, like Manning Early

I don't have the time to use this right now, but I will need a
working _portable_ GUI framework in a near-future project, so I
just want to say that this is awesome.

BTW, this is probably not a good idea in near future but it I
think it would be good to have a builtin Tkinter equivalent for
D. Even if it's not completely phobos-like (Tkinter is not
entirely pythonic either), having a basic GUI framework ready to
go without any extra setup is a huge advantage.
