I'm relatively new round here too and really should have done an
introduction too.
Live coders are much friendlier than what my OP might indicate. I'm

If any particular LC description resonates with you I'd love to hear
about it! Experience isn't a pre-requisite for knowing what your on
about.
Cheers,
Tris
