Viglo

In January I will be moving to South America, where English ain’t gonna help me communicate with most people. Looks like I better remedy that situation and get learning to speak Spanish!

I wanted to showcase Viglo at the MaFLA conference of 2015. The president of the event, Ms. Catherine Ritz, told me it was too late to do so because the Exhibition Hall was already arranged with the other booths in mind. Fair enough. So I responded by acknowledging that fact, but offered to pay full […]

This is a long overdue post, but I would be remiss to not share Viglo’s first real public appearance (I say REAL because I crashed a Rhode Island conference as it was finishing up, about a month prior, but there was no interest from the attendees in seeing Viglo, as everyone just wanted to go […]

Viglo made it’s appearance at the Boston Unity Group meetup two nights ago. What a positive reception it received, and just as important, some new flaws were pointed out, which we will squash out! Discussions with the group included ways to include languages without Roman characters, such as Japanese and Chinese, and also adding Virtual […]

Viglo will be joining the Boston Unity Group (B.U.G.) to show off our program on Thursday, December 10 at 7:00. Any other nearby Unity fans ought to reach out to the B.U.G. and seek to attend. They have been very quick to reply to my questions and appear to be an exciting, friendly group. This […]
