This year&#8217;s already looking pretty special, with the launch of Watchtower and FINRG&#8217;s 10th Anniversary, which will be the event to end all events &#8211; hard to believe that exactly two months from now I&#8217;ll be arriving in Helsinki.<\/p>\n<p>Massive, properly heartfelt thanks to everyone for supporting me and <em>TYFTH <\/em>itself for the past year &#8211; I had to put things on autopilot a couple of times, but I really appreciate all the input from everyone here, and the contact I&#8217;ve had from Horsers away from the site.
