Hello there, for speedy access to the MURKU HUD visit
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Sitara/29/146/28/
This place is now publicly accessible and you can buy MURKU HUD for 0L.
I also suggest you find the 'Murku User Group' on Deep Semaphore's profile and join this Second Life group. This will allow me to inform you of the new versions of MURKU as I continue to refine it.

I have been using this HUD for some time now, and I can say that it's definitely become quite an addictive hobby. :) To have a contest going makes it all that more interesting. :)

"There will be 2 winners. (es: One for category) and they will get a prize of 10.000 L$"

Interesting that there were actually four winning entries.

I almost didn't post this, as I figured it would be seen as being a sore loser.
This is not the case.
I am merely pointing out the results against the original rules.
