Aha, so that's what happened to Code Bubbles. I saw this video about the project years ago, and always wondered. https://youtube.com/watch?v=PsPX0nElJ0k

I think Andrew Bragdon moved on from it and Steven Reiss (one of his coadvisors when Andrew initially created it) has appropriated it to some extent. Seems mostly dead though.

interesting to see the VSU 2010 reference, that was when all the great software architecture features released with Visual Studio, very powerful stuff.
