A Perfect Sudoku Puzzle

*** TODAY'S SUDOKU ***
Simon is still on his laptop today - we hope the sound quality is ok. Today's sudoku is one we'll remember for a long time. It's called LITS Killer and it's by AFrayedKnot. It's just a beautiful hybrid of the logic puzzle LITS and Killer Sudoku. Do give it a try at the link below:

Rules:
Fill every row, column and bold-outlined region with the digits 1-9 once each. Cells separated by an X must contain digits summing to 10. Shade one tetromino in each region such that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Tetrominoes of the same shape may not share a border (counting rotations and reflections as the same). No 2x2 area may be entirely shaded. Additionally, each tetromino must contain digits summing to less than 13.
