RE: [Emerson-general] (no subject)

[<af...@en...>]

Ah! Sorry I haven't replied. Those bastards at NEC (actually, they're not 
bastards, it was my fault) cut off my internet and it won't be back up for 
another couple of days.

Actually, my internet is awesome - it's FTTH (fiber to the home) and blindingly 
fast; the problem is that I misread a letter they sent me and I forgot to tell 
them how I was intending to pay. ;) So right now I just have my connection at 
work at least for the next day or two.

The idea about the "scope table" is great, and it'd be very easy to implement.

By the way, what do we do about the code that's currently in the CVS 
repository? A lot of it's old and dependent on our scary Python work. How much 
is usable, and how much isn't? I think before we start any serious work, we 
should clean out the repository.

-Alex.
