I intend to continue working on this. I doubt I will have much time until 
next month, but hey, time flies anyway!

Chris, Thanks so much for jump starting this project. The work you have done 
on the interfaces is very valuable (to me). I really appreciate the effort. 
Hey, maybe we'll come up with something so compelling, you'll come groveling

From the looks it seemed like very cool technology. I guess I'm just a Python 
bigot, tho. But hey, you can't argue with something that works!

If I get hot and heavy into this project, I'm sure I will do a bit of code 
skimming from them. Use the source, Luke!

I'm sure I'll "see" you around...
