Have fun and stay healthy, Markus.

P.S. If you like the project and you have an idea how to improve it, I would like to hear from you. Help doesn't have to be technical. Translation into your native language would be of great help or a hint of software bugs. You can either contact me via email to my SourceForge account or create a ticket in the "Support" area.
