As you've probably noticed, things have been a bit slow here the past month or so. I've been up to my ears in work and haven't had any spare time at all to devote to the site.

This should be changing from now on, I'll try to be a bit more responsive and get more news items posted. If you've mailed me about anything and I haven't answered yet, I apologize and I'll be catching up with my mails as well.
