Thanks Terry! :)
Let me know if you guys need any cool/cutting edge Rails apps over there. I've always wanted to get more involved with Make/Craft. Maybe now I can, even if in some small way.
Poo emailing list - too darn funny. Hope life at O'Reilly is treating you well. Retirement is proving to be quite busy and lots of fun.
