Not that I am usually so busy that I don't have time to sit in front of the computer all day... come to think of it I don't remember doing anything else for the last several weeks... but the rain does allow me to justify the complete lack of physical exertion... without it I would never have finished this first version of the bastish netif you are looking at this before I have actually moved it from the development server, this link doesn't work... but you are already here anyway so kick back and relax and enjoy commentary.
