Now are you going to make the dating code available under the GNU public
license so that I can generate a routine for determining (in cases where
a house has two or more active IP's) a traffic based log based on the
total active time of each computer in the 48 hours before the meeting.

He will, he will. I blame the Institute of Modern Art for providing too
much beer at its grand opening.
I'm very sorry I missed the meeting. Not only would I have loved to see
all those wonderful toys, a friend and I had built a small but rather

I shall be there. And I will not leave the house the previous day (nor
shall I consume beer, peanuts, art, or anything else that may result in
my head pounding more than any head has pounded before).
Sorry again to have missed the meet and I'm glad everyone has much fun.
Tim
