Great stuff! The reliability stuff seems to work *crosses fingers* and the
web interface is looking good.

The end of my vacation will be coinciding more or less with yours, and by
then I will have my Bsc, so then I'll have more time to get going again. :D

Enjoy Canada and see you in three weeks,

Pim
