I've got the patches to the HTML file that you sent me.  My stack at
the moment looks something like

     Girlfriend
     TYFreeBSDi21Days
     /. article & editorship
     Daemonnews article
     Daily e-mail grind
     *@crf-consulting.co.uk replies
     *@freebsd.org replies
     *@nothing-going-on* replies

And the stack pointer ranges freely over the first 6 items normally.  I've
just realised I've got to write my presentation for FreeBSD Con this week
as well. . .

I finally decided there was no way I was going to get around to finishing
the updates I've got sat in the queue at this point, so I'm handing it over
to the community at large to keep up to date as they see fit.  If you (or
anyone else) wants to commit to fielding the change requests it generates
then let me know, as I'll forward you the 40 or so comments that are sat on
my "Must look at these when I get a spare day" pile.  I can forward on the
(eek, almost a year old) diff you sent me as well.

And if you show any signs at all that you might be quite good at this then
expect commit privs to be foisted upon you fairly quickly[1].

Is now in my queue of things to commit when I'm at a box I can ssh to 
freefall on.

[1] If memory serves, the reason I originally got commit privs was to
    maintain that document, so it's kind of come full circle.
