Wybo,

It's great to know you committed those changes and that the back-end
is getting straight, can't wait to see it through the front-end! ;)

About the layout, I know I have to get to it, but it has just been
impossible, really, and I know I didn't got the time I thought I would
this month.

I'll integrate the new layout to the SVN files In during the weekend.

Greetings!
