Both my e-mail and Jabber address have changed to tom@almostobsolete.net :)
BTW, I'm still alive and working on Marvin, doing a lot of internal changes which will make other stuff easier to do. Once that's done there will be a release...

It's back up now :)

My patrat@rat-software.com e-mail has been down since a few days ago, hopefully should be back soon...

Feedback would be much appreciated:)
