Ah, Mark, perhaps this is a good opportunity to introduce yourself to the list (as suggested by KB on IRC).
Well, I'll do just that -- Mark Rappoport, 24 y/o, Linux user since age 13. Dabbled in pretty much everything, barring kernel drivers and taming wild llamas.
Mark, IRC nick "doot", a python guru, fast problem resolver <- is this
you ? :-D
I'm hardly a guru :)
