It's that time again friends. skaar has been at it again and has greatly improved the stability of the new system. And Ara Howard has helped a ton by working with us on the slave library to iron out the wrinkles./ The results is a lot nicer backgroundrb for everyone.   I have to say another huge thanks to skaar. He has singlehandedly wrote almost all of this new version and many bug fixes. I am very glad to have the help as I have too many projects to work on currently. Thanks skaar!

Wondering, anybody on here using this? I know somebody locally who is, he's having good results with it, but his app runs on an internal network for a smallish number of users, and I have a client who may need it set up for a much larger number of users. > **ยทยทยท** > > -- > Giles Bowkett > [http://www.gilesgoatboy.org](http://www.gilesgoatboy.org) > > > **[Giles Bowkett](http://gilesbowkett.blogspot.com)** > > > > half-disavowed old blog. new blog at gilesbowkett.com > > On 11/28/06, Ezra Zygmuntowicz \ wrote: > > >         It's that time again friends. skaar has been at it again and has > > greatly improved the stability of the new system.
