Hey, thanks for oil and electricity! ;-)

Now, just as a comment: these things, making kde look like 95 or a 
rainforest, or a NiN concert or whatever are just sideshows (I don't know 
if it's the right word).

I mean, those who can't really code can do it, and those who can code can 
do it to relax a bit.

I mean, networking code gets kinda boring after a couple of years :-)
