Hey! I didn't know that the Upload Behaviour had become a hole new project (Mi Base as I can see?). I didn't have time to check it yet but as I read it seems promising, I've also noticed that it includes Mi Bake another great script of yours that I usually use, I learned a lot from it and think that it's a great piece of code for newbies to understand how cake works.
I'll give you guys feedback about my development. Thanks! Ad: About meeting you online, you mean by IRC?
