I've been very silent for quite a while. The reasons are many, including family problems and financing problems. My wife and I are divorcing (I'm moving to a new place as we speak), and the whole process has sucked quite a lot of my energy. I'll start acting a bit on CTWM starting next week. How much time I can spend depends a lot on how much time I need to spend on "real life" stuff, like making a living. It would help *tremendously* if I had some kind of financial support.
