Don't bame yourself. You did a good job and of course we could have stop earth 
to turn on itself
but got no time for that :)

Now the cool news is that there is the cool CompiledMethodTrailer in pharo1.1
and the changes of david lewis that are waiting for you :)....

Rest from your Ikea unfolding and building furnitures :)
I should rest from projects writing but I have one to write.... and I want it.
