Everything you and others have sent to me privately are waiting for
examination in my "tuxpaint-pending" mailbox.  I've also got dozens of
messages stored in my Tux Paint 'inbox', many of which I'd like to go back
to and address...

Well, first off, after the big release last month, I've honestly been a
little burnt out with Tux Paint code development.

More importantly, though, I've been quite busy at work (the app we submitted
for testing got rejected, so I've spent the last week tracking down and fixing
the bugs they found... plus implementing some other slight changes my boss
decided we needed).

I've also been asked to write a ~5000 word magazine article about
Tux Paint, and the deadline is coming up in a few days!  (I'm less than
halfway done!)

And to top it all off, my wife and I have both been sick!!! :^( :^(

Sorry! :^(

I think posting patches here isn't beyond reason, and the other folks who are
intimately familiar with Tux Paint's code (like Karl Ove Hufthammer and
Mark K. Kim) have been known to commit other people's patches into CVS for me.
;^)


I think after the Thanksgiving holiday has come and gone, I'll be more
available to poke at stuff.

(Our current plans are to drive ~15-20 hours up to Washington state next
week, and then back.  But if we're sick, we might need to cancel that trip)


*bleh*

Anyway, sorry again!
