It's all right, I've got it (as you may have seen).

Will do. Probably this weekend, after which I'll be too busy with
Real Work to do much web or conlang stuff - translating a book from
German, in fact. It's very easy, and I'll probably have more trouble
with WordPerfect than with the text of the book, but I think all I'll
want to do in the evenings is curl up with a book and a beer.
