Linked-In, through another programmer named Brett Foster who had found your site, in answer to your question. I've always been curious. Now curious to see if this reaches you.

Hope it's working by now-24 hrs later. Or at least hope you're warm enough. I hear the temp is going up on the weekend. Then rain, then freezing.
