Henrik,

Best wishes for your operation and the period of recovery. Above all do what the doctors say! That's why they get the big bucks!

I can't even imagine 2 to 4 weeks without reading, computers, or driving. Have you thought about just sitting on a nice beach somewhere?

.....Bruce

To start with the eye-problems I've had, I am scheduled for surgery on Wednesday (Aug. 27). It's a relatively simple operation - I'll be out of the hospital the same day - but I cannot use my eyes normally for a few weeks after the operation. Meaning that I am not allowed to read, work with a computer, or drive a car for 2-4 weeks.

So I'll be completely off-line during that period. Sorry, but that's the way it is.

Now to the grand renaming debate. The last time I mentioned that I had another candidate, but I was waiting to see if the domain names were going to expire. Alas, they did not. The name I had in mind was "Sysdar", being short for "Systems Radar" - but phonetically also rather neat, since it brings in memories of "Big Sister" and hence "Big Brother". It didn't quite work out. That doesn't mean I'll scratch that idea completely - it's still a good name, and there are no trademark registrations or anything else indicating that the name is used at all, so we could just work it out with a different domain name (e.g. sysdar.eu or sysdar.dk).

My favourite right now is G-lance. I've noted that HP has the "GlancePlus" software, but I hope that won't be a problem due to the explicit dash and therefore the very different pronounciation.

"hobbitmon" and "hobbeat" are outsiders. I'd have to get an OK for those from the Tolkien lawyers, and I am a bit sceptical about them accepting either. Also, I think they are OK names for people who know what Hobbit is about - but they have no meaning what so ever to new users (or PHB's).

Nothing's going to change (obviously) for the next few weeks, so feel free to voice opinions and/or come up with good ideas until then.

Regards, Henrik
