I have spent a little short of 20 hours on active development. This is roughly two fifths and not quite the 48 hours. Then again I haven’t broken my 1am-10am sleep routine and did take a break or two (or more).<\/p>\n

Since my first post<\/a>, I have been partly polishing the existing features, partly struggling to add new ones.
