Thanks for mentioning it! :D I held off mentioning it due to its 
immaturity in comparison to Adam's stuff, I'm gradually working on it. 
The latest thing I've added is an ORM to remove about 100 lines of code 
for simple stuff (still a work in progress). As a result I'm probably 
going to be reworking the overall design (It started off being MVC, it's 
not going to be now).
