Thanks,
Good job also with  nbcloud.

This remind me of someone who once wrote :
"As any self-respecting graduate student with a dissertation deadline looming would do, I threw myself full-time into building the first 'real' IPython by merging my code with both of theirs (eventually I did graduate, by the way)."
and that I should also work on my PhD.
