In the spirit of "tidying things up," and pushing out nearly-there projects, I turned my attention to http://www.codeplex.com/PSMobile. I have my fingers in way too many pies I think and I'm just not finding enough time to get things finished off - but enough is enough. I am trying to clear my plate, and this is fruit number #2 of that attempt at self-correction. I have some other important out of band work that I need to complete, but I find I cannot concentrate on that until these personal projects that have been niggling me for ages are dealt with. Anyway, lets dispel a couple of questions with a screenshot:
