The project is under way and I'm happy to say it is on schedule so far. I've started checking out the XUL documentation, particularly useful is Roachfiend's website along with a fabulous walk through the steps you need to take to get to a working extension.

I'm on my way to MozPM glory and finally finishing that Masters degree! Woot!

I've also updated some of the pages on my website to the new design, still some holes but it is coming along.
