Diary: October 2001
Fluffy v1.1 has now been released. I don't see me doing any more to it. The SIGHUP bug has been fixed (for anyone interested, the perl 'exec' command blocks SIGHUP, you need to use POSIX to unblock it, dead easy really), it's been tidied up a lot, and I've added a couple of things.

Well, sorry it's been a while... quite a bit has happened recently.
Not least my monitor has arrived!
