Ah- my apologies for this- I was playing around with NetworkManager- it
should (hopefully) be pretty stable now.

Well, I've never used WML before (although I've been looking at the docs
/examples now), so my changes were probably more focused on just getting
the job done. I'll definitely look into making a more consistent/sane
format (hopefully without any HTML in it, unlike what I've done to it
now).

Ah, this was just laziness on my part (I wasn't expecting to make that
many changes)- I'll write a Perl script to extract the data tomorrow to
make changes simpler.
I'll probably send an update on this tomorrow- thanks,
Ricky
