Hi,

Welcome to another very semi-irregular update from the Eudyptula Challenge.

Yes, we are alive!

Some of you got stuck in queue 08 for more than a year, very sorry about
that, the script has now been fixed, and since it was hard to determine
who was and was not stuck there, everyone who was at task 08 got moved
to task 09.  Consider it an early holiday present.

All other queues are now flushed out, so if you sent a task answer in,
and have not received a response, it got lost somewhere. Please resend
it and it should be handled within a week.  Or so.  Hopefully.
Depending on the task.

Oh, one hint, that some of you have noticed, the smaller the email that
you respond with, the quicker it is reviewed.  Don't send full dmesg
logs since the last week when you booted the machine, don't send full
kernel .config files, and never send a full bzImage in, expecting it to
do something (you know who you are...)  All tasks should be no more than
a few hundred lines long, if you find yourself sending in more than
that, reconsider it please.

Here's the stats for the queues right now.  Yes, there's no way that -1
people are doing task 08 right now, remember, we are a set of horrid
shell scripts.  Have you ever tried doing math in bash?
