Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad people are enjoying CheckValve! I have been (very) slowly working on a new version. Some of the new features I'm trying to implement are:
* Chat logging * Background service to check servers on a regular interval * Status bar alerts if a server is down * Possibly a widget My free time is pretty much gone these days, so things are moving pretty slowly. I promise I'm still working on it, though. :-) If anyone has any questions, comments, or suggestions about CheckValve, you can always e-mail them to checkvalve...@gmail.com. Thanks!
