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!
