Can do both - let me know if you get a more georaphically close offer as I 
doubt the mail service will get it to you on time from where I am :)  Also 
had intended to spend time on stk500/avrisp/pavr/uisp stuff over the break.

What's probably happened is pipermail isn't being run as/when it should, 
check the mbox file (download from archives page) as it will likely have 
all messages which means they will all turn up in the html archives as soon 
as the problem is sorted.  Unlikely they are lost.
