Indeed it's been progressing nicely:

A few kinks remain, though, and will take longer to iron out.
Wow looks a lot better then I had hoped for! Anyway I had an idea now when the program can connect to the bitcoin-qt client wouldn't it be cool to have it write out network alert messages with bright red text or something?
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Alerts Maybe even add some alert piping sound.
(getinfo will show the alert info in the error field when a alert is active)
Sounds like a good idea - I'll look into implementing this and put it on my to-do list!
