Hello again. I'm back for one main reason; to remind you to not forget my Syllytrain competition from last week .

We enjoyed a few Gluhwein, before Claire and I made our way home. I feel that I won't enjoy the return of single vision, in time for Xmas day, so I'll push my estimate for the resolution to my birthday. So, April 25th is my new estimated target for the return of my single vision. It has seen some great improvements recently. The problem is that like everyone else, the merging of the left eye picture with right eye picture is not yet instant. My merge job is slow enough to notice, whereas your's appears instant.
