  Almar's dedication to the (what turned out to be far more complicated) task was commendable.

He never tired of new problems placed in his path and provided excellent progress feedback through what - through no fault of his own - turned out to be a protracted project.

I've already got another couple of projects in mind, and I'll certainly be inviting Almar to bid for them.

Almar is an excellent roll model for how Rentacoder can work. Thanks!
