Well, its official: I have customers. I am getting a steady stream of traffic to the website, and I have even begun to engage with customers taking part in the beta. I have also started to receive feedback, but before I can really begin in earnest to implement the feature requests I am receiving, I must first turn my attention to Test Run's infrastructure. Up until this point I have been enhancing Test Run in a live production environment, but that in no longer advisable considering that I risk disrupting users on the system.

So please bear with me. I will be done soon, and will then turn my attention towards some much needed enhancements and make an installable version of Test Run available for download soon.
