lol,

       i was to slow to reply as per usual.  i'm super glad that its 
been fixed dblly so since it'll save me from having to add a gd layer to 
my script just to check for image validity, w00t.  i'll be sure to 
update my svn revision and re-compile.  and yeah i'll def still post my 
script for my original need.  and though i'm def a php fan girl(i've 
even been playing with php 6 and its way nice.  but yeah if i were gonna 
contribute to gPodder i'd def try python, though being far more of a 
designer &artist/coder &haker than an engineer i'll never be a huge fan 
of python, i'd rather design in C/C++ if i need a migrian(*wink* jokie), 
than python.  but i just find php more fun &i guess that why i use it 
the most, i enjoy writing it more, web or not.  but language zelousy 
aside *wink*, of course once i'm able to contribute 'to' gPodder i'd 
write anything in python(which i do know, just not like, *ick*).  if i 
can't manage to write stuff in python 'to' gPodder than yeah i'd still 
write 'for' gPodder but than i'd expect it not to be part of gPodder's 
trunk.  but thnx again for your work on an awesome podcatcher &a 
wonderful community that doesn't try and kill communication for the sake 
of efficiency i really appreciate it.  i'm sorry i was so slow in 
replying though, but i do hope to contribute in the future.  &i'll post 
my php script straight away, after i clean up my pseudo fix since i 
don't need to keep it in there.  &thnx again.
