Our project, RFID Guardian, has unexpectedly be cut out of funding. The 
project is now in the fridge until we find new funding, and that might 
take an arbitrarily long time. I am winding up loose ends in the 
software right now, and I expect I will be assigned as research 
programmer to some other project within the Computer Systems Group of 
the VU Amsterdam. I don't know for sure, but my expectation is that I 
will not be able to do more than bug fixes for my NAND package.

Well, this kind-a breaks any promises I made regarding 
improvements/performance hacks to the package, and although I feel bad 
about that, there is some mitigation in the fact that more than a year 
has passed since in complete silence.
