Greg - These tools sound great, unfortunately I have not been able to access them. The pages won't load.

Sorry if it doesn't work for you. It seems to work ok from here ( I'm in Hanoi) and all other locations I can test from. Hopefully it is only a temporary access problem from your location, but if you can't get it going, please let me know so I can try and figure out why.
