Hey Daniel, everyone

Since I missed my pilot shift during UDS and I've been busy at the end 
of the quantal cycle I decided to spend most of my day trying to help 
reducing a bit that backlog. I started with a queue at 142 and I'm 
signing off with it at 110 (with probably still some to fall off at the 
next refresh).

Summary of my day
