After being banned from the list for a while now I think that perhaps I can be allowed back on. I am still learning and after doing lots of reading, will keep learning until I known I can finally send out good solid patches. In addition , also finished up to task 6 of the Eudyputla Challenge and learning from it where I went wrong(mostly not checking my work and understanding the proper APIs for programming ease in the kernel.
