[Tllts] Parental control

[Bert Van Kets]

Thanks for the invite. :-D

Let me get the instruction page online first. That way I have something
to refer to and the interested people can get hacking immediately.

I'll let you guys know when the page is online for a review. I should
have some time this weekend to do some screencasts.
