Point well taken :)

Just to clarify, my understanding is that when you want to update the UI from code that is not on the main thread, you will need to use performSelectorOnMainThread. Therefore I created the updateStatus: method to ensure the status field is always updated on the main thread, no matter from which thread it is being called.

But in my naivety, I probably overlooked something very basic.

I will do certainly that.
