So tired

Got to work at 10:00. Got home from work at 11:30. Had an extended talk with Shamoun and Tom.

Made more progress on the automation. Reworked activate/deactivate routines to properly forward multi-step commands to the agent. Pretty much ready for the create cluster test tomorrow.

Debating the merits of putting Novell Desktop linux on my main VMWare workstation. The fact is that aside from xterm, the two key application I use they system for are Evolution and OpenOffice. Well, Novell (Ximian) is the author of Evolution, and Novell is the largest contibutor to OpenOffice outside of Sun, so my hope is that their implementations of these applications are a bit more recent in terms of bug fixes than what I might find in Fedora or the other distros that are using upstream sources. Will have to try out and see.

Got an email from egb today (first in a while). Apparently the Bell Labs site in Holmdel is closing. Guess it's an end of an era.

For those not familiar, Here is a link with a bit of background.
