Today turned out to be much better than yesterday. I Got up early and met with Katy. We fixed the major bugs in her code. I need to clean up some memory errors and we will be in good shape again.

I went out to the legendary Purdue Salvage yard today. Apparently they are closing at the end of this semester. I will be sad to see them go. It was a great place to find old junk computer equipment for students to experiment with. I wish there was some economic model that would allow universities to keep these places so that poor starving students could grow up to be hackers.
