I feel much better than I did yesterday. Perhaps it is because the weekend is coming up. I know that I will need to work through the weekend, but at least it means that I can get a fair amount of sleep each night.

Today I did all of the usual Thursday things. I think my lack of preparation showed in 490-dsp. Teaching is not something that you can do "off the cuff" unless you are a true expert on the subject. I made progress on my packet sniffer. The weekend MUST be devoted to the packet sniffer. It is due in a little more than a week.

Chris just sent me an invite (literally seconds ago) to the new orkut thing. I am honored that he invited me. I should probably jump on the bandwagon early, but I rarely use the social networks I have in real life let alone virtual ones. Long long ago in the before times I was into the sixdegrees thing when that meme was spreading like wildfire. I still get spam as a result. On the other hand I suspect that this will be the most usable "friend of a friend" site because it is backed by google. Warren echos some of my thoughts on the subject, er... maybe I echo him.
