Body: Attempting to install the new Double-Chocco-Latte (DCL), a time tracking program. It wasn't well documented, so she didn't get very far. Took a look at installing Request-Tracker, but it requires some things she didn't have installed, again didn't get very far. Ordered some tea.

Body: Figured out how to make a patch and submitted a bug report to the guy who takes care of the anagram program. Installed Xine, and figured out that he needs to upgrade the kernel from 2.4.10, because of the VM stuff causing problems with smooth playing.

Body: Working on the Python 2.2 RPM. Updating to 2.2.1c1. Starting a discussion with the Python community about some possible changes to the RPM. Working on Linux-HA code to add a "unicast" heartbeat method. Guido told me to get them to set me up with a webmaster account so I could update the site on my own. I promise I won't let the power go to my head. Much... Worked on adding a "ucast" plugin to the linux-ha code. This is to supplement the "bcast" and "mcast" methods already in there, so that the traffic only goes between two boxes, as opposed to getting sent to all the machines on the same broadcast domain.

Body: Trying to get Linux loaded on his laptop. NT was on it, but it was too "doggy". Tried to get 98, but it wasn't happy. Problems mostly with Mandrake dual-boot.
