Worked on a serial "snooper" (sourceforge.net/projects/ssnooper) to help me debug problems I'm having with a serial driver for a photon detector in our lab at Mines. The current version of the ssnooper code is mostly garbage written in a hurry. I'm rewriting and adding the ability to save and replay logged sessions. Also enjoyed the conversations--especially how Cafe Sole got wireless.

Installed linux on a friends new Inspiron 2600, discovering in the process that it uses the i830 for graphics - main memory instead of dedicated VRAM. Ugh. Tried to SWIG Libnet but got bogged down in weirdness with disappearing methods/symbols. May give the Ruby dynamic linker library a try since it's now part of the primary (dev) distribution.

Got macwatch working on my home firewall. It's dumping stats on all my ethernet devices into mrtg now. Cleaned up my email some. Talked about problems with the current linuxdoc setup with Jonathan. Drank coffee.
