Body: Replaced her keyboard again. Submitted a documentation patch for xplanner,
which explains how to get it running under Tomcat 3.3.1. Continued her
project of running pychecker against Python standard libraries. Submitted
a patch for zipfile and started writing unit-tests for it. Read an interesting
article on using neural networks to transmit secret keys publicly.

Body: Screwing with Zope and giving up... Next week I'm going to start implementing
the Hacking Society pages as python CGIs. I could have already done that 4
times over for the effort I've spent on trying to learn Zope, and I still can't
do basic stuff. We had a big vim discussion about nifty features. Gave efm
a copy of Python 2.2.1. Blew my nose WAY too many times, I hate allergies. Got
SSH on one of my boxes to recognise when I log in so that it will set vi mode.
Using the "environment" setting in the authorized_keys.
