Set up a DHCP server for the wired LAN here.

Body: Worked on Bicycle Repair Man. This is a refactoring browser for Python.
Got the unit tests successfully running. Figured out how to use the
introspection code to figure out the name of the function that is calling
the current function. Started work on the "rename class" code.

Body: Talks with Matt about the mailing list and the new web-site being checked
into CVS.
Ordered an AP, partly for the following Hacking Society meetings, partly
for travel. Tried to order a 30GB hard drive for my laptop, but was
thwarted by a bad ecommerce setup at the site I was at. The idea is partly
to get another 10GB for my laptop, partly to shuffle drives around so that
we can get Evelyn's disc shipped back to IBM so they can send back one that
doesn't whine like the fan of a losing sports team.
Worked on trying to track down an issue in my python tar header decoding
code. Made some code that will dump a tar header, but wasn't able to find
out the issue in the actual tar file that's causing problems. This is to
fix an issue I noticed with my open-source streaming network backup
system, pyntar.

Body: This will be his last meeting with us before going to Ottawa. He'll be
missed... Brought a wireless access-point, which helped us get on the net,
since the JYMIS AP is kind of far away. He also spent quite a while
looking up tidbits about the song "Going Back to Liverpool" by the Bangles
and Katrina and the Waves...
Worked on packaging mod_antislash for Debian. Pretty much done. This is
an Apache module which, if the referring site is Slashdot, it generates a
page which is an array of frames, each of which loads Slashdot.

next meeting.

ready to go, he's going to commit it in a minute here.
