Back to Work

I have spent the majority of today catching up on email. Man, there is a lot of it. I finally feel like I made a dent, but I still have quite a bit of catching up to do.

This Thursday, I will be meeting a bunch of the OpenIB guys at a hotel in SF to talk about the development effort. Should hopefully be productive.

In other news, my T21 parts laptop from Ebay arrived while I was gone. FedEx dropped it off at my neighbors (which I find somewhat convenient, but also a bit distressing -- what if I didn't know my neighbors?). It was missing memory and a hard drive. I put a stick from my broken laptop in and tried booting the Ebay one. It came up to a very messed up looking screen, but I could tell it was the BIOS POST. Tonight, I plan on plugging it into an external monitor -- I want to verify the motherboard is ok before I swap it with my broken laptop.

Also, Aub's desktop is acting funny. Maybe overheating due to the hot weather in San Francisco. She turned it off, and I should look into it tonight. So, I will be having a fun hair pulling evening ahead of me.
