Still trying to resolve a software CORBA problem over a local wireless network. Working on other things (like proposals) in the meantime... today I decided to use the otherwise-vacant satellite link back to Madrid and to NASA to call into an hour-long telecon.

Sitting out in the parking lot at 6pm here, in a telecon over a satellite link (IP phone sitting on the truck edge)...

Long day

Sorry to hear that...

but good to see the photo. Its good to have the visual image and stuff.

Incidentally, you made a comment earlier about herding cats...One of the people that I met over the weekend used the phrase "herding butterflies" because its a three-dimensional problem. I liked that, though admit that I know much more about how non-herdable cats *are*, and the fact that cats are much noisier than butterflies.

Jen was trying to get in touch with you via the sat phone. She got the Utah Ground Station and a busy signal :-/
