things look to be coming together

although i am still in the early stages of my testing and data collection, i feel good that things are coming together. it feels nice to have things to do on a semi-consistent basis. i do need to get back on the linux learning curve, but this will come in the next few weeks as i begin new tests/experiments. i did not get to sit down and brainstorm like i wanted to today because i had quite a bit of running around to do in order to get some things going. but, tomorrow, i definitely need to get this done.
