Breaking Things, Getting Ready, and Getting Access

It turns out I broke authentication on Tuesday afternoon while putting some code changes in place. Oddly, I was still able to post Tuesday evening after the DLANC meeting, but the code was broken so I'm not sure how that worked. Something still looks to be a little wacky, but it should just affect authenticated access, so none of you should see it.

That doesn't have anything to do with me not posting yesterday, though. I didn't notice until this morning. Yesterday I was just busy studying for my last midterm before spring break. Now I have classes today, work tomorrow, and then Monday Kathy and I fly to South Carolina for six days.

I'm working on getting internet access working through my phone. If I can get that going I'll use that while I'm in SC. I have my laptop able to make the phone connect to network and from the console it looks like the ppp connection starts up correctly, but something still isn't working right through kppp. I think I'm close, though.
