Today us undergrads threw a fiesta, complete with sombreros! We've been wanting to do this all summer. Since today is Nate's last day, it was also a goodbye for him.

Yesterday I learned how to make network cables. Today I made a couple more and learned how to test a crossover cable.

I got the new query working! I have a feeling that I'm not really using DBIx::Class to its full potential, since I basically just used it to reconstruct my SQL query, but it works and I didn't have to pass it straight SQL. The difference in speed is significant. I'm working through an issue with blank bars not showing up on the graph with this new query, but I've almost got it straightened out.

Nate taught us about SSH, port forwarding, and tunneling. We learned to use VNC.

My last day is in less than 3 weeks, and I probably have about 8 days of work left.

I cleaned up my documents today. Note to self: I'm working off these now:

• master todo jul 28 (do not use "progess lately" again!)
• jul27
