Setup Amanda (Skylar)
Copy /cluster/old-hopper to tape, give it to charlie (Skylar)
Fiber uplink for bazaar (Charlie)
Put Athena in the display cabinet
Setup Povray on Athena
Protect F@C source and molecular systems, open http, ftp?, ssh? at cluster.earlham.edu
Update speedup and speedup/efficiency within DVT for endnodes (Alex)

Work with Betsy Ward to get the plumbing for F@C setup on the D224 OSX machines. Local user, document the setup with a Wiki entry. (Alex)
Fix a2.x release (Josh^2)
Console (JoshM)

Environment variable called $FATCHOME
Command line
Sockets to communicate with mother
Variable in mother.conf for console port
Mother listens and responds to commands on the console port
Command list: status [(running|paused|stopped), molecular system, x out of y steps completed, estimated time remaining, # nodes started, # of nodes current], checkpoint, pause, resume, stop.
Command line option -nn interval for compact, refreshed display.
First version of console has to be supplied with a hostname and port number.
Future versions (possibly when we introduce the grandmother) can take a $FATCHOME environment variable that points to a mother.conf file (to get a port number) as a discovery mechanism.
