Installathon
I finished copying files from ubik and installed a bunch of software: eclipse, aquamacs, tomcat, and mysql.

New Mac
I got my new Mac laptop today and spent most of the day setting it up. I also looked at why the ldap products were not working on the new version of Zope. It turns out that the python ldap library was not installed.

Mail and LDAP
There's a proposed new project to better support email in ldap. I'm investigating what would be involved. Marty told us that his comments on a PAR were lost. Greg and I investigated, but couldn't find anything.

New problems
More discussion with Greg about par problems and enhancements. And I started working on a new problem, removing absolute urls from Zope.

Par Problems
When we got in this morning, the PAR was down. This turned out to be a power problem which took down the database. When power was brought back, it took a while to get the database back up, and after that it took a while to get the par application up successfully. So things were down until about eleven. After lunch we fixed a problem with the review signatures and talked about proposed enhancements.

Put it to Bed
I added the Varnish evaluation to the software reviews in Zope. I investigated what turned out to be a transient error in the PAR and looked at the question of adding session persistence to Tomcat applications.

Varnish Review
I finished writing the varnish review. Tomorrow I will upload it to Zope.

Varnish Docs
I'm reading the varnish docs, trying to figure out how to configure it (the default is trivial, but not useful to us) and do things like round robin (doesn't seem to be supported internally, except the most trivial sort.)

Par Wrapup
I gathered the information for Lynn's diagrams on the par (where I could) and talked with Greg about future enhancement to the par.

I've been working on the varnish evaluation, studying the documentation on configuring it.
