[Tech] New client machine up at Ascend

[Christian Einfeldt]

Sorry, my fault!  I got excited about Abigail's lab yesterday and forgot to
confirm for today and then I overslept!  We can try to coordinate a call
now via skype.  I will need to start my notebook computer.  Let's still try
to complete this call today via skype.
