[Tech] New client machine up at Ascend

Sat Apr 18 11:13:50 PDT 2015

Hi,

Okay, I was able to connect with Tai just now via skype, and that worked
out well.  We talked about his availability for this month and the status
of the custom CD and how to deploy it in Abigail's Linux lab.  He said that
he had reached some impasses with regard to the server, and so we are going
to need to take a different tack with regard to the server.  I will reach
out to some others here on the list locally and see if we can move the ball
forward that way.  It was nice speaking with you today Tai, thanks!
