Breakthrough

Today was one of those rare breakthrough days.

After many months of work, about 90% of the modules on our side of our Hopkins/Fraunhofer cooperation project that I am working on started working together.
The system consists of lots of separate reusable executables that "run anywhere" (meaning on any of our four or five project machines) and communicate with each other using mostly TCP/IP or shared memory. And over the course of the last two or three days, I figured out (with some help) the last remaining stumbling block to get the data constructed that the Fraunhofer people need.

It's about 8:20pm, so that means I can go home early.
