Had a little check in with Dan this evening.  I'm glad we finally got to touch base with a more instant exchange rather than some back and forth emails. It sounds like he's getting over the hump of being without a computer for some time here.  I've checked the wiki and his contact info is up there. I'm a little disappointed he wasn't able to get his decisions on which tests he'll be doing but we talked about it and I understand his predicament.  He's agreed to get in his decisions by class time tomorrow.  Here's to hoping he follows through.
