Spent around an hour or so working on the blurb description last week, and more time than than I would have liked working on the proposal this week. Shane was very helpful, commenting on stuff I could add to the proposal and whatnot. That included going through a proposed implementation plan, which makes things much clearer now.

He was also kind enough to show me around and I finally got around to sorting out lab access to the WAND hardware lab. Will try to spend some time in the labs everyday -- chances are I'll be more productive in a "serious" environment.

For the next 2-3 weeks, the plan is to play around with Libprotoident and have a look at the examples, source code, etc but assignments are cropping up too, so not sure how well I'll be able to stick to the proposed schedule.
