Relief after a busy period

Starting from about 2:00 PM yesterday till 3:30 PM today, I've been extremely busy working on the esc/bug assigned to me. Most of the time was spent downloading 611 packages and installing them. Yesterday I was trying to debug the AAA in a very distributed way - with the AM and DS being on Baabu Mohsay's machine, and the AAA and WG on mine. Since I had to repeatedly start/stop the DS, I had to pester Baabu Mohsay and it was taking a hell of a lot of time. So today I decided to install a 611 system on my own machine. Of course, that meant that I had to download the packages. I could have made a debug build off the source code, but my VC6 is pretty flaky and the build could have involved multiple restarts. So that's the way it was.
