* Due: Project 2.6.
  * If you need a few more hours, that's fine.
  * If you need a few more days, please talk to Sam.
* Reading for Tuesday: Chapter 4.  Remember that you can skim the Web project and Programming Project sections.

  * You should be able to explain your code when it's returned to you
  * You should be able to explain the general structure of the algorithm
    in English
  * Translate simple instructions to Python

* Things that make Sam happy.
  * Students:
  * Transcriptionists: "IMS are up for sale from the Department of History"
* Things that make Sam sad.

* Sam's technology recommendation of the day: Use DropBox
  * Better than flash drives for shifting your files around.  (But
    StorageServer works, too.)
  * If you know that multiple people are going to use DropBox, work
    together so that you can get bonuses for signing up other people.
* Also Piazza for questions for this class
* Also LastPass for storing multiple passwords
