EvoGrid
Worked on a human readable status page for the EvoGrid.
Reduced database on-disk size by two thirds, by sacrificing flexibility. This was in place for a future direction that we have decided not to pursue.

Now have the Evogrid daemon code running on multiple Debian machines. Yesterdays simulation time was discarded due to a bug that occurred during the change to make the code more portable.
Internet problem expanded to a phone line problem, after periodically having no dial tone and noise/dropped calls. ISP/Phone company reluctant to send out technician for intermittent problem. Technicians are contracted from another company, with significant fees for call out if no problem is detected.

Set up the Evogrid sources on another machine to use for simulation.
This machine uses dual Athlon CPUs. There is a lot of various information about the correct operating temperature of Athlon CPUs. The technical sheet from AMD says they are rated for 85C to 90C, depending on the model.
The machine in question is currently running at 80C on both CPUs with both CPUs pegged at 100%.
Today Internet connection dropped noticeably, a line test showed a definate problem. ISP is performing a test at a lower speed profile "to see if it works". Wife told me that while this problem occurred, she was in the yard and saw a telephone company technician working on the pillar. Tomorrow will contact ISP and inform them of this.
