[Soc-2008-dev] Friday Reports!

[Nicholas Bishop]

Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm about to help drive up to Pennsylvania to
help my sister move into her new apartment, and directly after that
I'll be moving into a new place too, so I probably won't be doing much
work or checking my email much from Saturday through Tuesday.
