CU added VPN support for Vista, this will make
it easier for me to deploy simulations to tigercat
Optical Tweezers
·
Discuss drag handling & auto-drop with
Chris.
Upcoming Work
· Rotation/Torque for AAPT(see above)
o Meeting with Rotation team after Optical Tweezers meeting
· Simulations for offline-use
· build/deploy/test all simulations for the main site?
o Fixed “won’t run under 1.6 failure” for SDPM
o Many sims have improvements
o Many sims have fixed a known bug (swing thread)
· Licensing issues/Meet with Kate Tallman
· GUI for translation system
· CCK
o remove old CCK, upgrade to CCK DC Only version after some small fixes
