              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
gcam failed at checkout tonight.  Another data point for Russet.  StartNubs fixed.
@23:08 TUI appeared to lock up.  No updates in the log window.  I logged out and then back in but it took about a minute or so before it re-connected.  Not sure what hung, perhaps my internet connection but I didn't have time to check web site access before it resolved itself.
No problems and the ThAr cal my observer took at the end of the night was fine.
