HELL YEAH!
WE TOTALLY OWNED ON THIS PROJECT!!!!
52 man hours...HA!
It's done early, and works in even the most strenuous situations we can devise (and yes, we broke many things many times getting there).
Kudos go to my partner Kevin for being totally awesome, and Prof. Hosking for providing such a wonderful framework that took many an hour to puzzle through. And now sleep sounds good, since there have been waaaaay too many long nights this week.
