Testing, testing

Didn't get nearly as much done this past couple days as I hoped. I wrote some simple Twill scripts and tried it out from the interactive interpreter. Read up some on doctest and unittest - I already use the former, but really dislike the latter because it's a jUnit-style framework (some other time, I'll write up a blog post about why that sucks). Also installed BicycleRepairMan, PyChecker, and some additional Emacs modes, though I haven't tried them out yet.

I also had to deal with some Windows idiocy and re-copy my VMWare virtual disk because VMWare has trouble when the disk file is owned by some other Windows user. I had created the VM initially as AMHERST/jdtang - yes, 2 years after graduation, my computer still thinks I was on the AMHERST domain because Windows apparently caches logins (good thing, too, otherwise it would break when I went home). After wiping my computer, no more AMHERST for me, so I created a local account that had trouble writing to the logs and virtual disks created by the domain account.
