 ====March 8, 2016====
 I made some customization changes to .bashrc which allowed me to run programs at start-up and personalize the welcome page.
+====March 9, 2016====
+I submitted the cus0 project, and got started on the udr0 project. It is slightly confusing right now. I realized that part of the memdump.ram data file is a uuencoded file, so I took that out, and decoded it. It turned out to be a data file.
+====March 10, 2016====
+Still trying to figure out udr0.
+====March 11, 2016====
+So I finally found out that the dectohex.c file can be used by changing a few lines and compiling several times to create hextodec and octodec. These can be used to find the numbers given. After that, I was able to find the various parts of the puzzle.
+====March 14, 2016====
+I finally found the right way and stages to combine the parts.
+====March 15, 2016====
+Getting started on udr1. Got right ahead and obtained the file. However, I did get confused soon.
+====March 16, 2016====
+I found out how to get the four parts out of the disk.image. However, I am hung up on how to put files into F:
+====March 18, 2016====
+Found out that the mcopy is useful for moving files. Cannot figure out how to put part 4 (F:) back into disk.image.
+====March 21, 2016====
+**Holy Week**
+I learned that the way I was trying to stick part 4 back in disk.image was not correct. I just needed to use dd with conv=notrunc.
+====March 22, 2016====
+I am starting udr2 now. This is slightly more difficult than udr1. I am still figuring it out. More later
+====March 23, 2016====
+I had to ask Mr. Haas about the project, and have now started on it. The first half seems easy.
+====March 25, 2016====
+Well, easy-ish. I have gotten in a roll, and have done quite a bit.
+====March 31, 2016====
+I have almost finished udr2, I can finish it this week and next.
+====April 6, 2016====
+I forgot about the second half of udr2. I will most likely not have it finished in time.
+====April 8, 2016====
+I finished upr0 now, after having found a way to hack it and not wait the two hours. I wonder if that was part of the test.
+====April 14, 2016====
+I have started on the next project. This is pretty straight-forward, although I have barely written any shell script before. I am trying to finish before this weekend.
+====April 15, 2016====
+Well. I will not be finished before this weekend, although I am rather far into it.
+====April 18, 2016====
+After a weekend of thinking, I have started again on the gfo0 project. I have finished the project component, but messed up the other two sections.
+====April 19, 2016====
+I have been working on gfo0, but am no closer to finishing.
+====April 20, 2016====
+I finally realized that for the Journal component, I just needed the outputs of the commands cat thing | grep 1:opus | wc -l, and cat thing | grep :opus | wc -l.
+====April 21, 2016====
+I am starting on the eoce. first part, huh?
+====April 22, 2016====
+I have unraveled the first part of the puzzle-box, still trying to figure out the rest of it.
+====April 25, 2016====
+I started on the next part, leaving the puzzle-box for later.
+====April 26, 2016====
+The next part is the palindrome. I did the first way, and I am trying to figure out a completely different way to do it.
+====April 27, 2016====
+I figured out another way to check for a palindrome. I am now going to start on the pom project.
+====April 28, 2016====
+Pom is giving me trouble. I figured out how to find the next full moon. I am having trouble finding how far to skip after the first full moon.
+====April 29, 2016====
+I finally realized that the I can make a loop to skip through 27 days. This gave me a day cushion to make sure I did not over-step the next full moon.
+====May 2, 2016====
+The counter, apparently cannot use bc. I will have to make counters for binary, octal, and hexadecimal.
+The counters were really rather easy.
+====May 3, 2016====
+The last two parts, except for the in person knowledge assessment should be easy, aside from needing to think a bit.
+====May 4, 2016====
+The pom thing apparently does not work for single digit days. I had to fix a few things to make sure it would work for any day numbers.
