Progress
Played a bit with my silc python bindings. Now the test app can connect to a server. There are quite a few things I need to think through before going on and implement all the necessary methods. Not so much time to play with them though.
Burned a DVD+R with some stuff I wanted to get off the hard drive of my file server, whose network card decided it'd be cool to not work at 100Mbps any longer.
Off to study.
