Indeed.

Go right ahead - mark the components that are not yours into
Controllers/bricks.txt.
Lending things from the office is quite ok, if
1) you tell me and write it down in CVS
2) you bring it back
(BTW: did someone already ask vegai for the TAOCP volume 1?)

Sounds good.

I don't understand this one. next/prev in which sense?
There's one plan I have re: this
that I haven't yet talked too much about
except with jvk.
One of the arms (or another controller) would be used to
change the layout: the extremes would be the current layout
(spatial-centric) to one where you see puzzle pieces around
the link anchors crowd near each others and the rest of the pieces
move a little further away. I'll explain in detail on monday.
