Another Productively Lost Day

Last Friday was our first real "Work From Home Friday". I woke up that morning with confidence in finding the way the OLPC journal talks to each activity and vice versa. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be. I spent the greater part of the day unsuccessfully pinging Google and the interwebz for some information on this ticket of mine. Having another day where I felt like I made no progress whatsoever isn't very encouraging....As a last ditch effort, I pinged

sugar in IRC hoping that they would be able to point me in the right

direction, but to no avail. I left my laptop to clear my head and rethink my strategy in finding the answer to my ticket. After about 15 min of thinking, I figured out that I would just get a copy of the journal code and a sugar build activity that already prints to the journal and rip them apart to find what made them talk. The normal sugar activities are found Here at the sugar labs activity downloads. After obtaining a working activity, I searched the web for the sugar github repository and found that they are set up in Gitorious at git.Sugarlabs. After creating an account, I was able to grab a copy of the journal and start inspecting the code. I have yet to find the code that links, but I am still determined to get it.
