Hi,

Were there any interesting questions about HG that I should address in
class tomorrow?

Could you do a demonstration of using queues?

Yes, I definitely could. It took me a while until I truly understand
how useful (and potentially dangerous -- watch out), queues are. But
they are both very useful and surprisingly easy to use. I can devote
most of Friday's class to how to use them, with a step-by-step
tutorial.

Yay! Thanks. I think it'll be a lot easier to understand if someone
explains to me in person before I read the Sage Docs tutorial on
queues.

I second the motion on queues.

Also, I had a slightly more difficult time trying modify an existing patch on Trac, as opposed to creating a new one from scratch. If there's time left over in class tomorrow, could we perhaps go over this? I'm guessing though that there's a large intersection with using queues in any case.
