Late update

I've been trying to a bit of everything lately and I have to say that progress is unfortunately slow.

Concerning Grid: I got mycertificate. I've been keeping notes while doing it, so if someone needs it I'll gladly send them. Of course they are UW-Madison oriented but should work for any CMS person with few changes.

PROOF: I finally managed to create a TSelector for CMSSW root files! I've been trying to use the root files I had around from the summer, or some test root files that I created with CMMSW_1_1_0. The script I was using until now was dropping most of the branches and kept very specific stuff. Now, since the plan is to start looking at RCT stuff as well, we created some files with all the branches kept. I thought to give it one more try and this time it worked!

Jessica gave us a small intro to the RCT code. Now I'll have to start looking at it myself as well an play with it :)
