(And had a grand time realizing that my saved Izzy file was not going to open, really, on any of the computers without doing a switch of updates again –> opening it on my computer in order to do a manual re-making of it in the “new” version.) 30 minutes later, with the Isadora and Vuo patches rebuilt, Oded, L., and I could not get Vuo to send images to Isadora.
Two methods of failed discovery in addition to a lot of quits and restarts etc:

- Connected the Kinect with which Lexi was successfully working to my computer, and connected my Kinect line to hers. Both worked.

This was one of those days where all I started to feel I was running out of options:
UPDATE 11-30-15: Alex returned to run the patches from the MOLA preceding our before-class meeting. He had “good news and bad news:” both worked. We’re going to review these later this week to see where my troubleshooting could have brought me final success.
