Recent tools make it possible to partition the space of rational Dehn 
surgery slopes for a knot (or in some cases a link) in a 3-manifold into 
domains over which the Heegaard Floer homology of the surgered manifolds 
behaves continuously as a function of slope. I will describe some 
techniques for determining the walls of discontinuity separating these 
domains, along with efforts to interpret some aspects of this structure 
in terms of the behaviour of co-oriented taut foliations. This talk 
draws on a combination of independent work, previous joint work with 
Jake Rasmussen, and work in progress with Rachel Roberts.
