  1. D’oh! Thanks for the correction. I blame Emory!

    • As you should, because it’s my fault. Turtle is still a Friend of the Internet, but I withdraw Legendary status until further notice.

    • I don’t know where I got this reputation as being a bag snob. Probably because that bag sucks.

  2. Hey Emory, you keep talking about your “infamous” Unison script for synchronizing your home folders on kvet.ch and the show. When are you planning to actually share it for us plebs? I’m still living the “rsync dream” in my world. There’s got to be an easier way…

    • I didn’t see this until today. I need to think about packing it up for distribution, it’s a hodgepodge right now.
