<div dir="ltr">Hey Kurt, et. al.,<div><br></div><div>Still hanging in there. $DAYJOB is at Rice Univ running Linux servers for the Computer Science department and clients for the grad students.

Deal with it.</div><div><br></div><div>Also deal with systemd (sweet Jesus why can't they leave well enough alone). Always fixing what's not broken.
