Slept from eleven to four, when I woke up and couldn't fall back to sleep.
High of seventy-five today. Thunderstorms.
Goals:
- Work on Faux Bat
Done.
Advancing into hundreds-of-lines-of-code-and-doing-something-useful territory.
No sign of Jay having hit the dev server yet.
Took a two hour nap around noon.
Started watching the Netflix documentary The Keepers.

From G. K. Chesterton's 1929 book The Thing:
> In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, "I don't see the use of this; let us clear it away." To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: "If you don't see the use of it, I certainly won't let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it."
Set up basic backups on the dev server.
Picked up a handful of groceries at Target (coffee for the morning!).
Fifteen minute walk before sunset.
Really nice day out.
Just about everything that will spring has sprung;
it's summer in all but name.
Oh my gosh, the `vipe` utility in in the `moreutils` package is neat.
Use vim in a pipeline:
$ ls -l | vipe | less
Breakfast: left-over pizza
Lunch: coffee, peanut butter toast
