There are a whole slew of html/php files (from jottings.thought.org)
that I've been [[ koff, koff ]] meaning to edit and fine-tune. This
for about a year. "jOttings" are my personal meditations that
have been online for years. They'll always be online, but it's
a wee bit hard to cuddle up and read stuff on one's computer.
Even a laptop, right? So, long-story-short, I've been trying to
get these mumblings into ink+paper. So they've got to be
readable. "Perfect" is impossible; so maybe *polished*.
Turns out that your and Derek Ragona's /bin/sh + awk is what I'm
using. (OT, but the 30-45 files I'm editing had some bloopers;
misspellings, puncutation errs, and more. So the files are in
/tmp/Jot. [!] )
