| schestowitz | It is a symptom of something. To me, it can be indicative of untrustworthy character. Promises broken. | Mar 28 08:47 |

| schestowitz | OK, I got the latest version put in place and adjusted the path. | Mar 28 08:56 |

| schestowitz | Curiously enough, before I altered the path param it went off creating a directory called "~" under ~/ (in effect ~/~) and then under that Documents etc. | Mar 28 09:30 |
| schestowitz | No idea why the path was interpreted like this by Debian. | Mar 28 09:30 |
| schestowitz | I deleted ~/~ and changed the said param to ~/Links where I have things set for import into Kate, after some post-processing with gnu tools. | Mar 28 09:30 |
| schestowitz | I've just finished work and have loads to catch up with in the weekend. We still manage to find lots of fruit for breakfast. We need the vitamins; I can imagine many people currently have poor diet and too much toilet papers LOL !! | Mar 28 09:30 |
