Me did moan. Me did code, too, the retarded way. Wrote a couple score lines
of Perl to extract bits of JavaScript out of pages at a certain site,
slightly modify them, run them, extract the links produced, and harvest the
results using wget. This to get automated access to a repository of OSTs
rather than clicking a jillion times for getting only one album. Also,
another couple score lines of Perl (for IRSSI) to auto-fetch packs from
XDCC bots.

And none of this applies to or concerns Plan 9, which may be a cause for
regret--or not.
