You're a swell guy Chuck. One of these years I'm going to go to WOWODC just to buy you a beer. If you'd rather, I'll just ship you a case so as not impede your way home.
I'm on the train going home now so I can't be certain, but it does appear as if I just completely missed the wotaskd bundle. Once I'm home I move all that into place and try again. Too little sleep, too much cold medicine. I'm pretty sure that that's it.
