I found that little minion had been toiling away in obscurity in a distant data center in Northern Virginia, faithfully and perfectly, for 446 days. Basically, minion has been running without a hiccup since the day I set it up. Since no good deed goes unpunished, I decided to give minion a major linux upgrade, which ended in a reboot, ending its 446 day run. And the purpose of this silly message is to post something to stash, to watch it show up a second later on minion. And to be fair after bitching about stupid servers. Here we go...
