 this morning I'm thinking about how git's history of being built as a series of shell scripts has... 
 @e06c1f25 There's a lot of inconsistency. E.g. a lot of commands are 'git COMMAND VERB SUBJECT', like 'git remote add'. But git tag mysteriously uses flags for its verbs. 
 I get asked SO often about my name, and the question is either utterly tedious (if it's someone I know reasonably well) or puts me on edge (if it's a random stranger, are they going to start being brexity at me?). And as my family history is a patchwork of different places, I'm curious about other people's. But like this article says, it's not a question to leap in with directly.

 @d7f4cce1 What's the file format? Is it human-readable and editable (which would be a workaround for ordering bookmarks).
