Drawn

Just thinking of how my codebase starts to randomly grow waaay over me, I'm feeling completely drawn into this (just by the look absolutely lovable) book ... fantastic Sunday :D

Best be noted that the one proof of living in a simulation that stands quite firmly in my opinion is that galloping horses have 4 legs by visual, but 3 if you carefully check the audio stream.

Update: hard proof

* Though Wikipedia states that some folks claim this to be already all done & dusted! Well, what undone ticket skeletons may linger in the wardrobe kanban boards then? God knows how much earlier it could've been done if it was communicated to be outstanding and that it's just a matter of an checkbox tick... 😠

By the way I'd like to kindly ask all team members: please please please avoid wrongfully marking issues as "complete" in the tracker. Many thanks in advance!

os.system vs. line continuation on Windows :\

(note to self)

So at least in the Windows style (and of course actually on Windows), Python's os.system does not much enjoy the there accepted ^ symbols that otherwise are meant to mark lines of a batch file that would continue in the next, even if these are used for the purpose correctly -- and they otherwise work fine even if pasted into a command line shell.

Could be that it was the cr+lf's that halted the parsing at the end of the first line? Maybe someone will find out and publish.

For me, just one more lesson learnt the hard way ... :)
