For the first many months, I was essentially a clever interface to an array of search engines. I came to have a great appreciation for the common phenomenon of a detailed solution to a very specific problem, laid out beautifully in the personal site of someone I&rsquo;d never met. I answered a lot of &ldquo;how on Earth did you figure that out?&rdquo; with &ldquo;somebody on the Internet wrote about it&rdquo;.</p>
