I believe the term you're looking for is executor, not executioner. Unless you already have that in place, too.

... to think that I'm uninteresting and inconsequential enough that nobody would ever be interested in my /home/ directory. I hide behind a router and firewall, and run GNU/Linux. Isn't that enough for us peons?

I have the benefit/detriment of living on the cusp of a timezone, the NSW/QLD imaginary border, which an hour apart. There are benefits of course; the banks and stores are open an hour later in QLD of an afternoon. My work (invariably over the border) means I can sleep in for another hour, yet means I get home later.

Everybody you talk to refers to either NSW or QLD time, as it's the nightmare we face six months of the year - many an appointment is missed as you arrive an hour late, or the annoyance of an hour early.

QLD had a governmental enquiry into adopting NSW daylight savings time, which was accepted by the Southern QLD population, but was defeated by the Northern, as they didn't want their curtains to be bleached, nor their cows to be confused by the extra hour of sunshine. I kid you not, that was their reasoning.

I come from a somewhat rural background, yet shudder to think of the idiocy behind that.
