How about:

Find all posts where <user> was thanked?

A letter can absolutely thank someone, as a wanted poster can offer a reward for your capture. A post is of course not a 'who', but a 'that'.
Forget about mangling sentences to.avoid ending them with a preposition. That is something, 'up with which I will not put'.

"Find all posts <user> was thanked for" doesn't appear mangled to you?

That is something, 'up with which I will not put'.
Certainly, ending a sentence with a preposition is not always incorrect. Winston Churchill was quite right in that. However, this instance appeared awkward.

And, of course, "A witty saying proves nothing."

Since we're on about xkcd, anyone else get cyborg.py running?

I commented figlet for the moment; I'm sure it's available, or if not, should be a simple compile; but I'll mess with that later. I can always
Code:
chroot /mnt/initfs/ text2screen -s 10 -t Whatever
if I want big text.

I'm trying to roust up gpspipe; I can't even compile it from source yet, because in Diablo, libc-dev is older than libc... still working on that.

Update: In Chinook, I can build gpspipe... and it works!! (With built-in gpsd.) Can't say whether it actually works yet, I gotta take it back to Diablo, and go outside. Once I get this working, I'll quit hijacking this, and make a new thread with most of gpsd-clients, and cyborg.py.

Update: Wrong libgps version (17, need 15 for maemo); anyone know what upstream gpsd version matches osso-gpsd 1.0-29?

Edit: Found the upstream... https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2877 says it's gpsd 2.32...
