+Got the arm webapp to build! (I have not tried to run it.) The build
+process for this is quite elaborate; 2 chroots, one amd64 and one armel,
+with the same versions of everything installed in each, and git-annex is
+built in the first to get the info the EvilSplicer needs to build it in the
+second.
+
+Fixed a nasty bug in the assistant on OSX, where at startup it would follow
+symlinks in the repository that pointed to directories outside the
+repository, and add the files found there. Didn't cause data loss itself
+(in direct mode the assistant doesn't touch the files), but certianly
+confusingly breaks things and makes it easy to shoot your foot off. I will
+be moving up the next scheduled release because of this bug, probably to
+Saturday.
+
+Looped the git developers in on a problem with git failing on some kernels
+due to `RLIMIT_NOFILE` not working. Looks like git will get more robust and
+this should make the armel build work on even more embedded devices.
+
+Today's work was sponsored by Johan Herland.
