I wanted to use GMail from a fast cli that used the native gmail API.

I wanted to download concurrently and according to patterns. Ok, so honestly this one probably exists somewhere in a form that I would like, but I couldn't find it.

I wanted multi-party authorization for sudo, and couldn't find one.

People kept using gettimeofday, so this is part of my compaign against it. (see https://blog.habets.se/2010/09/gettimeofday-should-never-be-...)

I wanted my bash scripts to have automatic indentation, while not sacrificing buffering latency and such.

I wanted a simple tool to audit my TLS certificates for expiry.
