I first tried to use sqlite's ability to import a file into a table, but ran
into a problem: if any line in the source file didn't have the same number of
columns as the table, the import would fail. For example, if your 10 question
survey ends with a comment field and a respondent left it blank, that line will
have 9 columns instead of 10 and the import will fail.

Next I tried to use a combination of command line tools like `cut` and `paste`,
but couldn't figure out anything that was reasonable. So I gave up and wrote a
perl script, which is fine, because this is what perl is good at.

#!/usr/bin/perl

my @FILES = glob('*');
my $X = shift @FILES;
my @Xstat = stat($X);
my $Xesc = $X; $Xesc =~ s/([^a-zA-Z0-9])/\\$1/g;
FILE: foreach my $Y (@FILES) {
	my @Ystat = stat($Y);
	$Yesc = $Y; $Yesc =~ s/([^a-zA-Z0-9])/\\$1/g;
	if ($Xstat[7] == $Ystat[7]) { # files same size?

# This shell script handles conflicts generated by attempts to merge encrypted
# Ansible Vault files. Run `git merge` as usual; when git warns of a merge
# conflict, run this command to attempt a merge on the unencrypted versions of
# the file. If there are conflicts, you will be given a chance to correct them
# in $EDITOR.

# "ping" a server by making a HTTP request once every 1-2 seconds. It waits
# for the server to stop responding, then prints the current time, then waits
# for the server to respond again, then prints the time and quits.

# I wrote this to measure downtime during a reboot against a server that did
# could not respond to ICMP (ping) messages.
