                             Cool! How'd I do that?
                                        
So I'm compiling Eric Brill's language tagger [1] when I see neat quotes pop
up during each compilation. I'm wondering how he did that, thinking that's a
pretty cool thing to do while compiling a program.

Then it hit me—it was spawning a shell for each compile, and when I spawn a
shell, I have a cookie program run to spit out a quote.

Oh. It's me that was doing that.
