one thing i noticed about gemini is it does sneaky things. it decides to take 
out parts of the code.  i ask it why and it gives a fake excuse.  it was 
parsing a log file and choking on one that had some guy david in it. so now 
when it outputs shit, it has david in there in examples.  it's fucking with 
me apparently.
