I'm new to OSX (recent convert from linux) so I couldn't figure out
how to view /dev/console (maybe if I'd started Textmate from the shell
instead of the finder or spotlight?) so I wrote it to a file instead.

Anyway:
There are indeed duplicates:

Refactoring\ With\ Continuous\ Testing\ -\ a\ Guided\ Tour

Ruby\ Hoedown\ TeeVee\ -\ \"Hee\ Haw\!\"
After\ the\ Hoedown\ is\ Over\,\ Part\ 1


Note that the first duplication seems to have happened because I sent
my last post, and it never indicated success, so I posted it again,
then I had to go to the typo web interface and de-publish the
duplicate.
