just restarted my machine (Ubuntu maintenance). As usual, owncloud gives one happy notice about syncing before saying it's failing and putting up a red X. This is too hard / unreliable.

One happy summer I made a hypertalk application with 80KLoc of HyperTalk code. I want that experience for putting my world together.

How do I give Mary an editable view of her budget? Google spreadsheets are tempting, but how much of my soul do I have to sell?

If I want to look at financial stuff away from my home office... finquick development is kinda cool but pretty slow. I'd be pretty comfortable with an ipython notebook. Sandstorm can do that. But how do I give the notebook access to my files? I have an hg repo for the files... and hg is packaged in sandstorm. Can I give access to an hg repo grain to an ipython notebook grain?
