Given infinite time and energy, I could build everything
I ever wanted or needed, and then some.

I was kind of looking for a simple solution that "just
works" until I can get around to adding the GUI I
eventually plan to add anyway.

It sounds so seductively simple, too: "just implement
my own text-based captive interface". (What the heck
is that, anyway?)
