My original idea was to watch a minimal shred run by teeing its work into a checksummer. But then topic drift came in. So we got a farm show of random generators and a discussion about what exactly is a bug in shred's documentation. Plus the shell programming webinar. And a diagnosis about a rightously failed attempt to change the partition table type from MBR/DOS to GPT. And this all because Gene Heskett was adventurous enough to buy a cheap fake USB disk.
