jarful

Please, no... 🤦

(rant)

I've kept this nick since back in the 1990s, when I had to spell it over the phone while creating an account, because client support said "Oh, like Garfield?" and I found it funny... since I also liked cats, the comic strip, hated Mondays, and loved lasagna... a couple decades later Google decided that "Did you mean: jar file", and since becoming a brony, the full jar thing has become a very unfortunate coincidence. But I refuse to change it, I was there first!...

Sincere apologies, I typed it correctly 2/3 times and messed up on number 3. Corrected.
