I'm the author! As some have guessed, I did, indeed, conceive of this for procrastinating and reading non-work materials at work. I don't actually expect to use it, but it was one of those ideas that I couldn't get out of my head until I had it working. And after that, it wasn't too much effort to clean it up and lob it onto the Internet. Although, perhaps calling it "cleaned up" is a bit generous considering it's 1k lines of shell script. Maybe there are some grad students or researchers out there for whom this will come in handy. Given its mostly-unstated purpose, releasing it on Labor Day was a small joke for my own entertainment :)
