I don't know whether or not it is our instance at $dayjob that has a wonky setup, or if it is the elements client, or what (probably the client, as the problems all but disappear in the webb-ui version), but oh how many synchronization

If I'd try to describe/categorize it, I'd call it a local, ?most often? single-user, scriptable and plugginable wiki-software. I use it for taking notes, keeping a journal, TODO-list, and to bookmark/annotate stuff. Basi

I just re-read the entire reasoning, and I got it all wrong I think. N%2 will only ever yield one of two inputs. In short, I shouldn't try to brain before the morning coffee ;D

> What we can do is replace the number N with the equation N % 2. That has only a finite number of inputs and leads to a valid table. Just so I'm understanding it correctly, it should say "finite number of OUTPUTS" there,
