    keyword=halog problem / solution

    Halog stopped working at ~11:30.  Problem were files of
    the form .09096564335.html.swp and .0909664321.html.swo 
    (starts with a dot, ends with a .swp or .swo).
    These are results of a "vi" session that didn't end correctly.
    
    halogscript chokes on these.  
    
    I removed them.
    
    For the record, halogscript also chokes on files of the form
    #090904145531.html# which result from emacs.  Not sure about
    files like 090954501410.html~ but probably it wouldn't like 
    those.
    
    So don't use emacs at all, and be careful with vi.
    And some expts don't like editing halog entries at all
    but that's a different question.
