Let's see … there was the bug [1] in my Gemini server [2], two [3] bugs [4]
in a custom module for my gopher server [5], so it's little surprise to me to
find a bug in a third server I wrote—this time my “Quote of the Day” server
(no public repository for that one, but the service is easy to implement
[6]).

This bug was a simple “off-by-one” error—when I got to the last quote the
program should have wrapped around to restart with the first quote, only that
code was “off-by-one” (thus the name). It only took a while to hit because it
required serving up 4,187 quotes before restarting and it's not like it gets
hit all that often.

I'd say “I think that's it for now,” but I'm worried that would jinx me for a
slew of new bugs to show up, so I won't say it.
