[19:37:57 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> in other words
[19:38:13 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> set NODE_ENV=demo_local should cause the system to read preferences off the file system?
[19:38:32 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> That appears to be right
[19:38:46 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> Although I wouldn't swear to it 100% since I have never done it
[19:40:11 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> it looks like it is the case
[19:41:14 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> okay, good
[19:41:16 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> I now understand this system at least vaguely 
[19:42:35 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> cool
[19:42:39 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> I'm off to dinner shortly
[19:42:46 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> Anything I can do/report quickly?
[20:18:26 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Bosmon: We're cool
[20:18:29 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Jim's demo is all set
[20:18:34 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> everything works great on his machine
[20:18:37 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> thanks again, dude
[20:18:40 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> I really appreciate it
