When I finger this address, I get several hundred lines like this:

  [1;1H
  [1;1H
  [1;1H
  ...

then it says this:

  Error: timed out while doing something indeterminable

Couldn't see any info about jpatters (which is usually why you finger
somebody).  Maybe animated plans aren't such a hot idea after all...
