Off the couch, finally! Had a good chuckle when I finally saw it. Thanks for the puzzle!

Thanks, Clark - I had to consult some past correspondence to help me solve, but luckily I print all my emails so it only took 6-8 hours to find what I needed.

The black cat is out of the black bag and has gone out trick-or-treating. Perfect Halloween puzzle.

I see one thing but swung on and missed with a guess. Back to the tricky treats board

Also, I think I just figured out the alias. You three…
Alias? Oh, you mean like when my Mom gets mad and calls me by my full name - "Clark Eggbert Tripe"?
As a proud descendant of four generations of men named Egbert (the fifth is my cousin), I have to point out that your Mom spelled it wrong.

Mom said it had something to do with the shape of my head.

LOL I am a dolt. Had it solved after like 10 minutes except for one comically small nuance. Once the second nudge confirmed that the thing I had dismissed was in fact the path I finally stopped being an idiot. Very nicely done.

D'oh! OTC.
I saw the pattern... but didn't quite make the connection, even though I'd tried pretty much exactly what the nudges say to do.

OTC on Halloween, before the nudges (which are hilarious BTW).

Beamed up due to a nice nudge from Dr Tom. I had misprinted one of the answers in the grid which totally threw me off. What a great puzzle. Thanks so much Clark and hope to see more of you.

I haven't solved the meta yet, but it sure is nice to visit Linux Habitation again.

Guess you haven't spent enough time in Linux Habitation. Didn't look at the nudges til after I'd solved, but they make perfect sense to me.
And I
loved the intro! Still giggling about "Goto hell".
