+Well, this was another frustrating day with Pharo. Apparently, the
+OS process abstraction I’m using has a bug on my OS X where it never
+terminates the process. Once again, [I’ve opened an issue](https://github.com/pharo-contributions/OSSubprocess/issues/52).
+The issue description is shorter than I’d usually like, but I don’t
+quite know what’s going on, so I’ll just leave it at that.
+
+Despite this frustration I was able to make it work by adding a tiny
+manual delay—yuck—and then just checking the output of the command.
+It’s parsing the response into a data structure that I’ll be able to
+use in the IDE environment.
+
+My head starts to hurt a little bit so I decided to leave it at that
+for today.
