I like to know how much incremental disk space I'm using so I have a series of scripts that tell me the files which have been deleted/added and outputs to get the sum (yes, I know there are better ways). The impetus for checking disk usage is a tale in IT stupidity which I don't talk about! But now I use the script for other purposes as well such as verifying that my mirror has the same deltas without doing a full compare. I hope I haven't disappointed you with my usage :-)

I really should rewrite this but it was written many years ago and grew into something more than I originally intended. Plus, it works.

Not at all! My software is built to serve. I'm simply delighted that people have use for it.

I know about one user that uses it for their finances. While that's terrifying for me, it should technically be safe, as long as they don't divide.

And really, your use is an awesome use! And it didn't terrify me.
