Wow, that was fast.

My brother is now in Glasgow instead of Singapore, but that's still
geographically redundant.  (Come to think of it, this is even better
-- Vancouver and Singapore could potentially be wiped out by a really
really big tsunami.)

I do intend to bring other people into Tarsnap in due course (for one
thing, I might decide I want a vacation some year) and that would make
it feasible for Tarsnap to outlive me; but Tarsnap needs to grow a bit
more before this will be economically feasible.
