====== Testing acab ======

You don't have access to the matrix gigargoyle could be started with '--pretend' argument. 

  * start the server 
  
   ./gigargoyle -f -p --pidfile=./test.pid --logfile=./test.log

  * start puertoplayer, so you can see the matrix
  
   ./puertoplayer --localhost

  * spool something new with simpleclient
