As we discussed I have organized my pre-existing tools git-repo into
per-user subdirectory and shared them at [1].

In the fashion of this mails "storytelling" the README.md [3] serves as an
entry point to more easily discover what some of those tools might be about.

It is a start and let's grow from here ...
All members of ubuntu-server Team [2] have commit access there, so please
feel free to add your own ugly and broken scripts just as I did with mine
:-)
