# This crazy logic here is to do the following:
# 
# 1) Move the various notebooks out of the notes/ directory and into the parent, because
# I see not point to the notes/ directory existing.
# 
# 2) In an effort to make things more user-friendly, if this script has been run before,
# simply add an ascending number to the end and try again, instead of having the script bail.
