once upon a midnight dreary
while I wandered, weak and weary
to a quaint and curious icebox door

for your breakfast, I am sure
forgive me please, I do implore

got face picking up and running in my modeling tool again~
tomorrow I'll look at getting face box selection working! it's quite a lot harder to get that one right, but I think I can just hijack my edge box selection code and convert it to connected faces, which should cover the majority of cases

looking for something that can do at least 5 bays, and ideally that can be set up to do iSCSI or whatever with decent perf
