+== Extend OMF EC (Optional) ==
+
+You may optionally make some changes to the OMF experiment controller to allow users to archive their last experiment by running {{{iarchive}}} with no arguments.
+
+In {{{/usr/share/omf-expctl-5.3/omf-expctl/experiment.rb}}} add this line in the Experiment class: 
+
+{{{
+  @@user = %x(whoami).downcase.chomp
+}}}
+
+and modify the Experiment.ID function as follows:
+
+{{{
+  #
+  # Return the ID of this Experiment
+  #
+  # [Return] the experiment's ID (String)
+  #
+  def Experiment.ID
+    ts = DateTime.now.strftime("%Ft%T%Z").gsub(':','.')
+    if (@@expID == nil)
+      # since we use the exp ID as the pubsub user name
+      # we need to get rid of ":" and uppercase characters
+      ts = DateTime.now.strftime("%Ft%T%Z").gsub(':','.')
+      @@expID = "#{@@user}-#{@@sliceID}-#{ts}"
+      #YTraceState.experiment(:id, @@expID)
+    end
+ 
+    File.open(ENV['HOME']+'/.omf-expctl', 'w') do |f2|
+      f2.puts "EXP_ID=#{@@expID}"
+      f2.puts "SLICE=#{@@sliceID}"
+      f2.puts "OMF_USER=#{@@user}"
+      f2.puts "OMF_DATE=#{ts}"
+      f2.close
+    end
+ 
+    return @@expID
+  end
+}}}
+
+
+Now ever time a user runs an experiment, the EC will create a sourceable file called ".omf-expctl" in the user's home directory. It will look something like this: 
+
+{{{
+EXP_ID=ffund-default_slice-2012-11-06t22.31.47-05.00
+SLICE=default_slice
+EXP_USER=ffund
+EXP_DATE=2012-11-06t22.31.53-05.00
+}}}
