Punctuation: who cares?

Punctuation is a bikeshed. Put your semicolons, whitespace, and commas where you like them.

OUTDATED

It now lives here.

Premise

Take command of a Stellar Naval Vessel (SNV) in a universe with physics from the CoDominium universe. Manage navigation, weapons, science, and more as you lead your crew on various missions ranging from military engagements to interstellar diplomacy to scientific exploration. Earn your place in the admiralty and take on larger missions, eventually controlling armadas and fleets at a galactic level.

Meatspaces Chat Scraper

This is a quick scraper I threw together for Meatspaces Chat. The database is likely the least efficient way of doing it, but that's what pull requests are for. You need python-mysqldb (in the debian repos under that name, here's the official page) and socketIO-client (install with pip/easy_install: sudo pip install socketIO-client). Fill in the save path to the place you want the images saved and the database credentials.

Sorry, RSA, I'm just not buying it

I want to be extremely clear about three things. First, this is my personal opinion – insert full standard disclaimer. Second, this is not a condemnation of everyone at RSA, present and past. I assume most of them are pretty okay, and that the problem is confined to a few specific points in the company. However, “unknown problem people making major decisions at RSA” is a bit unwieldy, so I will just say RSA. Third, I'm not calling for a total boycott on RSA. I work almost literally across the street from them and I don’t want to get beat up by roving gangs of cryptographers at the local Chipotle.

RSA's denial published last night is utter codswallop that denies pretty much everything in the world except the actual allegations put forth by Reuters and hinted at for months by [other sources](http://li

PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

-E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
-l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)

	This file remaps the key bindings of a single user on Mac OS X 10.5 to more
	closely match default behavior on Windows systems. This makes the Command key
	behave like Windows Control key. To use Control instead of Command, either swap
	Control and Command in Apple->System Preferences->Keyboard->Modifier Keys...
	or replace @ with ^ in this file.

	Here is a rough cheatsheet for syntax.
