Yesterday I thought I sorted out the problem with assembling complete responses from packets, but that was quickly disproved by weird errors showing up only in certain situations, but in those situations always.
Packets
There was this one problem I just couldn’t tackle until now while coding my KC helper app: packets kept getting messed up. The whole design is based on opening a general-purpose socket with Python, and listening to all traffic to and from the KC game server. I based my code on a sniffer script I found on the net, tweaking it to my needs.
Drivebuntu
The other day I wrote about how much trouble Microsoft has with branding, inspired by their last blunder with SkyOne Drive. But the other day as I was looking around in my system (running Ubuntu), I realized that MS might’ve just made the matters worse by picking the name One Drive.

That last KanColle update
So apparently a bunch of anons are throwing fits about how they now have to re-VPN into Japan to renew their tokens for KanColle… It’s due to this week’s update that rolled out a system that requires that the JS on the DMM site renews the API token every set number of requests (“ticks”).
Of course the shitstorm (or even hurricane) was imminent when anons realized they can’t use their API keys forever anymore. Especially when some smartass pointed out that this update happened just two weeks after /a/’s favorite target of hate, Commie published their unofficial translation patch for the client. Let me quote: “Even the chinese are blaming commie, this is a international thing now.”[src]
The failure of Microsoft
Just earlier someone linked the news from Verge that MS was forced to rename SkyDrive due to trademark problems with the British Sky media brand. This could only be better if they were also sued by Google over the “drive” word (cf Google Drive).
外国人参政権
憲法九三条二項は、我が国に在留する外国人に対して地方公共団体における選挙の権利を保障したものとはいえないが、憲法第八章の地方自治に関する規定は、民主主義社会における地方自治の重要性に鑑み、住民の日常生活に密接な関連を有する公共的事務は、その地方の住民の意思に基づきその区域の地方公共団体が処理するという政治形態を憲法上の制度として保障しようとする趣旨に出たものと解されるから、我が国に在留する外国人のうちでも永住者等であってその居住する区域の地方公共団体と特段に緊密な関係を持つに至ったと認められるものについて、その意思を日常生活に密接な関連を有する地方公共団体の公共的事務の処理に反映させるべく、法律をもって、地方公共団体の長、その議会の議員等に対する選挙権を付与する措置を講ずることは、憲法上禁止されているものではないと解するのが相当である。

GTK3 red to green progress bar in Python
I really needed a progress bar that changes from red to green as it progresses. Well, I made one. Though it doesn’t support labels as the built-in GTK ProgressBar, one can easily be added next to the bar, or (if it’s static) in a tooltip. Also, not removing self.bar would result in an actual red-to-green gradient, instead of a color-changing bar. (Though it should still be removed when the bar is reset.)
