A collection of codes that I made, which I also consider are worth making public.

Based on Simon Hewitt's glitch script, I've created an effect that simulates transmission glitch. Demos:

• At CTF 365
• At this page

A tool to parse the dumped text files from geonames.org and insert it into a SQLite3 database file.

This tool only cares about Continents, Countries and Administration Levels 1 to 4 (regions, cities and other sub-divisions). Other objectives are not of interest. The main purpose is to create a DB that can be used for a user-location signup form.

To run it you can run it with: python create_locations_db.py and it will run with defaults. Two parameters are given :

• --out or -o - the output file name for the SQLite3 DB; default is locations.sqlite3
• --tmp-dir or -t - the temp dir where to work; default is '.' (current directory)
