AKA stalk your friends on Tumblr. Something about my implementation on the master branch (in node.js) broke intermittently, so I tore the whole thing down and rewrote it in Python (are you noticing a theme this break?). I’ve got an in-CLI version that just dumps URLS on the python branch, or a downloader version (which […]

I couldn’t sleep tonight, so I built a little toy that interfaces with Facebook’s TTS system for generating speech. The interface connects to both the standard pronunciation system, and the ‘echo’ system, which uses a custom implementation of IPA to generate speech from precoded phonemes. I’ve written more about both types, as well as included […]

I troubleshoot a lot of systems that are designed to send emails, usually expecting a SMTP server to send from. However, I dislike using my personal email credentials (usually the only ones I have on hand) and setting up a local mail server or a mail server snippet isn’t always practical – so I wrote […]

FALL QUARTER IS DONE. Man, that feels good. I’ve been pretty busy with school stuff but still put off homework find enough time to work on some personal projects. Recently, I’ve been putting most of my work into the SupTracked UI and API, a system for tracking and analyzing my nootropic consumptions. The API is all nice […]

I got inspired by a reddit post, and wrote a philosophical counterpart: whyami. Now you can get the meaning of life according to various philosophies, right on your command line.

I’ve just gotten all my identities loaded into Keybase, a fantastic identity clearinghouse. Check it out for my PGP key, GitHub verification (and by extension, my SSH keys at https://github.com/jkingsman.keys), and more. I am Jack Kingsman on Keybase.io.

TL;DR: Make sure your GitHub organization is secure by checking that your org’s users have a sufficiently large key bittages and types (including elliptic) using this tool I wrote. It wasn’t long ago that Ben Cox’s fantastic blog post revealed the potential threats from weak SSH keys installed on GitHub user profiles (and GitHub now disallows the […]

I’m proud to announce my very first module released on NPM! This module parses and extracts info from OpenSSH authorized_keys format public keys. It’s simple, minimal, but functional, and plays a key role in an upcoming utility I’ll be releasing the next few days for GitHub Organization security auditing.
