A SHIP DOCKS AT MAGNIMAR HARBOR ON A GLOOMY NIGHT.
An opening to the Pathfinder Serpent’s Skull Adventure Path
It was a gloomy night when a dark figure boarded a merchant vessel named the Jenivere. Time was of the essence, and Asuck needed to get out of Magnimar . Weeks have passed since that night, and Asuck has kept his secret close.
The ships crew completed their work diligently, and didn’t spend much time speaking with the passengers of the Jenivere. Only eight passengers booked passage on this years trade route from Magnimar to the capital city of Eleder . Eight passengers still added coin to pouch, along with a decent supply of trade good thought Captain Alizandru Kovack’s .

On a side note I found the Pathfinder RPG via Message board idea kind of niffty:

PANDEMIC AND SAMUEL ADAMS
Just got our copy of Pandemic in the mail, couldn’t pass up on this great deal.
The wife has been really excited about this one, opened up the box and poured a beer.
We just glanced over the rule book until the wife’s finals are over, but excited to see if we can save humanity, or die horribly!
PREDICTABLE RANDOM NUMBERS
Well that title is odd, right?
What I’m wanting to do here is demonstrate one way to generate random numbers using a seed . The requirement here is we need to test a number at any given time, this will be useful if we intend to use the process as a token of sort, think RSA SecureID .
Anyways I wanted to make a implementation that used Python and didn’t cost me hundreds of dollars.
PYTHON CHROOT AND EXIT CHROOT
I know this has been written a few time online, but the last time I needed to read up on it, it took a little long to find the answer.
What I wanted to do was to chroot in to a new root, then exit that chroot via python .
Below we have my current working directory that is /root , take a look at what we have in the directory:
In [1]: import os
In [2]: os.system('pwd')
/root
Out[2]: 0
In [3]: os.system('ls -l /root')
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 5 15:47 filesystems
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 5 15:01 iso
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 5 15:14 squashfs
Out[3]: 0
I’m then going to keep track of my current root, this part is very important:
