What's everyone working on this month? (September 2016)

[PystCat]

I've been working on an interface that creates specialized calendars that contain Stock Exchange holidays to connect tow rather large Oracle database that handles millions of transactions a day. 

On a different note, I love the subtle reference to ST:TNG with Picard held captive by a Cardassian Gul.

It turns out LCB code (and LiveCode script) is actually very difficult to highlight well without compiler support because of LiveCode's English-like syntax, but lcb-mode does the job adequately for the time being
