The Izakaya at the End of the Universe

Q: How do we improve a metaphor for eternal transience which attempts to blend the swastika, seasons, and the floating-world ambiance of a high-end Izakaya?
A: Shotguns. Duh.
The world is full of creations which fall short of expectations. I would have liked civilian NPCs and more intelligent AI. I would have liked it to be more Ghost in The Shell. But I chose to spend the time tweaking dimensions and weather effects. Having limitations, like a deadline, focuses us on what elements are important. Were intended elements wasted for never being realised? Better, I think, to wrap then ship, than delay or abandon. Creations - including their missing features - often go beyond our vision, sometimes expose emergent symbolism, and thus exceed our expectations.

Firefox History Statistics - Extracting from Places.sqlite

If you want to take a look at Firefox surfing activity, the about:me add-on is a good start. However, it presents only one view of data and is thus limited in its ability to present more detailed statistics. We will view that data in a different program. So let's first extract it from the browsing history stored in the Places.sqlite file into a CSV file using a Firefox add-on. Step 1 - Locate and copy Places.sqlite to a working location On Windows machines, Places.sqlite is found in a directory similar to: C:\Users\User1\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ .default\places.sqlite Copy the file to another location. The database will be locked while using Firefox, and the SQLite plugin we will use to open it.
