Hold your souls tightly, for today, we pierce the veil into the great beyond. We shall examine existential questions and commune with spirits. We shall learn what eternity holds for us all.

First, we must bring ourselves to the edge of death, into a liminal state where time does not pass, where the conscious mind takes a back-seat to the spiritual realm. Mark found this C# code to do the job:

    if (Thread.CurrentThread.ThreadState != ThreadState.Running)
        return false;

Are we alive? Are we dead? What is this darkness? Where are we? Surely, we must now find our path. Many languages, like Python, have useful libraries to help us parse out and understand the structure of our path. Chris sent us this code, which eschews the well traveled os.path library, and reinvents that wheel:

    samp = file[file.find('intFiles')+9:].split("/")[0]
    fName = file.split("/")[-1]

This code pulls off the portion of the path that occurs after intFiles, and splits off the last portion, which we hope is a filename. Now, with that filename, the collective sin on our souls must be weighed, and our eternal reward- or punishment- will be delivered.

Brandon knows what the afterlife holds for us all… welcome to hell:
