+To experiment further I made this script that can get plaintext from
+the pads based on the etherpump magic words.
+
+### usage:
+
+```
+$ python palanggana.py --magic wordhere
+```
+will find the pads where __wordhere__ has been used and get all the lines of
+text from those pads with that __wordhere__ in the line.
+it will get rid of the magic word specified, but if you want to keep the magic
+you can use.
+
+```
+$ python palanggana.py --magic wordhere --keep
