In her Blog DANA says:
.....
The Sleeping Princess uses Aunt Margaret's email account and error pages to share secrets and play games with us. She also likes to hide text in images. We're not sure where she came from.
.....
It's possible that if we give commands to the princess from the emal
'ladybee777@hotmail.com' subject 'A message for the Sleeping Princess'
we can have new information on the game we are playing

in the http://www.ilovebees.com/yellowbrickroad.html page

we can have all the example to input!

Why not try to get the Flea to reveal the truth to us?

There doesn't seem to be enough consistency in the syntax for this to be any sort of useful language to communicate in.

I coulda sworn that somebody, somewhere, posted a list of all the commands in Arachnid (which I hereby dub the programming language used by the Spider and Flea), and what they appear to do.

I thought it was on the Wiki, but I just searched the site map, and I couldn't find it.

Phooey.

Way back in Phase 1, the wiki did have a breakdown of the Spiders commands and how they matched up with the Princess/Widow/Queen story. The one with the command breakdown is here, unfortunately all the formatting is screwed up since the wiki was migrated.

So, here's my reproduction of the list:

catherwood made this post with an attached doc. outlining many of the commands (good explanations in the posts before mine, too!):

Nice - [SPEC] wouldn't it be cool if eventually we somehow were given an interface to give commands to Melissa...? Maybe eventually we'll have to ask the SP to sacrifice herself to the Flea in order to give us access through her to Melissa and give her commands.

[Arden]

[SPEC] Even if it's out-of-bounds to attempt to code/program the site ourselves, isn't it enough that we have a grasp on the way the Flea works? Might it only be the first piece of this particular puzzle? It appears that the Flea is not especially complex: it tries the same basic commands whenever it encounters a program it has to deal with (as in trying to handshake the SP when runs into her [yellow brick road text]). Maybe it's enough right now to have a grasp on what it does, so that when the time comes we can formulate a response. It's obviously not finished what it's doing yet, and there may come a time when we have to react to / prevent it's next move. It's entirely possible that the Flea is "bad" (the SP certainly thinks so) and it may be up to us to do something about it.

I sent a letter to the Sleeping Princess containing the breakdown of the SPDR commands, and I asked her if there's any particular program she would like written.

Maybe she'll respond...

I think whatever commands we may be able to issue will be in the form of a URL, as posted above with some of the example links to the memory archives. (The first linked honeybees, at least.)

Ah what the hell, I'll trout myself, it's late.
