Notes

• To figure out the random socket.io listening port used to communicate with the CNCjs server, select View in browser from the View menu
• If running on the same machine as the server, the secret key will automatically be extracted from the .cncrc file (why is this not .cncjsrc?!?)
• --list will list the local serial ports, not the server's serial ports. WTF.
