Fidonews has enjoyed a rebirth of sorts with a new Editor, and a new
Moderator. Gary Perkins has stepped up, graciously agreeing to take
on the position, knowing that he probably wouldn't be the most
popular kid on the block to some folks in Zones 2 or 3.
The NAB has made all participants in the Fidonews echo from Zones
other than 1, temorarily read-only. The NAB has stopped
distributing Bjorn Felten's version of Fidonews, as well.
The North American Backbone made the decision to temporarily stop
importing traffic from all other zones into the Fidonews echo,
except for Zone 1 for number of reasons.
This is from the note that the NAB posted in the Fidonews echo:
"Since assuming the editorship, the status of being the Fidonews
editor has turned out to be more important to Mr Felten than the
actual product itself. Mr Felten has converted the actual status of
being the Fidonews editor into a soapbox to preach his *personal
political* discomforts with the USA, ranging from its society,
Government, foreign and domestic policy decisions made past and
present. At every turn he was casting out insults towards the USA,
to which he thinks are criticisms, but were ad naseum quips that
constantly conveyed the same old political distaste that Mr Felten
feels towards the USA and towards others who disagree with him. It
was not enough for Mr Felten to repeat the same dislike over and
over again as if each time he spoke it, was the first. When told of
this, Mr Felten would deny and then demand proof. Recent examples
of proof are met with exclamations of having a thin skins."
"Over the course of years, there has been alot of back and forth,
action and reaction, others call it tit for tat. There are no
totally innocent or totally guilty parties."
"In the beginnings of Fidonet there was alot of weight being thrown
around by then Zone One against the then smaller Zones 2 thru 6,
since the mathmatics has changed and Zone One is one of the smaller
Zones, and Zone 2 the largest, some personalities have decided that
its time for Zone 2 to exact revenge."
"As previously mentioned, Mr Felten enjoyed the status of being the
editor without expending much effort in doing the job of the editor,
the vast majority of issues published by Mr Felten are empty shells
devoid of content, just boilerplate, masthead etc."
"It is regretful that this action becomes necessary for it will
reinforce the cross zonal differences for those who have chosen to
harbor them."
"Anyone wishing read/write access to the echo should contact their
Z1 uplink at 1:123/500, 1:261/38, or 1:140/1, with their request
directly."
Since taking this action, the NAB has been accused of "poisoning"
Fidonet, but those who say things like this have generally been in
the position of spitting out negative comments regarding the U.S.A.,
and Canada to start with.
Quite simply, the NAB decided that there was no reason we had to
import traffic that was so damaging to Fidonet as we'd seen in the
Fidonews echo, and there was no reason to be passing around a
version of Fidonews that was consistently devoid of content.
Sadly, some people have left fidonet this week: Sean Dennis,
long time sysop of Paragon BBS, and maintainer of Cheepware doors
essentially decided to leave us. We'll miss you Sean!

The Old School Toolbox
By Richard Webb, 1:116/901
The big picture: Backup planning is contingency planning
Many thought about some sort of backup of data even before it was
all stored electronically. I'll bet you or someone you know stored
copies of important papers in a safe deposit box at the bank, or
copies of still others in a container in the chest freezer along
with a side of beef or the deer shot last hunting season. Maybe
you had one of those "fireproof" metal boxes sold for the purpose
somewhere around your home or office. It's always been with us to
some degree. Then there are our institutions of higher learning
and governments with their vast archives of data that need tending.
The digital revolution would appear to simplify many parts of these
tasks. We looked at some of those issues in the previous column.
Still, good strategic planning when considering your backup regimen
should be "all hazard" planning. IF you listen to the folks who
talk to you about protecting you and your loved ones from natural
or manmade disasters this little catchphrase "all hazard" seems to
be much in vogue these days. Many of us don't even think about
what our strategy is, we just pick up on what we learn from friends
and associates, or learned in the course of our day to day work.
I'm guilty of this one. Back in my busy hub days, my backup
strategy was to feed the machine a fresh backup tape once a week,
and the backup would be run as part of daily maintenance. What
backup strategies I employed in my day job were either mandated by
the needs of the media, or developed because they fit the work flow
without much thought to anything else.
Now, let me tell you a little tale of a backup strategy developed
on the fly. This was the last day of my adventure marooned on
Hospital Island, New Orleans, 2005. I woke up that morning to a
real emergency helping arrange for a chopper to airlift two
critical patients off our roof that we couldn't adequately care
for. I learned soon after that we were going to be evacuated.
Where we were going I did not know. I knew I'd be able to take
with me what I could personally carry in my backpack.
The computer in the radio room at University hospital New Orleans
which I owned had not been operating since Tuesday when our
generator got flooded and we switched to battery power and small
generators powering essential systems and charging batteries. The
generator which charged my large batteries, and an octopus of
connections to batteries for portable radios, cell phones, etc also
fed the refrigerator used by pharmacy in its new temporary location
across the hall from us as their primary location in the basement
was now completely inundated with flood water. It's our last few
hours at the hospital, and I know that it isn't going to matter if
we charge up all those batteries. I unplugged my two battery
chargers for my portable ham rigs, stowed them in our backpacks,
then disconnected another plug bar full of cell phones charging.
Everybody who had a phone charging there was going to come and get
it soon anyway. Then I disconnected the big 12 volt gel cell which
I was charging, it wasn't going to be needed again.
Neither was the other medusa-like nest of connectors to portable
radio batteries for security that I tended, so it got disconnected
too. Having provided some breathing room for the generator it was
time to plug in my trusty Pentium 133 machine running dos 6.22 and
my braille embosser, because I had a backup plan.
You'll note earlier in this series I stated that I was reminded of
the importance of off site backups during Katrina. Well, one thing
I hadn't overlooked was my big dump of a database to a flat text
file which contained my list of contacts, personal, lots of ham
radio folks, family and friends, and most of my business contacts.
It was there because I did a lot of work in that radio room even
before the storm, and I wanted that information ready to hand
there, so I can't brag about having any foresight in that regard.
I had about 300 sheets of heavy paper suitable for braille
embossing, tractor fed stuff of course. So, I fed the embosser,
fired up the computer, and started the print job from hell going.
Mister embosser does 20 characters per second. It banged away for
quite awhile, and I ended up with this big pile of fanfold on the
floor behind the printer. Rip from the printer, let it fold
naturally, shove it in a backpack. You see, I didn't know if I'd
ever see that computer again. I didn't know anything at all about
the situation at my home in Slidell, Louisiana. Was it still
standing? Had the trees fallen around and on it destroying
everything within? Had water inundated it? I had no information.
I'd asked a couple of hams I heard working on that side of the lake
to find out for me, but nobody had gotten back to me yet with any
information. I could only go on the assumption that my home was
flooded or destroyed, and I'd have no access to the data on my
machines at home.
I figured that just dumping it to a floppy disk might help, *if I
could find another computer eventually, but, wherever I went, there
would be phones. I could always use those phone numbers and
addresses. If the worst happened and I lost every computer I owned
I could always transcribe this information from hardcopy into
another database or even a flat text file when I again acquired
one, but the paper backup, though expensive and heavier than that
.floppy was going to be of potentially much more use. The future
was quite uncertain, and I was already thinking about getting
myself a nice strong highball instead of Mr. Morrison's beer, and
it wasn't even noon yet. But, I knew what I needed to do, and had
already thought about it earlier that week. When evacuation was
imminent I had a plan, and was ready to implement it. That plan
made access to the data its number one priority. Storing that data
digitally sure would have been easier on my back, but accessible
was paramount.
The more important the data we're backing up, the more important it
is that we think about a lot more than just the software we use to
store it, and the media we choose to hold it. That braille printer
was supposed to be moving home soon, but since it was at that
hospital I made my contingency plan early in the week, and as soon
as I knew that I could get some generator capacity without really
robbing the overall operation I implemented it, and you have to
admit, hardcopy is as old school as it gets.
That hardcopy is good stuff, readable anywhere, but all those
papers, photo albums and the like are sure bulky. Picture your
kids or grandkids going through your stuff after you're gone,
trying to figure out what to keep, what to feed the dumpster. A
lot of stuff that might be interesting or useful in the future
might find its way to that dumpster. This is where our new digital
world can really give us a boost, if we can just get past the big
question of reliability and the other thorny issue of
obscelescence. But, don't forget that paper altogether. You might
still need it. Be sure to capture that important information as
hardcopy every once in awhile, and implement a strategy which plans
for printing out a new copy every so often when performing backups.
One thing I've learned in this process is to indicate the date on
these printouts so I know which version I've got, and can easily
ascertain which ones can be discarded. After all, I've contact
lists, radio frequency lists, all sorts of good info.
More next time.

INFO:
Fidogazette is published by Janis Kracht, Editor, with the help of
Richard Webb 1:116/901 (Old School ToolBox). If you have an idea
for a column or a series of articles, please contact me :)
New!
MailingList subsriptions via
www.filegate.net // lists / ?p=subscribe
but of course you can always link into your uplink and use
Tick or a tick compatible program.
Where to Send Your Articles
Unlike most editors, I surely do not mind running my mouth when
there is a sparcity of articles for the 'zine. I'd MUCH rather
you sent in material... lacking that, I will fill these issues
with my meanderings and thoughts and hopefully we will grow into
something of consequence here :)
Write an article!
If you WOULD like to submit an article, feel free to drop
your article off at:
Email attach to address: janis @ filegate.net
Fidonet attach: Janis Kracht at 1:261/38 Modem: 607-655-5652
1:261/100 filegate.net port 24555 via binkp or telnet mailer
(If you are using routed fidonet mail, don't send articles as routed
attaches. They will fail somewhere along the path before getting here.
Send them instead direct to filegate.net).
Standard binkp port only supports BinkP (24554).
Give it a title, sign your name and network address if you have
one and send it along!
Don't worry about the format, I can take anything you send me
and mutilate it further as you can see above. Linux is nice
that way (g). Spell checking your own work will help though
(something I'm typically guilty of (g)).
To send reviews or recipes to the Food section, email or netmail Janis
as above.
Email address for submissions to Dr.Debug:
To send a question to Dr. Debug, email a question to:
drdebug @ filegate.net
or post in the fidogazette echo! :)
To send a listing to the FidoGazette bbslist, email your
listing to:
bbslist @ filegate.net
or post it in the fidogazette echo!
