=================================================================
Richard Webb continues his Toolbox series in this issue
with discussions of some important ideas he'll be
discussing in coming articles. Thanks for your insightful
articles, Richard!
I have to agree with all the points of his current article
though perhaps another way we bend the "choke points" (as
Richard describes them in his article) is connecting dialup
nodes and internet nodes using routed netmail. Properly
routed, this important facet of Fidonet communication
allows your netmail to make it to otherwise unconnectable
systems.
This week we had some intense discussions in the Z1C echo
regarding some of the 'somewhat' outdated lines contained
in Policy 4... I say somewhat because no matter what
happens to our network, and no matter what happens to
Policy 4, routed mail will always be there.
I've had a few days to think about a statement I made in
the Z1C echo - that I felt we really needed an IC. One of
the reasons I said I thought we do need one is so that
those discussions regarding changing P4 can move forward.
Do we need to can change policy 4? No, I really don't
think that's the case.
I think the document that has served us so well since it
was published and accepted on June 9, 1989, still works for
us today. I don't see it as some may, as an antiquated
document, out of touch with how our network operates. Our
network is about communication, and we do that and improve
our methods with every piece of new bbs software written,
and with every new mailer that is written and/or updated.
Of note to me: So far in my netmail mailbox, and in my
email mailbox the number of nodes in Fidonet who have
contacted me saying, "YES, Please DO contact the ZCC about
electing an IC" have been a grand total of _0_.. zed..
none.
Apathy? Perhaps.. but that to me says the majority of Zone
1 SysOps feel the same way as I do. Feel differently about
this? Now is the time to get moving and let me know.

The Old School Toolbox
By Richard Webb, 1:116/901
Connecting the Wetware
We spend a lot of time in Fidonet agonizing over the protocols we
use, the software that ties it all together, technical standards,
on and on. But, the thing we forget is that Fidonet was designed
primarily to be about linking the wetware.
So what's wetware you ask. Wetware is that stuff between your ears
that gives you hopes, desires, dreams, that enables you to perceive
a beautiful painting, the love of those closest to you, or enables
you to contemplate and comprehend quantum physics. Fidonet was
designed to connect that wetware, through all sorts of adverse
conditions. In fact, in maintaining a variety of connection
schemes, we in Fidonet are taking a stand for freedom and liberty,
because we're about connecting people to people. Are you shaking
your head and wondering if I've been smoking or drinking something
strange? Read on. I'm as sober as I can get, and I'm as serious
as a heart attack!
Consider our nodelist. It's production is decentralized. Consider
Tom Jennings' arguments regarding why it was designed this way when
folks started advocating for a decoupled network. Any node, in
theory, can make contact with any other node in a fully coupled
network. Yeah yeah I know, a pots only can't connect with a binkd
only node unless it's via routed mail. I've touched that subject
before, and will again, but let's essentially lay that
consideration aside for the moment.
Should that binkd only node really desire direct connections with
that pots only node, he can connect up a modem, and even if
somebody decides to cut that pots only from the nodelist the binkd
node can just go back to his last nodelist which had the pots only
listed, hook up his modem, and, we have communication. Remember
when a region in Europe asked others to distribute its net segment
independent of official channels? Oldtimers sure do. Some
remember when region 12 gave a whole net in region 10 refuge from
Bob Kohl. When the zc told them they were forbidden to do this,
they made arrangements for alternate distribution of their segment,
as they produced it, not as the zc produced it. Having no other
choice, the zc backed down.
Contrast that with your internet connections. If you can't access
dns lookup information you can't communicate. If you can't
translate amazon.com to those ip numbers then you're out of luck!
Unlike our nodelist, the capability you have to connect is provided
elsewhere, not local to you. Lose the ability to access that
information, and you can't communicate.
Both volunteers and professionals in the world of emergency
communications often refer to choke points. That dns lookup
facility is a choke point. Your central telephone switching center
is a choke point, as is the cell tower closest to you. Take out
the choke point, deny those who need it communication. Your
emergency responders in your community have their choke points as
well. Those booster systems called repeaters on tall towers which
enable your law enforcers and other responders to communicate with
their portable radios are of course choke points. They understand
this, that's why they're battery backed up for power, and sometimes
even have diesel or gas generators that kick in when mains power is
lost. But, if the tower collapses or the antenna is damaged in the
storm the choke point still chokes off communication, which is why
we call them choke points.
Tom Jennings and the developers of Fidonet understood this concept
very well. Back around a decade ago the concern was the size of
the nodelist. Because of the rapid growth of Fidonet and the size
of the nodelist some argued for decoupling the network. Tom
Jennings and others were quite vocal in opposing this, and stated
their position quite eloquently. The incidents in Europe and in
region 12 I cited above illustrate their wisdom.
Today the size of our nodelist is no longer an issue. The
challenge we face today is that of maintaining a variety of
interconnection schemes which can enable us to maintain
communication. Putting all our connectivity eggs in the internet
basket presents us with a problem of choke points, a problem which
was circumvented by the fully coupled network facilitated by the
distribution of the complete nodelist.
These considerations may be very important to you in the future,
and I'll discuss why in the next issue.

Broiled Barbecue Chicken and Polenta
By Janis Kracht, 1:261/38, janis@filegate.net
Around our home, both Barbecued chicken and Polenta are
comfort foods that everyone enjoys. I buy a whole free
range chicken and cut it up into small serving pieces.
Ingredients:
1 3 1/2 - 4lb. Chicken
Disjoint the chicken, and cut into serving pieces at the
joints, such as legs, thighs, wing drumette, and wing tips.
Cut the breast in half along the breast bone, and then in
half again.
Barbecue sauce:
1 1/2 cups Bionatarae strained bottled tomatoes
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup molasses
5 tablespoons dijon mustard
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 onion minced
1 tsp coarse salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
Combine all the sauce ingredients in a saucepan and bring
to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until thickened and
flavorful, about 25-30 minutes. Separate the barbecue sauce
into two containers, one for brushing the chicken and one
for serving at the table.
Rub the chicken pieces with about two tablespoons olive
oil. Sprinkle the pieces generously with coarse salt and
freshly ground black pepper.
Place the chicken pieces on a broiler pan, skin side down.
Dot with broken pieces of 1 tablespoon butter. Broil for
10 minutes. At the end of the 10 minutes, brush some
barbecue sauce on each piece and then turn each piece over.
Dot the pieces with the other tablespoon of butter. Broil
for 10 minutes. At the end of the 10 minutes, brush more
barbecue sauce on the pieces, and then turn them over.
Broil for 10 more minutes, add more barbecue sauce and
watch so the sauce doesn't blacken unless you like
blackened barbecue chicken - You may have to increase the
time and lower the broiling rack. Total broiling time
30-40 minutes. Serve with reserved additional barbecue
sauce if desired.
Polenta
1 cup cold water
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup yellow corn meal
2 cups boiling water
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 cup butter
In a medium saucepan, mix the cornmeal with 1 cup cold
water and salt. Place on the stove over low heat, and
whisk in the 2 cups boiling water. Continue cooking over
low heat. When the polenta starts to leave the sides of
the pot when stirred, remove from heat. Add the butter and
parmesan cheese and stir until mixed. You can add a touch
of salt and pepper to taste if you like.
Serve Barbecued Chicken with Polenta and a green vegetable,
such as Italian green beans tossed with olive oil and
balsamic vinegar.

INFO:
Fidogazette is published by Janis Kracht, Editor, with the
help of Richard Webb 1:116/901 (Old School ToolBox). If
you have an ideKa 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
Binkp: 1:261/100 filegate.net port 24555
telnet mailer: filegate.net
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.
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!
