Talk about nonsense :)
There was a sort of interesting discussion in a private echo
regarding just how 'fidonet' _is_ and _should be_ capitalized
recently.
The question being:
Should it be "FidoNet", or "Fidonet"?
Anyone game for a pin and some angels here? ...And why would you
get riled or bothered if "FidoNet" was used instead of
"Fidonet"?
If you go back to "original documents", like policy4.07, it's an
very uneven split of 92 'FidoNet' entries, and 3 "Fidonet"
entries.
If you look at the FTSC charter, it is split again:
/pub/ftsc$ grep -wc FidoNet FTA-1004.005
16
/pub/ftsc$ grep -wc Fidonet FTA-1004.005
13
ooh.. looks like the darn "FidoNet" people were better typists,
or just meant to call us "FidoNet", not Fidonet :)
What other essentially quasi-legal documents do we have?
Certainly the body of the entire FTSC library of files if
someone wants to come up with simple grep script to find the
instances..
or that _other_ document that Zone 1 threw away long ago:
Echopol
waitaminit...
Here is a document that Zone 2 has _digested_ (while we
tossed it OUT) and it does live on in some echos I suppose,
though not successfully here (read it and weep if you care to

The Old School Toolbox
By Richard Webb, 1:116/901
Connecting the wetware Part III
Within all these discussions of the strengths, and weaknesses of
Fidonet and all that goes along with them we should remember that
Fidonet's founding father was a man who believed strongly in self
determination and liberty. Not just was he a pretty sharp software
guy, but he was also a student of history, and all the others ways
man relates to his fellows. His experiences and beliefs shaped the
early Fidonet in many ways. In these next two installments I'll
keep the focus on them. If you'll recall, last time we were
discussing the many ways Fidonet can circumvent attempts to control
the flow of information by totalitarian governments. We'll
continue to look at this topic this time, then we'll drill down to
those founding principles and how they shaped the policy under
which we operate. Then we'll look at how we might wish to change
that policy to reflect conditions as they truly are in today's
Fidonet.
Fidonet's electronic forerunner in the fight for freedom and
liberty was radio. With a little bit of technical know-how
anybody, and I mean just anybody can throw up a hunk of wire in
some trees and put a transmitter on the air, and get the word out.
Forget licensing and all that for the moment. Clandestine
broadcasters have been aiding and abetting revolutions and
insurgencies for over half a century now. With modern equipment
it's so mobile that about the time the authorities get a fix on the
transmitter they pack it all up, throw it in the trunk of a car,
roll on somewhere else, half an hour after they arrive at their
next location they're back on the air! Still, radio requires some
advance planning, some forethought. if you're going to run the
risks associated with your clandestine broadcasting you'd better
have a plan so as to keep broadcasting, and getting the word out.
If you don't, your activities will be curtailed quite soon, and you
might face heavy fines, imprisonment, or even death.
Even though the governments can coopt the corporations that
maintain our internet connections in the interest of suppressing
freedom it's harder to totally shut down the regular public
switched telephone network. After all, public safety depends on the
viability of that network. As long as you've a working telephone
and can dial out, you've got a connection with somebody else.
You can't stop radio waves, but you can sure stop internet dead in
its tracks. Pull the big switch on a couple of key systems, and
"goodnight gracie." Traffic stops dead, there's no conduit
available. The Chinese government demonstrates that it can be done.
Like terrestrial radio, Fidonet over pstn is dirt simple to
implement, even if all you've got is an old coco 2 and a 1200 baud
modem. It's harder to listen in on those compressed packets
traveling on the phone line from your modem, but to get the word to
the good folks outside by radio you've got to use the human voice,
and a language the folks outside will understand. Beyond that,
even though modern radio transmitters are simpler to deploy there's
still a bit of technical know-how required. The authorities will
be quick to deploy radio direction finding techniques to zero in on
your transmitter's location, so you'd better be prepared to take it
all down and move it within an hour or two, or you'll soon be
without the capability to communicate. But, even if they shut down
your modem the guy across town with one can dial up a connection,
and information still flows.
I'd be missing a crucial point here if I didn't mention the first
form of electrical/electronic communication, the telegraph. Even
then there were folks understood the concept of choke points. As
one French official put it, the telegraph met those who would cut
off communication only with a span of wire which could easily be
cut in a few places. He argued that the French signal towers
guarded by men with guns and located on high ground were much more
secure. I don't consider the telegraph beyond this point much in
a discussion of enhancing freedom and liberty however, because your
communication wasn't direct. You had to write out your message and
pass it to the telegrapher who would send it in Morse code to
others for relay to its destination, and it was essentially the
only game in town. Yes, you could encrypt your message some sort
of way, but it was still a simple matter to deny you communication
if that was desirable. That French official was right about one
thing, the telegraph was a major choke point.
Freedom and liberty can only exist as long as folks have
communication options. If anybody thinks the despots won't learn to
get control of the technology before their next holocaust or
Tianmen square they're sadly mistaken. Our fully coupled nodelist,
and variety of connection options assure us that we have a way to
get the word to those we wish to reach. Less fear involved too,
after all, setting up that clandestine radio station is fraught
with dangers. There is the risk of heavy monetary forfeitures and
possible jail time. But, as long as you can communicate with
*somebody* in the Fidonet system you can get the word out. Hey you
never knew you could be part of the revolution if things get real
bad I'll bet! You don't even have to leave your chair, and the
risks are actually quite low. All you need do is have the
capability to utilize those alternate connection methods when the
Internet goes dark. Even if you're not real sure that you might
need to put your revolutionary hat on I've described in past
columns in this publication reasons you might want to explore these
options.
I've already discussed all the ways that our early Fidonet pioneers
provided a robust versatile network which can serve us well into
the future in this column. Next time I'll talk about what we need
to do today so that their vision of the network survives into the
future. We'll even damp down the fire and brimstone just a bit.

E-Ministries

- e-Ministries -
- by Jon Justvig -
- February 24, 2012 -
-------------------------
Issue #: 11
And now we are in the act of chapter 6 of the King James Version.
(KJV) Gen 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on
the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto
them,
(KJV) Gen 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that
they were fair; and they took them wives of all
which they chose.
(KJV) Gen 6:3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive
with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days
shall be an hundred and twenty years.
What has happened now, that we see in our current lives, is the
maximum length of time a man will be able to live on earth. One-
hundred and twenty years. And that my friends, is very rare, but
if you do watch the news where you live, you might see someone 90+
on TV celebrating their birthday, or even at your very own home. I
bet you would like to throw a party for them as they have endured
life and everything that has been thrown at them since birth.
In my eyes, elderly people are very special and to be treated fair.
So, wherever you are, put your hand up and let them know you care.
(KJV) Gen 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and
also after that, when the sons of God came in unto
the daughters of men, and they bare children to
them, the same became mighty men which were of old,
men of renown.
There were giants back then, do you think living to be hundreds
and hundreds years old, do you honestly think that growing wider
and taller was going to stop before they reached the age of say,
twenty? I think not. These giants lived a long life.
(KJV) Gen 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in
the earth, and that every imagination of the
thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
(KJV) Gen 6:6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the
earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
(KJV) Gen 6:7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have
created from the face of the earth; both man, and
beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the
air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
(KJV) Gen 6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
God saw wickedness then just as he sees it today. I would
encourage everyone, if given a choice to take a path, a path that
might be narrow, that is less traveled but guarenteed for ever
salvation. It's easy to take the broad road that the majority and
even more people take today.
You may wonder...what road do I take? ...how do I get there...
What must you do. Picture two mountains. You are on one, and
your destination is on the other side. Your only option is to
cross to the other mountain is by a bridge. There is a bridge
there that you haven't seen. You've had someone come up and talk
to you about the Lord and were asked if you would like salvation.
The meaning, to be saved by Christ. But, you weren't sure how or
it just wasn't in your heart at the time. So you begin to put
your hands together, close your eyes and asking God how can I get
off this mountain, there's so much wickedness here, I want to be
with you. So, you have a warm feeling and you ask God to wash your
sins and naturally, you repent your wicked ways. You ask the Lord
Jesus into your life to mold you like clay...into a beautiful vase
of any color you choose. Suddenly, you see a bridge to appear.
So what do you do, you go over there and try to cross it. But,
you've forgotten one thing, you need to keep praying and turning
from your disobedience towards God. This bridge will never fail.
Once you're on it, you're on it for good and the end of it is
the Almighty God standing there with his son Jesus waiting for you
to come see him.
It's that easy folks, just pray to the Lord, put all your troubles
and worries on him and he'll take away the part in your body that
feels empty. If you haven't already asked the Lord into your life
I suggest you do it now. I suggest you close your eyes, put your
hands together and ask the Lord Jesus into your life. He hears
what's in your heart. He know every neuron in your brain, the
precise count of every sand pebble on the Earth even before you
were born. Come follow Him today, would you? It's hard to break
habits and it's a lot more challenging to start new ones. He
isn't expecting you to change overnight, but His eyes in your
Heart, you have changed and he'll do the rest if you just love
Him, read the Bible, speak His word, spead the Word to other
people.
This wraps it up for this week. I hope you've enjoyed reading as
I've enjoy sharing a little bit with you. Be good and let God
take care of you!
If you've enjoyed our meeting, remember to ask your SysOp to carry
MINISTER, an echo with FidoNet if he/she doesn't already. Remember
also to keep your head up high. May God bless you and keep you!
*** This conclude this issue of e-Ministries provided by Jon
Justvig.

1/4 cup plus 3 tsp. sugar
2 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of salt
Mix the almond flour with the sugar. In a separate bowl, whip
the egg whites until soft peaks form. Stir the egg whites into
the almond flour mixture, along with the vanilla extract and
pinch of salt.
Drop by tablespoons onto the prepared tins. Back at 300F for
20-25 minutes, or until just starting to brown.

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!
