Richard's Toolbox column delves into something which I've always
felt was important in our hobby.. cooperation. It reminded me
of the beginnings of the FileGate. Cooperation is the basis on
which the IFDC FileGate was 'built' back in 1993/94, and in my
mind, is the reason it continues on after so many years.
One thing I realized once I was involved in file distribution is
that if you don't have the cooperation of everyone involved, not
only can chaos result, but that chaos can also quickly devolve
into dangerous or risky situations on many people's personal
systems.
For example... if one system in the pile of FileGate HUBs
doesn't test the files he distributes for virus/trojan ware,
that danger can be passed up and down the chain of connected
systems. We needed people to agree to test files before jumping
on the hatch, or file-release, bandwagon.
In our lawsuit-happy society, those who distribute copy-righted
material without permission also put connected systems at
financial risk.. And yes, international law has to be taken
into account with this type of thing. There have been times
when sites and or authors have contacted me as administrator of
the FileGate because permission was never sought for traffic
distributed. In a case like that, the file(s) had to be removed
by hatching blank files in place of the original ones.
One of the things we stressed when working on the FileGate
policy draft was that the cooperation required amongst the
coordinators and HUBs should be a simple thing, since 'we're all
in it for the same reason': To distribute files and get them
into the hands of users and sysops alike. It was so important
to us as we ventured away from the original "filebone", that we
incorporated "cooperation" in the name of our distribution:
The letters "IFDC" stand for "International File Distribution
Cooperative".

The Old School Toolbox
By Richard Webb, 1:116/901
Connecting the Wetware, Part IV
The Fidonet pioneers had some pretty big challenges ahead of them
when you think about it. Their first order of business was to
design a network which could adapt to changes with a minimum of
disruption for the systems already communicating. Any changes that
were needed had to fit into the environment that already existed so
as to enable those systems already using it to keep functioning.
That can be a pretty daunting task right there. Remember that
there were numerous different operating systems with varying
capabilities networked together. This wasn't the monolithic
network architecture such as you might find at the office, where
all the workstations are the same and their interconnection and
management of data is defined. One Fidonet node might be a PC with
floppy drives only, the next a machine with limited memory using a
garden variety cassette tape as its storage medium. Fidonet had to
fit in that environment.
Beyond this, Fidonet was intended to be essentially anarchist in
principle, do what you will, so long as you answer the phone with
the right protocol at the proper time of day. Echomail was still
on the horizon, automated file distribution not even considered.
By the time they got around to Fidonet policy version 4.07 there
was indeed echomail, and the layout of the network was well
defined. Still the framers of policy didn't want to drill down too
deep into the social order. This was both the good news, and the
bad news for our period of explosive growth.
The good news was of course that the framers of p4 wished to
preserve those anarchist principles. Since there are some relative
newcomers to Fidonet among us let's dispel some myths and
misconceptions about them so that we all know what it is that we're
actually discussing when we talk about anarchy in relation to
networks.
Anarchy in its positive sense shares many characteristics with
libertarianism. When most modern folks from western societies
consider anarchy and anarchists at all they're inclined to think of
unruly mobs chucking bricks and homemade incendiary devices through
windows and other such behavior. But, if you were to ever sit down
and converse with most anarchist types you'd find that they have a
strong belief in social justice and a cooperative society. The
major difference is that the anarchist believes that voluntary
cooperation among individuals is far superior to cooperation
coerced by governments and other authority figures. If you were to
converse with them any length of time at all you'd find out that in
many cases they believe in fairness, are not quick to judge others
who deviate from the normal, and are quite willing to judge a
person by his/her actions.
Although folks in the U.S. and much of the developed world think of
ourselves as living in free societies we're still predisposed to
think in terms of rules and regulations. The cop judge or governor
is an authority figure, as is the chairman of the board or the
administrator. If we rent our dwelling our landlord has rules. If
we work for another to earn our living there are certain rules. If
others work for us we have promulgated certain rules and standards
of behavior for our employees. If we participate in certain
organized sporting activities the referee or umpire is an authority
figure, as are the competition judges. Our lives are replete with
rules procedures and standards. We engage in very few activities
on a regular basis that aren't defined by a rulebook. If we play
golf with friends one day a week we know that certain clubs or
balls are frowned upon if used on the links. We know that if we
hunt or fish we cannot hunt or fish in certain places, can only take
certain numbers of our sought after prey. We must drive on the
proper side of the road or street, obey the traffic signs and
signals. If we sing in the church choir we must follow the signals
of the choir director. If we own a home in certain neighborhoods
the homeowners' association dictates what we may place in our
yards, prohibits painting our house certain colors, limits our
placement of privacy hedges and fences; the keeping of certain
animals; , etc. Web forums and internet listservs limit our posts
to certain topics. In most of our daily activities we bump up
against all sorts of arcane rules and procedures that we must
follow.
We are also quick to think in terms of laws an hierarchies in our
daily lives. We are a culture that is quick to say "there ought to
be a law ... " mandating a behavior or prohibiting a behavior or
action we find distasteful. We're even quicker to say "there ought
to be a law ... ' to keep somebody else from doing something, not
to regulate ourselves. It's always the "other guy" that ought to
be prohibited from engaging in this or that activity. The thought
of getting our neighbor's cooperation by self restraint never
enters our minds.
We are conditioned to think in terms of mandates and prohibitions
imposed from without, not cooperative agreements among individuals
to get the result we wish. After all, cooperation is a messy thing
which must be nurtured if you wish to keep it going. Newcomers
have to be educated as to the informal agreement, and then if they
don't wish to be part of said agreement you have a problem. In any
endeavor which governs itself under principles of positive anarchy
you'll find that most of the conventions which appear to be rules
are by mutual agreement, and not codified in any formal rulebook or
document.
Newcomers to such a group can easily misunderstand what's actually
codified in such a rule book or document, and what's a standard of
behavior or procedure only through mutual agreement. It's quite
easy for such a neophyte to make some invalid assumptions based on
his observations. It's far easier to learn as one learns the game
of golf what is forbidden in the organized sport and how to avoid
running afoul of the rulebook, as governing bodies have set such
rules down in documents which can be accessed and read. A friendly
disagreement, or one not so friendly with another player can easily
be resolved by consulting the codified rules. It's much more
difficult when the party you disagree with can't point you to the
relevant text discussing your infraction but just says "because we
don't do it that way."
So, the good news is that the framers of p4 left these principles
pretty much intact, but that then brings us to the bad news, and
we'll save that for next time.

Italian Meatballs
by Janis Kracht, 1:261/38, janis@filegate.net
Italian meatballs make the best sandwiches - warmed up as
leftovers, or served at a party or get-together, they usually
disappear much too quickly. This recipe can be doubled easily.
One recipe as below will make about 10 meatballs.
The secret to a perfect meatball is the inclusion of ground pork
in the mix. If I have to, I'll even use a few sweet Italian
sausage links removed from their casing, instead of unseasoned
ground pork.
This recipe is my mom's. This weekend is her funeral so I dedicate
this section to her memory.
Polpetto - Italian Meatballs
about 10 meatballs
3/4 pound ground beef (chuck or round, but please use grass-fed
beef for the best flavor and texture)
1/4 pound ground pork
1 cup Italian flavored bread crumbs
1 slice Italian bread, dipped in water, and then squeezed to
remove excess water.
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup freshly grated locatelli romano cheese
1 egg
Olive oil to cover skillet 1/2" for frying.
Mix ground beef, ground pork and other ingredients with your
hands until combined well. Shape into balls about 1 1/2 inches
wide. The best way to do this is to make a cup with your hands,
and to roll the meat tightly into balls.
Cover bottom of skillet with 1/2" of olive oil. Cook the
meatballs over medium-high heat until well browned on all sides.
Either turn frequently, or move pan back and forth sharply but
slowly to cause meatballs to roll by themselves. If you move
the frying pan sharply back and forth to turn them, be careful
you don't spill oil as you are frying.
If you don't brown the meatballs enough, the meatballs will fall
apart in your tomato sauce, so brown them until they are a deep
golden brown. Drain the meatballs after browning on a plate
covered with a paper towel.
The meatballs may be added to tomato sauce and simmered for 20
minutes after browning.
Mom's Tomato Meat Sauce
This is her recipe for tomato sauce, a basic one which can be
used to simmer meatballs. If you add other meats like pork butt
with bone or ribs, end cuts, and beef shoulder or chuck roast,
you have mom's Bolongnaise meat sauce for the holidays, or weekend
dinner for a crowd. For that Bolongnaise, with added meats, you'd
probably want to double the tomatoes used below.
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup olive oil
2 large cans (2-pounds 3-ounces) Italian whole tomatoes, or
3 bottles Bionaturae Tomatoes (24 oz. each).
6oz Italian tomato paste
1 lb. Sweet Italian Sausage, browned
1 recipe meatballs (above)
salt
pepper
red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon dry basil
1 tablespoon dry oregano
1/4 cup dry red wine
Brown the sausage in a frying pan and reserve.
Make the meatballs above.
Heat olive oil in large pot or saucepan. I often use a dutch
oven or deep cast-iron pot for this. Saute garlic until yellow
and tender. Put the tomatoes in a blender for a moment to break
up whole tomatoes. Add the tomatoes to the pot, add salt and
pepper to taste, oregano and basil leaf. Add the reserved
sausage, and meatballs. Simmer for about 2-3 hours over very
low heat stirring gently, but often. When stirring sauce with
meatballs in it, it's important to stir gently.. Check the
flavor of the sauce, sometimes meatballs absorb all the salt in
the sauce, so you may need to correct the seasoning. Add 1/3
cup dry red wine and simmer for 10 more minutes.

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!
