Has anyone noticed the largest high-traffic area of all Fidonet echos of late and care to guess why this is the case? Can you say "Attempted Echo Takeover"? :) Somehow I don't think the ploy by "some" in FIDO_SYSOP is working. FIDOGAZETTE Vol 10 No 12 Page 2 March 23, 2016 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================= H U M O R ================================================================= A Somewhat Dated Joke, But Still Worth a Chuckle :) Thanks to Daryl Stout :) The Top Ten Reasons to be a SysOp 1. You secretly enjoy abuse 2. You really have no other life 3. You have all this computer hardware "just laying around" 4. You enjoy throwing your life savings at hobbies 5. You have this "thing" about collecting shareware 6. You got tired of playing all the levels of Wolf3-D 7. You never like to see your children or spouse 8. You hate watching T.V., Fishing, Hunting, and Golf 9. You never plan to play Doom! Or unzip it to "check it out" 10. You can't pay less than five digit phone bills.FIDOGAZETTE Vol 10 No 12 Page 3 March 23, 2016 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================= A R T I C L E S ================================================================= How to produce electronic music with the Raspberry Pi Seth Kenlon https://opensource.com/life/16/3/make-music-raspberry-pi-milkytracker "The world of electronic music has traditionally been a fairly expensive venture, whether you're paying for expensive hardware or software. Luckily, there are plenty of free apps and open source software to enable people to get creative on the devices that they mostly have anyway. But I wanted to see how far the famously inexpensive Raspberry Pi could be pushed as a music-making machine. Turns out, it can be quite an amazing little sequencer, as long as you know what tools to use and aren't afraid to learn a little something new. The setup I wanted to aim as low as possible, so I did all my work on a Raspberry Pi v1 model B. That's an ARM6 processor with 512MB RAM. I do have access to a model A+ (256MB RAM), but it only has one USB port. When I set out to make my Pi into a digital audio studio, I thought I would need one USB port for a mouse and one for a keyboard. As it turns out, I didn't end up needing a mouse, so in the end I did do a little testing on the A+. I'll mention significant differences in performance when applicable." [... See the article for the rest] Shades of my C64? :) :) FIDOGAZETTE Vol 10 No 12 Page 4 March 23, 2016 -----------------------------------------------------------------

If you have an idea for a column or a series of articles, please contact me :) New! Mailing-List subscriptions via http://www.filegate.net/sub.html 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 sparsity 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: 607-200-4076 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!
