This isn't a time when voter apathy should be an issue IMO. As Ward stated to me in the Z1C echo, we're also happy to have a good number of volunteers for these positions. Again, I'd like to thank all who are running for these seats as I did in the last issue of Fidonews. These people who document current practice in our network allow our software to be updated. FIDOGAZETTE Vol 5 No 19 Page 2 December 1st, 2011 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================= A R T I C L E S ================================================================= Using Hatch with Replace Janis Kracht, 1:261/38, janis@filegate.net Most of our tic processors let you use the the replace function. This keyword was originally included in Barry Gellar's Tick v2.10, and is generally included in full- functioning tick packages like Allfix, HTick, and others. The idea was that as a new version of a package is released in a Fidonet File distribution, an author or FDN coordinator would want to remove an older version of a package, replacing it with a newer version. Not all FDNs use replace - some FDNs would rather, like the PDN, maintain all copies of software for historical and archival purposes. In this day of cheaper drive space, keeping older files around wouldn't seem to be a problem. In some areas though, replacing a file _is_ important. In areas where Linux packages are released, this is especially important because of security and problems with older libraries. Those really old packages from the 1990's and such may not even compile on today's linux boxes due to incompatibilities of later versions of gcc, and various libraries that are used in the compile process. Generally speaking, you are going to see more packages that need to be compiled in an area that releases linux files; in other words, you generally won't see many binary (executible) pre-compiled programs in a linux area, for example.. so again, the need to hatch with replace becomes obvious. So when I release files in the PDNUNIX file area, I'll usually use replace with those files. Barry Gellar's tick makes hatching with replace an easy thing to do if you've got the REPLACE keyword in your tic.cfg file. On the command line a DOS command like the following would do the trick: HATCH /aSOFTDIST /fFOOV2.ZIP /dThis is the description /xFOOV1.ZIP >> logfile.log BBBS makes it even easier: ./bbbs bhatch -foov1.zip foov2.zip softdist With BBBS, you don't need to specify a log, since your bbbs config takes care of that. Husky tic's docs looks to me like you would use replace it this way: hatch [replace []] [desc ] hatch foo2.zip softdist replace foo1.zip description FIDOGAZETTE Vol 5 No 19 Page 3 December 1st, 2011 ----------------------------------------------------------------- FTSC Election Methods By Janis Kracht, 1:261/38, janis@filegate.net The ftsc election for additonal and returning standing members concludes on Sunday 11th December 20:00 UTC. Hopefully by then all of our RCs and RECs will have voted. Hopefully as well, RCs will have polled the members of their regions so that the feelings of the members of that region are taken into account. As usual, R13C Michael Luko has done so. Thank you Michael! We use a password system in R13, so anononimity is guaranteed when Michael posts the results of our elections. So, for instance a network member can choose any user name and password, and include it in his netmail to Michael if he or she desires: Subj.: FTSC vote ====================== Username: wilecayote Password: acmecorp Node number: mynode number vote: [...] When Michael, or our election coordinator post the results of our elections, you won't see the voting member's name or node number, just his or her username and password, and how they voted. This allows the voting member to check that his vote was recorded correctly. It's my hope that other regions work out some similar method for elections. That way people don't have to worry about repercussions regarding their own taste in elections, and perhaps would be more likely to vote. Some people in the Z1C echo have worried that all RCs and RECs may not take part in this election by casting a vote. With such a simple method such as R13 uses, our voting turnout is generally good. Perhaps the FTSC Chair might consider this method to protect privacy and encourage voting in future elections. Just a thought..

I really wanted severly garlic-ed chicken .. maybe that had to do with two Thanksgiving turkeys in about one week haha.. I _LOVE_ turkey with it's cripy skin, but afer a while you are definitely willing to wait a year to have it again. Whatever the reason, I wanted something seasoned to my taste. YMMV :) 2 1/2 -3lb chicken, disjointed, cut up into serving pieces 1/2 cup butter (1 stick) 6 cloves garlic 1/4 tsp. garlic salt 1/2 tsp. dry lemmon zest or zest from one lemmon 1 Tablespoon lemon juice pepper extra virgin olive oil Place the chicken pieces on a broiler pan. Salt and pepper them lightly on both sides. In a small bowl, cream the butter until soft. Using the flat side of a large knife, crush the garlic cloves. Remove the papery covering, and then mince the cloves of garlic. Add to the butter. Also add about 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt or an amount you are comfy with to the butter. Knead the butter until completely combined. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the butter and mix well. Loosen the skin of the pieces of chicken, and underneath the skin of each piece spread about a tablespoon of the butter mixture. If you have any butter/garlic mixture left over, just spread it on top of the pieces, but underneath the skin is best. Drizzle EVO over the pieces lightly. Broil for 10 minutes skin side up.. then turn the pieces over and broil for 10 minutes more, or until the thigh's temperature in the thickest part measures 165 F.

All RCs and RECs are entitled to vote. Each voter may cast one "yes" or one "no" vote for each candidate. Voters need not vote for all can- didates, a non vote will be regarded as "abstain" for that candidate Candidates must receive more "yes" than "no" votes to be elected. Although not required, voters are encouraged to consult their constituency before casting their votes. Debate with the candidates is also encouraged. No need to hurry. Voting ends at Sunday December 11th 2011, 20:00 UTC. Persons holding both an RC and a REC position can only vote once. The status of RC's and REC's will be determined by nodelist.310 for Z2 and for the other zones by nodelist.308 as issued by the ZC in the zone where they reside. This is the list of candidates: Nominee Nominated by Accepted Ivan Agarkov 2:5020/848 RC50 Yes Andrew Clarke 3:633/267 RC28 Yes Robert "Jame" Clay 1:120/546 RC28 Yes Björn Felten 2:203/208 RC28 Yes Egor Glukhov 2:5061/120 RC28 Yes Andre Grueneberg 2:2411/525 RC28 Yes Mark Hofmann 1:261/1304 RC13 Yes Dmitriy Romanov 2:6078/1 RC50 Yes Michiel van der Vlist 2:280/5555 RC12 Yes Voters are requested to copy and paste the form below and after marking a cross for each candidate in the "yes" or the "no" column for all candidates they wish to cast a vote for, and post it in FTSC_PUBLIC with a subject of "vote".

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!
