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". FIDOGAZETTE Vol 6 No 06 Page 3 March 19, 2012 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================= C O L U M N S ================================================================= 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. FIDOGAZETTE Vol 6 No 06 Page 4 March 19, 2012 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================= F O O D: F O R T H O U G H T ================================================================= 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.

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!
