It's just that if you believe people like Michiel van der Vlist and Ward Dossche, Zone 5 is a goner! Not So! It goes without saying that the perception of Mr. Vlist and Mr. Dossche are once again.. wrong. It was true when Bin Li was Z6C, though even now Michiel and Ward like to play the 'no connection was possible' card from days long past. Now they are trying to play that same card with Russell and Manuel Adorni (Z4C). Rather than believe my logs which show Manuel polling here just about every day, they'd much rather ignore his connections here: - 22 Mar 19:52:52 [27369] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 22 Mar 20:53:05 [29090] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 22 Mar 21:53:03 [30512] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 22 Mar 22:52:54 [31818] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 22 Mar 23:52:58 [948] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 23 Mar 00:52:54 [3186] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 23 Mar 01:53:05 [4502] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 23 Mar 02:53:04 [5823] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 23 Mar 03:53:05 [7134] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 23 Mar 04:52:52 [9025] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 23 Mar 06:52:53 [12007] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 23 Mar 07:53:04 [13627] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 23 Mar 08:53:03 [15367] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 23 Mar 09:53:04 [16909] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 23 Mar 10:52:52 [18732] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 23 Mar 11:52:53 [20539] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 23 Mar 12:52:55 [22249] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 23 Mar 13:52:52 [24092] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 23 Mar 14:53:04 [25606] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 23 Mar 15:52:52 [27317] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 23 Mar 16:52:53 [28945] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 23 Mar 17:52:52 [30421] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 23 Mar 18:53:04 [32201] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 23 Mar 19:53:03 [1094] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 23 Mar 20:53:05 [2885] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 23 Mar 21:53:02 [4250] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 23 Mar 22:52:53 [5958] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 23 Mar 23:52:57 [7688] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 24 Mar 00:53:03 [9365] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 24 Mar 01:52:51 [10723] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 24 Mar 02:52:52 [12012] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 24 Mar 03:52:51 [13283] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 24 Mar 04:52:52 [14673] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 24 Mar 05:52:55 [16013] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 24 Mar 06:53:06 [17389] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 24 Mar 07:52:51 [19053] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 24 Mar 08:52:55 [20488] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 24 Mar 09:53:50 [21793] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 24 Mar 10:52:51 [23251] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 24 Mar 11:49:51 [24460] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 24 Mar 12:53:12 [26413] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 24 Mar 13:53:04 [28057] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 24 Mar 14:52:51 [29953] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 24 Mar 16:53:04 [1386] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 24 Mar 17:52:50 [3001] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 24 Mar 18:53:02 [5220] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 24 Mar 21:53:02 [9692] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 03 Apr 19:43:38 [7748] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 03 Apr 20:03:54 [8433] ZYZ Manuel Adorni - 03 Apr 20:52:54 [9536] ZYZ Manuel Adorni Russell doesn't pick up here, but I know where he connects, and I know that he's been polling there. :) FIDOGAZETTE Vol 6 No 07 Page 3 April 03, 2012 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================= C O L U M N S ================================================================= The Old school Toolbox By Richard Webb, 1:116/901 Connecting the Wetware, Part V. Last time in this space we talked about why the framers of Fidonet policy didn't drill too deep into the social part of the network. I posited then that this was both the good news and the bad news. The relative newcomer to Fidonet might think then that I'm blaming the principles of anarchy on which Fidonet based its operational considerations for its decline. Far from it. Other networks, usenet in particular holds to these principles. Like Fidonet, Usenet survives today. Unlike Fidonet, Usenet would seem to be much healthier however. There are far more newsgroups than Fidonet echoes, and I would venture far more participants than we find in our message bases. Not that Usenet hasn't had its setbacks the last few years. IN fact, many who were active in their favorite newsgroups have fallen away because their internet service provider no longer provided access to usenet. The service providers shut down their nntp services forcing users to look for third parties offering access through their internet connections. Still, usenet continued to thrive during Fidonet's period of decline precisely because Usenet had the support of those system administrators and decision makers who enjoyed Usenet access at their colleges and universities. Usenet integrated itself from the start into uunet, and other forerunners of today's internet. usenet is one of those things you could expect when you connect. When internet service providers decided to no longer operate nntp servers the reason they did so was twofold. First there were political concerns over intellectual property theft, and also the administration headaches thanks to miscreants using open ports into usenet to create havoc and spam newsgroups. Still third party providers stepped into the void offering free or low cost nntp access for those left out when their service shut down its nntp servers. This doesn't mean that the principle of positive anarchy is all good for Usenet, and bad for Fidonet. Usenet has its own set of challenges thanks to these principles. We'll explore them in a moment, but first, we must return to Fidonet. Fidonet, unlike Usenet had no cultural support from those who migrated from academia to jobs maintaining servers at telephone companies, cable companies and others offering broadband service to the public. Fidonet after all was made up of independent system operators who were outside the halls of academia and government. Fidonet's main problem was that it could not adapt quickly enough to rapidly changing conditions. A perfect example of how Fidonet policy painted us into a corner is the section regarding the official weekly newsletter. You'll note if you read that section that it stipulates that the Fidonews editor can be reached by utilizing the address 1:1/1 which seemed to be a good thing at the time, after all, the majority of Fidonet connected systems were in North America at that time. But, even before Fidonet grew elsewhere the 1:1/1 address created problems. Tom Jennings received permission to abandon 1:1/1 in favor of 1:1/23 because of technical difficulties and errant mail being dumped on the Fidonews editor's system, which was Tom's at the time. Tom advocated modifying policy to remove the wording which stipulated Fidonews could be reached at 1:1/1 but it never gained enough traction. The next editors retained the 1:1/23 address as did others in zone 1. Frank Vest tried in earnest to get the wording in policy changed, without success. Then, Fidonews moved across the ocean to Europe. By that point most software was improved so that it didn't automatically send mail whose routing was uncertain to the nominal zonegate for the same zone, which was the problem. when Fidonews was at 1:1/1 what would happen is this: Software having no good instructions how to route mail would send it to what appeared to be the nominal zonegate for zone 1, even if the system where it originated was in zone 1. Mail which was routed to Europe might go to the zonegate for Europe, i.e. 1:2/2, etc. So, if no rules to follow to send it within the same zone, the mail would be routed to 1:1/1. The section of p4 regarding Fidonews was just one of the gotchas involved in adapting policy to meet prevailing conditions as they changed.Echomail was another, and the war of words regarding echomail policy went on for years. Echomail policies still aren't consistent throughout the network. The only thing policy would say about it and still does is that echomail is just another flavor of mail, and should not be handled during zmh, although the later was more in the form of a guideline not a hard and fast rule. Echomail was sort of like that substance your dog leaves in a corner of the yard, necessary for continued life and good health, just don't step in it. Yet echomail was the primary reason our nodelist grew so rapidly. Bbs systems in the large cities and the small towns connected up for the echomail. It along with the file distribution networks were the primary motivator for sysops to link their systems to the net. Unlike Usenet, Fidonet was designed around the concept of person to person mail. Usenet was designed around the concept of one to many communication, i.e. newsgroup articles on various topics. Unlike fidonet Usenet seems to maintain a much wider variety of discussion groups on a much broader range of topics. The support of the system administrators is only part of the reason why, because, as many of us know, nntp servers are quickly disappearing from major service providers, with third parties stepping into the gap. One can't blame principles of anarchy for anything other than the major internet service providers closing their nntp servers down, because Usenet maintains enough critical mass to be viable. I'll explore this more next time.

Add salt to oil, and mix with butter. In a small bowl, beat the egg; add milk, stir in oil mixture. Add yeast and set aside. Mix flour, guar gum, sugar in another bowl. Make a well in flour and add the liquid ingredients. Stir in whole rasberries. Stir to mix. Spray donut maker or muffin-tin with oil lightly. Fill cups and close unit. Bake for 5 minutes in the donut maker, or in the oven for about 10 minutes. Remove to rack to cool. Repeat with the rest of the batter. To serve, warm rasberry jam slightly, spread on top of donuts then sprinkle with coconut flakes... or split donuts and put in the middle, or.. cover with confectioners sugar.

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!
