Luckily though he must have been anticipating the worst, since the Zone 2 segment for this week's nodelist did indeed arrive in my inbound directory. What gremlin Ward left watching his system is unknown, but luckily for our Zone 2 friends, it looks like his system will indeed produce a difference file and nodelist on Thursday night.

Volume V Number IX July 1st, 2011 ======================================================================= The Old School Toolbox By Richard Webb, 1:116/901 Data storage, the Future, Archiving, etc. So here I am, the old curmudgeon with tendencies toward luddite in a profession where thinking about such issues is important. In brushing up against the topic I find myself listening in on some fascinating discussions between folks who work in other fields as well. Of course we sysops have always had an interest in backup and archival strategies, etc for obvious reasons. Not just are these issues important to folks in the audio and video industries as well as sysops, but they're quickly becoming the most important issue in the information technology world, tied for first place with security. IN fact, they're both two halves of the same issue, data integrity and access. This wrestling match has always been with us, but as the types of data we wish to preserve vary more we're left with some even larger questions. Back in the days when Fidonet was that place to connect for average folks you had essentially two choices, other than raid hard drive arrays. They were piles of floppy disks, and tapes of various types. Then came zip drives, jaz drives, etc. No matter what the media you still have the same wrestling matches with data integrity and cataloging. Not just do you need to back up that data, but then you need to know which version of it you've got where. This is extremely important for medical institutions and similar facilities where the integrity of patient/customer records is the driving factor. I never had the money for a raid array back then, and I did understand about the need for off site storage, a lesson I failed to heed just before hurricane Katrina much to my sorrow. I will always wish I had the research for a book I'd been working on. some of the interviews conducted for that research were with people who had died. I can't go interview them again. That zip file with all that data wouldn't fit on a 1.4 mb floppy. So what does the pro who works with large files whose integrity must be retained do? In my professional life I sidestep the question in many ways. If I'm doing recording for a client, and not sound for immediate use such as broadcast or for the audience I deliver the work to the client on regular hard drives, and hope that he migrates that data soon enough to ensure that he can indeed get it from that hard drive. If he waits to long it might not spin up properly. Then he's got the problems of cataloging and archival. We'll come back to this question later, but first let's look at physical media. Of course I"m looking at this primarily from the point of view of someone in my profession. Often the files we need to move from place to place are quite large. What about cd-r and dvd-r disks? Home burned cd and dvd disks are not as robust as those created from glass masters at the factory, and not as reliable. Also, consider 24 tracks of high resolution audio, 44.1 khz 16 bit or higher sampling rate. Let's look at 44.1 khz 16 bit for an example. That's the sampling rate of that commercial cd of the latest Stones album you might have bought. So consider that stones album, mixed and mastered in stereo. If you were to capture the tunes on that Stones cd as .wav files you'll need 5.5 mb per track minute, or 11 mb/minute for each song you wished to capture. So take a song, 24 tracks of audio for this one song, each recorded at 44.1 khz 16 bit. Again, 5.5 mb/track minute. The song runs for 4 minutes. That 4 minute song needs 528 mb of storage for just the 24 tracks of audio data, not counting the additional data inherent in broadcast .wav files which enable them to be synchronized later. so let us say that the client recorded 10 songs, and that's the average length of each, some more, some less, but they average 4 minutes in length each. you need at least 5 gb now to store it. Quite the undertaking for cd-r or dvd-r disks. All backed up and no place to go Picture yourself as the archivist for CBS records, or WArner brothers, or Disney studios, or, God forbid, the Smithsonian or library of congress. You can back this stuff up, but unless you migrate it to newer forms of storage, or retrieve that backed up data occasionally you can't be sure those usb drives spin, or those cd-r disks are readable. Then there's the obsolescence issue. Jaz drives anyone? Those portable hard drives might not spin when you need them, so you better check 'em out occasionally if you really need what they contain. Cd-r and dvd media might not play a couple years down the road, as some have found. If it won't "play" you can't get the data it contains. If you want to be sure you can access it, keep 'er spinnin' and make 'er part of a raid array. So now we bring this home to the BBS world. Drop me a routed mail, tell me about your backup and archival strategies. After all, you've got those message bases, many of which are just chatter and archival is meaningless, but some you might wish to preserve in perpetuity. Then there are your carefully assembled files collections, bbs configuration files, special batch and .cmd files, scripts, software key files, etc. We'll talk more about them, and some of the thoughts of the pros from the world of the heavy hitters in data storage and archival over the next few columns. But first, a little history lesson next time. A friend used to have a little statement in his email sig file which stated that the amazing thing about data storage technology was the ability to lose larger and larger amounts of data at one fell swoop, a wrong command line, or other such "accidents." A scary thought, isn't it? So we'll look into the past (this is the old school toolbox after all) then hopefully have some anecdotes from today's fidonet sysops to share in future columns in this series.

Volume V Number IX July 1st, 2011 ======================================================================= PyBlosxom Blog Software ======================= My blog is progressing ... With a new update by the author of Pyblosxom, comments are now working as they should.. that allowed me to dump a php script on the actual blog articles. You can check out the blog here, http://www.filegate.net/blog/ I'm still using the php script in a few static places on the blog..but I may remove that later. If you're running linux and want to run Pyblosxom, get the latest version here: http://pyblosxom.bluesock.org/download/pyblosxom-1.5rc3.tar.gz Pyblosxom is a python language program, so if you have python installed, it may work fine for you even if you are not running linux (I should try that on my windows laptop ). I'm playing with a number of 'flavours' (Wordpress calls them themes), and playing with developing some of my own. You can see some of them if you type this into your location bar of your browser: http://www.filegate.net/blog/?flav= 1024px transp gray html wbg1 i.e., http://www.filegate.net/blog/?flav=1024px =+= Page 5 ======================================================================= T h e F i d o G a z e t t e!

Send recipes, articles, reviews etc. to janis@filegate.net, or fidogazette@filegate.net. Going dairy free doesn't have to be horrible. It's something we have to deal with over here since my daughter and at least two of her sons can't touch the stuff. I also benefit from not using as many dairy products as I used to, that's for sure. This recipe is great for who are sensitive to dairy and gluten as well. Ice Cream Pie ========================= Ingredients: Almond pie shell (below) Almond Ice Cream (below) about 2 cups fresh blueberries, sprinkled with sugar Ingredients for the Pie Crust: 1 1/2 cups slivered almonds, ground 3 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 3 tablespoons brown sugar 1 tsp. grated lemon zest 2 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/8 tsp nutmeg 1 Tbsp. water Preheat the oven to 350F Grind the almonds in a food processor or blender. Add the other ingredients and mix well. Press into the bottom of a deep dish pie tin. Bake the pie crust for about 7 minutes. Don't let it over brown. Cover, cool and put the crust in the freezer to get it really cold. Ingredients for the Almond Milk Ice Cream ========================================= 1 qt. unsweetened Almond milk (they sell sweetened and unsweetened) 5 eggs 1 Tablespoon sugar (some people use none) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (we use one from the health food store, that has no alcohol since the kids can't have whatever they use for the alcohol) Beat the eggs until really fluffy, add the sugar and beat some more. Heat the almond milk to warm, then beat it into the eggs - keep beating so the eggs don't curdle. Cook the mixture on low heat, stirring constantly until it hits 170F and coats the wooden spoon your stirring it with. Chill the mix in the refrigerator, covered, over night. Put the mix into an electric ice cream maker to freeze.. Let freeze over night until firm. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can just freeze it in the mixing bowl and then beat it to death with a strong mixer the next morning, and then freeze it again.

Place half the softened ice cream in the chilled pie shell, spreading it evenly to the edges. Top with about 3/4's of berries. Cover the berries with the rest of the ice cream, and sprinkle the remaining berries on top. Cover the ice cream pie with plastic wrap, and freeze for about 5-6 hours until firm. =#= Page 6 ======================================================================= T h e F i d o G a z e t t e!

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!
