Twas The Byte Before Computing
|
|||
|
|
by Bert Happel
|
|||
|
|
(with apologies to Clement C. Moore)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
|
|||
|
|
Not a circuit was working not even in my mouse;
|
|||
|
|
The files were all loaded on the hard disc with care,
|
|||
|
|
In hopes that the FAT would list them as there.
|
|||
|
|
The backups were nestled all snug in their sleeves,
|
|||
|
|
To keep the bytes from dropping off them like leaves;
|
|||
|
|
And the disc drive was quiet, taking a rest
|
|||
|
|
Just waiting to run the next boot-up test.
|
|||
|
|
When out of the speaker there arose such a clatter
|
|||
|
|
I sprang to my desk to see what was the matter.
|
|||
|
|
Away to the keyboard I flew like a flash,
|
|||
|
|
Threw open the drive-door and heard a loud crash.
|
|||
|
|
The lights on the breast of the new-fallen dust
|
|||
|
|
Gave a luster of mid-day to a CRT covered with crust.
|
|||
|
|
When what to my wondering eyes did appear,
|
|||
|
|
But a miniature sleigh and the eight data registers I fear.
|
|||
|
|
With a little old driver, so lively and gloss
|
|||
|
|
I knew in a moment he was a master of DOS.
|
|||
|
|
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
|
|||
|
|
And he whistled out and called them by name
|
|||
|
|
"Now Fido! Now Opus! Now QuickBBS and TBBS!
|
|||
|
|
On, ConfMail! On, XlatList! On, Bark and WaZoo!
|
|||
|
|
To the top of the memory! To the top of the stack!
|
|||
|
|
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"
|
|||
|
|
As leaves before the wild hurricane fly,
|
|||
|
|
When they meet with an obstacle mount to the sky,
|
|||
|
|
So up on the screen the coursers they flew,
|
|||
|
|
With a sleigh full of utilities, and DOS commands too.
|
|||
|
|
As I drew back my head and was turning around,
|
|||
|
|
Out the RS-232 port he came with a bound.
|
|||
|
|
He was dressed all in ROM, from his head to his foot,
|
|||
|
|
And his clothes were all tarnished with bytes and some soot;
|
|||
|
|
A bundle of data he had flung on his back,
|
|||
|
|
And he looked like he had a program he wanted to crack.
|
|||
|
|
His eyes -- How they twinkled! His dimples, how merry!
|
|||
|
|
His cheeks were like roses, his nose was a cherry!
|
|||
|
|
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
|
|||
|
|
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;
|
|||
|
|
The stump of a pipe he held in his teeth,
|
|||
|
|
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
|
|||
|
|
He had a broad face and a round little belly
|
|||
|
|
That shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly.
|
|||
|
|
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
|
|||
|
|
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
|
|||
|
|
A flash of the CRT and a twist of his head
|
|||
|
|
Soon gave me to know I had lost programs to dread;
|
|||
|
|
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
|
|||
|
|
FidoNews 5-51 Page 2 19 Dec 1988
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
And filled all the RAM; then turned, the big jerk,
|
|||
|
|
And laying a finger aside of his nose,
|
|||
|
|
And giving a nod, in the RS-232 port he goes.
|
|||
|
|
He sprang to the sleigh, his team they all whistled,
|
|||
|
|
And away they all flew like they had sat on a thistle.
|
|||
|
|
But I heard him exclaim, ere he faded out of sight,
|
|||
|
|
"Bug-free programs to all and to all a good night!"
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Best wishes for the Holidays to everyone.

RegComm - Communications From RegCon.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Recently one of the nodes within FidoNet was excommunicated twice
|
|||
|
|
within a very short period of time. In both cases there were
|
|||
|
|
definite policy violations, there was more than sufficient
|
|||
|
|
warning given before action was taken and everything was done by
|
|||
|
|
agreement between the RC and NC involved. Sounds like a pretty
|
|||
|
|
simple case history, but nothing ever is.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The node filed an appeal to the second excommunication, and
|
|||
|
|
during the appeal process the RC became quite ill. As there had
|
|||
|
|
been some delay in the appeal process prior to the illness the
|
|||
|
|
ZC, in all fairness, requested the NC reinstate the node until
|
|||
|
|
the appeal could be completed. The NC refused the request. The
|
|||
|
|
ZC restated the request a little more strongly and the NC again
|
|||
|
|
refused the request. The ZC was forced to change the request to
|
|||
|
|
an order. (Keep in mind that at ANY time the ZC could have
|
|||
|
|
removed the node himself!) The order was ignored and when the
|
|||
|
|
nodediff was sent in by this NC it was accompanied by a message
|
|||
|
|
that the change had still not taken place. Now with regret, but
|
|||
|
|
little choice, the ZC had to remove the NC from the nodelist and
|
|||
|
|
because there was now no NC for the net the entire net was placed
|
|||
|
|
on hold.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Our present policy was followed to the letter. Evidently the NC
|
|||
|
|
in question did not understand the management structure within
|
|||
|
|
FidoNet and thought, with the RC responsible incapacitated by
|
|||
|
|
illness, there was no management. The ZC, well aware of every-
|
|||
|
|
thing that had transpired and feeling that there could be no
|
|||
|
|
success in the appeal of the node STILL followed due process and
|
|||
|
|
asked for reinstatement until policy could be followed. But
|
|||
|
|
failure to recognize the management chain resulted in an entire
|
|||
|
|
net being placed in limbo.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We all need to realize there is a management chain within this
|
|||
|
|
network. That chain starts at the IC/ZC level and ends at the
|
|||
|
|
node level. Oh, yes, the node is a part of management. The
|
|||
|
|
management of one's own node is an important part of net manage-
|
|||
|
|
ment as an error in software implementation at the node level can
|
|||
|
|
impact the local net, the region and even the entire network. As
|
|||
|
|
in any organization, there is a need for management within
|
|||
|
|
FidoNet and the *C structure IS that management. Failure to
|
|||
|
|
follow the requests of management within FidoNet will result in
|
|||
|
|
the same actions you might expect for failure to follow the
|
|||
|
|
requests of management in any business or organization.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now that our regional management team has improved their communi-
|
|||
|
|
cations you can expect to see actions taking place much more
|
|||
|
|
quickly than in the past. We will do all we can to enforce
|
|||
|
|
present policy while we continue to work towards updating that
|
|||
|
|
policy to better address the problems created by a network that
|
|||
|
|
is expanding at the rapid rate that FidoNet is demonstrating.

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We don't ask you to follow blindly, as in any management team we
|
|||
|
|
still have the infamous `middle management' and we have managers
|
|||
|
|
who have had little training. All the problems of the *C team
|
|||
|
|
and all problems we will constantly be addressing. We do ask
|
|||
|
|
that you communicate with management, let us know problems as you
|
|||
|
|
perceive them and give us the opportunity to act on your
|
|||
|
|
requests. But please do not make our job more difficult by
|
|||
|
|
failing to recognize the requests of the management team, as to
|
|||
|
|
do so leaves that team little choice as to the course of action
|
|||
|
|
it must follow.

Telephone Professional Related Echos
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I am attempting to organize two Echos for those who work in
|
|||
|
|
the Telephone Industry. I am in a PC-Pursuitable area.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The first Echo, Telephone Professionals (TELEPRO) for those
|
|||
|
|
who are actively working in the telephone industry in any
|
|||
|
|
capacity from telemarketing to system sales. Where informa-
|
|||
|
|
tion can be passed between users on various topics of inter-
|
|||
|
|
est.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The second Echo, Telephone Consultants, (TCONSULT) for those
|
|||
|
|
who are selling, consulting etc on various types of telephone
|
|||
|
|
systems. A place to pick-up tips, locate equipment, etc.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Let me know if you would like to link into either of these
|
|||
|
|
echos.

Nominations and Election Committee - IFNA BYLAW 34: "The
|
|||
|
|
Nomination and Elections Committee shall be responsible for:
|
|||
|
|
a) finding and qualifying candidates;
|
|||
|
|
b) reviewing voting procedures and recommending modifications
|
|||
|
|
as necessary;
|
|||
|
|
c) performs other duties as described in applicable By-Laws."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As indicated, this committee runs and oversees the entire
|
|||
|
|
election process. It has various tasks to do between now and
|
|||
|
|
FidoCon relative to the election. The Chairman will present
|
|||
|
|
the election results to the BoD at FidoCon.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Bylaws and Rules Committee - BYLAW 35: "The By-Laws and Rules
|
|||
|
|
Committee shall be responsible for review and any suggestion
|
|||
|
|
of changes to these by-laws."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
There still is a fair amount of work that needs to be done to
|
|||
|
|
bring our by-laws into shape. Also, it can be expected that
|
|||
|
|
the current by-laws election may produce a few inconsistencies
|
|||
|
|
which will require revisions, and changes in IFNA's direction
|
|||
|
|
may also have to be provided for. If you can write well and
|
|||
|
|
have a feel for how things should be, this might be for you.
|
|||
|
|
Most of the committee's work will have to be done before
|
|||
|
|
mid-June.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Security and Individual Rights - This is a new committee, in the
|
|||
|
|
process of being formed at this time. It will be concerned
|
|||
|
|
with any and all matters related to security and to privacy.
|
|||
|
|
As many conflicts between individuals typically occur when
|
|||
|
|
their respective individual rights come in conflict, this
|
|||
|
|
committee will look at such areas and provide guidelines as
|
|||
|
|
they deem best. Work on this committee could continue
|
|||
|
|
throughout the year, but there are concerns related to the
|
|||
|
|
Security and Privacy Committee of the Electronic Mail
|
|||
|
|
Association which this committee will need to address prior to
|
|||
|
|
meetings Feb 28 - Mar 1 in Scottsdale AZ and in late June in
|
|||
|
|
San Francisco.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Sorry that we can't promise fame, wealth or glory - just work
|
|||
|
|
towards the common good! Again, if interested in helping, please
