I spent a lovely day listening to blues on our downtown park
|
||
today. A band from Chigago, one from Detpoit, and a local band.
|
||
Wonder full music.
|
||
|
||
We live in the center of the city, a place of about a
|
||
quarter million people, about 100 kilometers out of Toronto.
|
||
Met a bunch of neighbours that I had not met before, and they
|
||
all ended up back at our place, playing music, drinking beer,
|
||
and talking about the net.
|
||
|
||
Funny, I kept thinking about how my neighbours are other
|
||
people that I know, and converse with. Borders are such silly
|
||
damned things.

From: Shawn McMahon (1:3806/10)
|
||
|
||
- Original by Shawn McMahon in area R19SYSOP.
|

- Forwarded by Shawn McMahon using Sqed/32.
|
||
- Mein Luftkissenfahrzeug ist voller Aale.
|
||
- Please direct all replies to Shawn McMahon at 1:3806/10.
|
||
|
||
I've just obtained a public domain program that should end the
|
||
Fidonews content controversy once and for all, assuming that
|
||
those who don't like it are actually offended by the content and
|
||
not just trying to exercise control.
|
||
|
||
It's a Fidonews viewer with a twit filter (won't show you
|
||
articles from people you don't like at all) and a word/phrase
|
||
filter. (Nuke them pesky words you don't like.)
|
||
|
||
The archive includes source code, and a 16-bit "family-mode"
|
||
executable that will run under both DOS and OS/2. It has
|
||
configurable colors and etc.
|
||
|
||
Archive name is FNEWS.ZIP, and I'll be uploading it to
|
||
1:3806/11. He normally lets me make things available for FREQ
|
||
through his system, so it should be available by the time you
|
||
read this.
|
||
|
||
It comes pre-set to nuke articles from Bob Germer and Steve
|
||
Winter, and to bleep out the obscene words "religion" and
|
||
"politics." <g>
|
||
|
||
These settings are completely configurable.

DEF CON III Last Minute changes.
|
||
|
||
This is the last update before the convention at the Tropicana this
|
||
August 4-6th. If you can't find it in this or the main last announcement
|
||
(Version 1.80) then it isn't mentioned and you need to email me (dtangent@
|
||
defcon.org)
|
||
|
||
SPEAKERS:
|
||
These are the speakers currently listed. If they are not listed here
|
||
but were in the 1.80 announcement it means they have dropped or I can't
|
||
get ahold of them and assume they are not showing up.

WEB PAGE:
|
||
Is working now at http://www.defcon.org/ and announcements and stuff
|
||
will be posted there. But you don't care because you'll be at the con and
|
||
it won't make a difference.
|
||
|
||
BAR:
|
||
I got a wet bar again for the convention area (Nobody better fucking
|
||
break it this year or I will sick _all_ the Goons (c) on you and you'll
|
||
be screwed) and it starts around 10 pm on Friday night to get us liquored
|
||
up in time for hacker jeopardy. If it survives we'll have it again Saturday.
|
||
|
||
NETWORK:
|
||
Don't forget to bring your stuff for the 10baseT ethernet network.
|
||
Get the winsock tcp/ip stack installed in advance if you can.
|
||
|
||
MOVIES:
|
||
Bring a vcr if you want to dub anything people are offering, bring the
|
||
movies you want to show.
