Jonestown: Armageddon Writ Small

Jonestown: Armageddon Writ Small 11/19/2003 08:12 AM
If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, you can't help but notice that November 18, 2003 is the 25th anniversary of what has come to be known as the "Jonestown Massacre". There's a excellent description of the events that unfolded that day in Guyana. Today, as they do every year, survivors and families of victims gather to commemorate their loss. I was six going on seven years old when it happened.

About two years ago you may remember we were in the throes of the SOAP revolution. "Web services everywhere!" was the cry and have to confess I'm one of those guilty of having gone for it, for a while. There were going to be these giant UDDI servers that would aggregate everyone's web services and the Internet would never look the same again...

Armageddon fundraiser porn, five bodies,
and a Mormon assassination plot

Armageddon fundraiser porn, five bodies,
and a Mormon assassination plot 06/16/2004 11:58 AM
Fleshbot points to a court case that's, like, weirder than Michael Jackson and the Scott Peterson trial combined. Murder, dismemberment, lapsed Mormons, the death penalty, and Playboy model Kerissa Fare.

This week, a jury in Martinez, a small town outside San Francisco, will retire to consider the bizarre, brutally violent cult surrounding one Glenn Taylor Helzer, a lapsed Mormon accused of bludgeoning and dismembering five people in an elaborate extortion racket intended to hasten the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Helzer, a former stockbroker who has already pleaded guilty and faces the death penalty, exerted a charismatic hold over an eclectic group of followers including his younger brother, a former girlfriend turned Playboy centrefold model, and a self-described "good witch" who once offered to raise money for Armageddon by appearing in porn films.

FCC screws America, adopts Broadcast

FCC screws America, adopts Broadcast
Flag, doom, gloom, armageddon 11/04/2003 07:12 PM
We've lost a round in the Broadcast Flag fight. The FCC today decided that it didn't need to listen to the tens of thousands of Americans that wrote to it, asking to have this terrible proposal set aside, and instead adopted a rule proposed by billionaire movie studios whose biggest problem is figuring out how to spend the riches they made off the VCR after we saved their asses by telling them to get bent when they tried to get the Betamax banned the last time around.

"The FCC today has taken a step that will shape the future of television," said EFF Senior Intellectual Property Attorney Fred von Lohmann. "Sadly, this represents a step in the wrong direction, a step that will undermine innovation, fair use, and competition."

"The broadcast flag rule forces manufacturers to remove useful recording features from television products you can buy today," said EFF Staff Technologist Seth Schoen. "The FCC has decided that the way to get Americans to adopt digital DTV is to make it cost more and do less."

A Walk in Winter

A Walk in Winter 03/06/2004 01:55 AM

A few photos from a walk on a winter day.

Alan Burlison always has such nice pictures and stories from his own walks around the Peak District that I thought I'd have a go with my urban landscape. No fields of heather or peat bogs here, but it's home. :)

We took a nice walk around the southern edge of Helsinki and I needed to finish off a roll of film. We wound up walking out on the ice which made me nervous even though it appeared to be a very popular Sunday pastime for quite a few people. Where I come from, only stupid people who want to die walk out on the invariably thin ice, but Finland's ice is much thicker so that only a few people manage to fall through each year. :) It's strange to walk on the ice where in summertime there are only boats. The abandoned fuel station looked out of place and abandoned in spite of the people with strollers, with pets, with friends all wandering on the ice around it. It may be winter here, but we don't let the cold keep us inside all the time.

Ever wanted to go for a really, really, really long walk? Just to make it difficult, how about carrying something really, really heavy (in more than a few ways...) to some rather unfriendly places... Meet interesting people, get famous, predict the future, accumulate amazing numbers, get the real deal on shoes... Even ki ds can play.What else would one expect from a hippie priest with a recording career that took him From Sunset Strip to the Whitehouse? And, of course, the final frontier. via my friend who loves metafilter but lacks an account

Brian Livingston says, “I’m afraid it’s time this week for me to speak the unspeakable — you have to stop using Internet Explorer. You have to stop using it now….I sense that enterprises across America and around the world are just now beginning to entertain the idea of abandoning IE and investing in other browsers instead. It’s remarkable to think that a software company as successful as Microsoft might actually blow a 95% penetration rate…

Fetch 5 Ready for a Walk

Fetch 5 Ready for a Walk 06/05/2005 11:45 PM
Adam C. Engst (~290 words)

Fetch 5 Ready for a Walk -- Proving that you can teach an old dog new tricks, Jim Matthews and Fetch Softworks today released Fetch 5, a sleek new version of the earliest FTP client still in active development for the Macintosh. With Fetch 5, Jim focused on simplifying the user interface to improve ease of use and adding support for low-level technologies like SFTP. Fetch now sports a new toolbar for quick access to commonly used functions, Back and Recent buttons for easier navigation to previously viewed folders, a more Finder-like list view, and a status pane at the bottom of each transfer window. Other interface niceties include a file transfer progress indicator in Fetch's Dock icon, context-sensitive help, and a recent connections pop-up menu in the New Connection dialog. Under the hood, along with SFTP support, Fetch 5 now offers resuming of binary uploads, automatic detection of FTP and SFTP servers on your local network if they advertise their presence via Bonjour (formerly called Rendezvous), importing of Interarchy and Transmit bookmarks, support for using StuffIt to compress files automatically on upload and expand automatically on download, improved handling of non-ASCII and Unicode file names, and "Automatic Passive Mode" for automatic detection of proper connection modes for reliable transfers through firewalls and NAT gateways. Fetch 5 works with Mac OS X 10.2.4 or later (including Tiger), and it costs $25, with upgrades from Fetch 4 priced at $15. New copies of Fetch and upgrades may both be purchased directly from within Fetch 5; choose Purchase or Purchase Upgrade from the Fetch application menu. Users at educational and non-profit charitable organizations may apply for a free license. [ACE]
