To black hole, or not black hole, that

I really need to get things together and finish the time-limited black hole route system I keep thinking about. Digging through the logs recently I've been finding that there are patterns in there to be teased out--systems that constantly hammer me with viruses or bang on the webserver with attempts to post comments to non-functional cgi programs. (Yeah, I left mt-comments.cgi around and just marked it non-executable) While it's not a lot of traffic, it's annoying traffic, and in the case of the virus bombs it's repeated over and over. I could just install a blackhole route for these things,...

Black Star: Ghana, Information Technology and Development in Africa by G. Pascal Zachary
http://firstmon day.org/issues/issue9_3/zachary/

Abstract:

Accra, the capital of the West African country of Ghana, is technologically marginalized by any measure. But over the past ten years, the introduction of the Internet, wireless technology and freer radio broadcasts have vastly expanded communications and information. The Internet is widely available. E–mail usage is soaring. Wireless telephony is growing rapidly. Radio stations are proliferating. Once mired in information poverty, the people of Accra, Ghana now face the challenge of using information and connectivity to their best advantage. In examining how Accra adapts to technological change, we gain a better understanding of how people in poor African cities use technology and what they want from it. Debates over the so–called "digital divide" can be enriched by close studies of lived experience in parts of the world where the revolution in information technology remains more prospect than reality.

Tears of the Giraffe

Tears of the Giraffe 10/28/2003 11:06 PM
The second installation in Alexander McCall Smith's gentle, relaxing, lyrical tale of one lovely person's Botswana.

Mma Ramotswe found it difficult to imagine what it would be like to have no people. There were, she knew, those who had no others in this life, who had no uncles, or aunts, or distant cousins of any degree; people who were just themselves. ... How lonely they must be--like space-men deep in space, floating in the darkness, but without even that silver, unfurling cord that linked the astronauts to their little metal womb of oxygen and warmth. For a moment, she indulged the metaphor, and imagined [her] tiny white van in space, slowly spinning against a background of stars and she, Mma Ramotswe, of the No. 1 Ladies' Space Agency, floating weightless, head over heels, tied to the tiny white van with a thin washing line.

I was reminded, as I finished the last 12 pages last night, of something I once heard or read (I'm afraid I can't quite recall the reference) about why a seemingly straight shot across an African plain winds and meanders, twists and turns. Apparently the roads are built on earlier trails used by the native population for migrating, tracking, and hunting. These, in turn, are based upon the routes of the animals--herds of Wildebeest, lumbering elephants, graceful giraffes. So, if in the middle of a seemingly unobstructed bit of road, you should come upon a sudden veer to the left or right, chances are a long time ago, on this very spot, an elephant avoided a particularly thorny bush, a giraffe noticed a more succulant tree off in the distance, or a gentle rise felt not quite so gentle to a herd of zebra under the hot African sun.

Lessig tears SCO a new one

Lessig tears SCO a new one 12/04/2003 09:32 PM
Larry Lessig, having heard about Darl "SCO" McBride's latest missive, has dropped everything to write a scathing response.

We should all believe that the "progress of science" is best advanced when "Authors" have the right to do with their property whatever it is they want to do -- consistent with the law, and so long as the property right is properly balanced. And we should all believe that the "progress of science" is best advanced when that right is "vigorously protect[ed]".

But the owners of GPL'd software are doing no more than exercising this right, just as Microsoft would exercise its right. They are profiting from the right to choose the terms under which they release their software, and the terms they have chosen also have a great benefit to other software innovation. They exercise their property right; they and we benefit.

But if we are to protect that property right "vigorously," then we should take steps to protect property owners from baseless lawsuits against their right to use their property as they wish. So when it comes to the matter of sanctions against the lawyers in this case, the judge might well want to consider how important it is that the property right of copyright owners be "vigorously" defended.

RADIUS without Tears from LucidLink

RADIUS without Tears from LucidLink 06/08/2004 01:38 PM
InterLink introduces cheap, easy-to-administer, single-minded authentication server with WPA and 802.1X/EAP-TLS support: RADIUS is expensive and complicated. Small businesses either can't afford the server software or the staff to support it. InterLink is trying to reduce the cost of providing a secure Wi-Fi network by introducing its LucidLink client and server software that has one. Unlike robust, multi-purpose RADIUS servers, LucidLink authenticates in one way for one purpose. LucidLink's client software manages certificates used with EAP-TLS, the most secure method of out-of-band messaging for the authentication portion of joining a Wi-Fi network using 802.1X. With EAP-TLS, the certificate on the client machine assures the server of the correct identity. LucidLink uses WPA for keying material. It supports certain releases of Windows XP and 2000. LucidLink is the flip side of the coin from Wireless Security Corporation's out-of-house solution. WSC runs its RADIUS system as a managed service over the Internet, charging $4 to $5 per user per month. InterLink's server will cost $449 for 10 users and a lower per-user cost for higher quantities, and requires a Windows 2000 or 2003 server. The client software is nominally free, but the license for users resides on the server side....
