Not (Dec 03 2003 05:59 GMT) - MobileWhack "MobileWhack is all about that mobile handset, palmtop, hiptop, ipod, or laptop in your pocket, purse, briefcase, or dangling from your utility belt. It's about squeezing every last ounce of mobility out of your mobile device. MobileWhack isn't just infoporn, not that we don't like our fair share, mind you--Gizmodo, MobileBurn, and Phone Scoop spring to mind. It's not about the deep analysis and social implications you'll find at Mobitopia and Smart Mobs, although you can be sure we'll be giving some thought to things along the way. It's not about finding the future in every smidgeon of leaked info and glossy promo shots--ok, so there may be some drooling. |

- My project for tonight is to modify lukemftpd (the FreeBSD FTP server; see also lukemftpd source) to make it useful for hosting FTP for web hosting farms. All the FTP servers I've looked at process logins using the system password file or whatever method is used for validating interactive user logins. I don't really like this, because FTP usually requires a plaintext password to be transmitted, so if the FTP password is the same as the user's login password, one snooped FTP login can reveal a user's login details and allow an attacker to obtain an interactive session over SSH. So ... |

- I believe the conference they're talking about is actually on Friday, December 5. I'll get the details. I am reluctant to attend because I don't agree with the premise. I think we should find ways to move on, without the music industry, and let a new commercial medium develop around the strengths of the Internet, rather than tax the Internet to hold back the clock for an industry that's unwilling to change. |

- Think Tank Urges Information Sharing Crucial data about individuals that could thwart terrorist attacks are not being sufficiently shared among local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, according to a report released yesterday by a task force of business executives, technologists, academics and security experts. The report, sponsored by the Markle Foundation, a New York-based think tank that focuses on technology policy, calls on President Bush to issue a series of executive orders directing rapid deployment of an information-sharing network that can be easily used by all investigators. |

- La ciudad corre hacia el caos y todo lo que pueden hacer los servicios públicos es detener momentaneamente el final. Un día que los basureros no trabajen, un día que los potentes chorros de agua no recorran las calles, un día que los encarados del alumbrado público no hagan su trabajo habrá comenzado el final. Todo se encuentra tan equilibrado en el eje que cualquier hecho podría precipitar bruscamente la ciudad hacia el caos que la espera. Incluso las ambulancias con su fuerte rechinar de llantas sobre el asfalto y sus luces de colores intentando buscar un camino de salida luchan contra el caos que está por apropiarse del enfermo. Después de un punto, de una línea inmovil del escaner, de un último espasmo el final habrá llegado y el cuerpo pasará a otro proceso necesario que evita que los hospitales sean sobrepasados por una carga de muerte. |

Sprawled (Dec 03 2003 05:54 GMT) - Mis-remembering here, some science fiction writers in their literature have speculated on the future aggregation of urbaness of San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego in a cancerous growth spanning edge to edge on the chainlink-fences at Tijuana and the agro-cultural shift north of Marin County where California suddenly becomes North Dakota without the cornfields. Visions of a city that can seriously consider electing a Green Party mayor melding with reactionary smorgasbored of Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego County. Infrastructure over ecology. You can almost believe it happening heading down the 5 South with cube malls fornicate with cube offices, watched by cube homes till running out the last Del Taco upwind of the real Carniceria. Excepting the mockery of development, in balance theres 5 hours, 48 minutes and lolling cows filling in the crack from SF and LA, the great demilitarized zone of the Central Coast. |
