The history of War FTP Daemon
Topic: Software Development 11:39 pm EDT, Sep  7, 2004

Every piece of software has a history. Here is warftpd's tale.

In 1995, I needed a FTP server ... At this time however, the goal was to make a server for my own needs.

On March 25 1996, I announced the first alpha version on the alt.winsock newsgroup. I got lots of response! After the initial alpha release, I got tons of suggestions, bug-reports, and help with technical issues. In a very short time, the project changed from a very simple application to fit my needs, to a powerful, flexible FTP server. Lots of people dedicated a lot of their spare time to test the new versions, and contributed with well thought out suggestions.

If I should mention just one significant contributor from the early days, I cannot get around giving credits to Jeremy.

I just found this article through Google, and had to share ... (Thanks to Jarle for remembering.)

A Foreign Scholar, Kept Out
Topic: Politics and Law 11:17 am EDT, Sep  6, 2004

Tariq Ramadan rightly points out how hard it is to critique Western or American policies and institutions during the war on terror without being considered a "threat."

But the question he should be asking is, How does a nation allow for serious criticism, even of its foundational institutions, when it is quite clearly under a real attack?

Inside Al-Qaeda’s Hard Drive | The Atlantic | September 2004
Topic: War on Terrorism 1:14 am EDT, Aug 31, 2004

This article was sufficiently popular that editors at The Atlantic put it back behind the subscription wall.

If you didn't catch it before, it's worth checking out in print.

In general, life inside al Qaeda is rather boring.

Klezmer's Final Frontier
Topic: Music 11:43 am EDT, Aug 29, 2004

On a hill a few miles outside Weimar, a talented klezmer duo of accordion and violin performed late into the night. Just one thing was missing from the scene. There were almost no Jews.

This evening and its backdrop summarize in one swoop the curious, complex and sometimes troubling world of klezmer music in Germany. But with few exceptions, the klezmer scene in Germany is a non-Jewish phenomenon, a renaissance of Jewish culture without Jews, prompting a wide range of reactions here and abroad, from bewilderment and cautious approval to cynicism and reproach.

On one hand, it can perhaps be seen as an example of the broader world-music trend toward genre tourism.

On the other hand, some skeptics question whether the notion of Germans enjoying and profiting from a largely decimated Jewish cultural tradition may be just another postwar injustice.

In general, I often consider myself a skeptic, but that is pretty damn skeptical.

... klezmer, defined less as a genre than as a musical-spiritual approach that could be applied to any music ...

German klezmer may be evolving into the ground for a sort of proxy dialogue.

Juliana Hatfield - In Exile Deo
Topic: Music 11:23 am EDT, Aug 29, 2004

All Music Guide calls it "her strongest album in years, rivaling her indie pop breakthrough, Hey Babe" and "arguably her most consistent set of tunes to date, making this not just a pleasant surprise but an album that grows in stature with repeated listens." They conclude with the advice that "listeners who came of age during the alt-rock revolution and were disappointed, even outraged, at Liz Phair's Matrix makeover in 2003 should find In Exile Deo is exactly what they were looking for."

Loretta Lynn: The Gospel Spirit
Topic: Music 11:16 am EDT, Aug 29, 2004

Gospel music has never been more popular than it is today, from Christian venues to more agnostic appreciation from R&B, country and mainstream music fans. Now a new series, The Gospel Spirit, resurrects the best gospel recordings, each digitally remastered, from country music's greatest artists. On August 24, 2004, the first four albums to be released. Among them:

LORETTA LYNN: THE GOSPEL SPIRIT (MCA Nashville/UMe) brings together the best of the Country Music Hall Of Famer's three albums of inspirational music -- HYMNS, WHO SAYS GOD IS DEAD! and GOD BLESS AMERICA AGAIN -- each produced by Bradley and recorded from 1965 to 1970. Featuring both traditional and original songs, many of these recordings make their CD debuts; several have never before been reissued. The compilation includes 'Peace In The Valley,' 'In The Sweet Bye And Bye,' 'The Old Rugged Cross' and 'Harp With Golden Strings' (both with The Jordanaires), 'If God Is Dead (Who's This Living In My Soul)' and 'Just A Little Talk With Jesus.'

You'll find the album on Amazon at

It's also on Rhapsody, as are two of the other albums in the series.

What to Do in an Air Raid

Americans! Share the Meat! Use it up--wear it out--make it do! Idle hands work for Hitler! Who wants to know? Silence means security. Defense Needs Rubber! (Save yours) Men Working Together! Give 'em both barrels. Do it right: make it bite.

This war will be over some day : don't get caught with your pants down. A half-filled stamp album is like a half-equipped soldier.

Your government warns: prepare for winter now! Grow your own! Be Sure!

Ouch! The Japs don't like mosquitoes. Warning, aliens. Hon. spy say: thanks for the can you throw away!

If you talk too much, this man may die. I need your skill in a war job! What did you do today -- for freedom?

Jenny on the job: gets her beauty sleep.
Jenny on the job: wears styles designed for victory.
Jenny on the job: steps ahead with low heels.
Jenny on the job: has her fun after work.
Jenny on the job says -- let's keep our rest room clean!
Jenny on the job: keeps fresh as a daisy.

Tunes, a Hard Drive and (Just Maybe) a Brain
Topic: Music 9:40 am EDT, Aug 26, 2004

"Everyone was rocking out. Then Elton comes on and kills it -- it was like strike No. 1 against my manhood."

Such are the perils of using Shuffle, a genre-defying option that has transformed the way people listen to their music in a digital age. The problem is, now that people are rigging up their iPods to stereos at home and in their cars, they may have to think twice about what they have casually added to their music library.
