+ computers from the hands of the the few who could
+ afford computers, and shared them massively so that
+ mere individuals could afford it.
+
+ An ocean of creativity sprout. Art of all kind were
+ made on these new toys, that were permitting to many
+ to try on its own, or enjoy a tune of 8-bit music, a
+ demo scene, a play of video game, an ASCII art...

+ The UNIX calendar(1) command tgtimes
+____________________________________________________________
+
+ It is probably there sitting on /usr/bin, the
+ calendar(1) command can offer you a fair dose of
+ flexibility that lack to web-based or smartphone-based
+ calendars.
+
+ By storing events on a single file of text edited by
+ hand, calendar(1) brings the comfort of your existing
+ text editor to manage events with a simple syntax:
+
+ • one line per event: first a date, then a tab, then a
+ description.
+
+ • A line starting with a tab implicitly has the same
+ date as the previous event.
+
+ • Empty lines are ignored, and the C preprocessor
+ brings #include and /* comments */ as needed.
+
+ No need to format everything right away: taking notes
+ at the end while in the middle of a phone call and
+ formatting after hanging-up is making it trivial to
+ manage a calendar.
+
+ while the calendar(1) command is run, events today and
+ tomorrow are printed (with more choice of durations
+ using flags), giving a digest of what is upcoming.
+
+ A command line flag permits to send the calendar
+ digest to all users by email, making it a complete
+ suite to use as a calendar.
+
+ There is even support for weekly, monthly and yearly
+ (birthdays) events.
+
+ Sharing calendar events is as easy as sending the
+ section of the calendar file by email, and
+ synchronising the calendar across devices is a matter
+ of synchronising a single file.
+
+ By adding a few more custom syntax rules, a rather
+ pretty digest can be written with very few effort.

+ Confessions of a thief chemla
+____________________________________________________________
+
+ >> Below is the beginning of "Confessions of a Thief"
+ from Laurent Chemla, founded a major French DNS
+ registrar, but before that, was the first to commit
+ online piracy in France (from a Minitel), and worked
+ on development tools Atari. The book is published
+ online in French and translated below.
+
+ A thief. How else to name one of the first individual
+ in France to procure itself an Internet access? In
+ 1994, borrowing the clothes of a telecommunication
+ expert, that I was not yet, I obtained from an IT
+ staff employee of a parisian University that he let me
+ an access to Internet. In exchange, I brought him help
+ - relatively - to the building of a network devoted to
+ let student work from home.
+
+ I then stole, I confess, this first access to a
+ network that remained to me a mostly unexplored land
+ since my last visits in 1992, mediated by obscure
+ manoeuvres of a friend or through piracy.
+
+ This theft benefited to me, I could learn to use a
+ tool long before the majority of the IT crowd, gaining
+ an advance that still persist today.
+
+ I stole, but I plead good faith. At this epoch nobody
+ around me did understand what it was about. Would it
+ bit a thief to steal something nobody had interest in?
+ This access was to the reach of only a few testing
+ university students, this access that a small IT
+ company could not afford, I stole it, and I am not
+ ashamed.
+
+ For my relatives, I am nontheless an "IT janitor".
+ Programmer to a tiny IT company, I always have been
+ passionated by telematic networks. A passion that
+ costed me, in 1986, to be the first to be guilty of
+ piracy in France, pirated from a Minitel, yes, but to
+ each his glory. As there was not yet any law against
+ IT piracy, I have been incriminated for stealing
+ electrical power. All that ended up in an acquittal,
+ but still, here is a decent start for a thief career!
+
+ Indeed, how to name differently someone who
+ constituted its professional network by taking part to
+ associations? We have the impression to contribute
+ unpaid for the many, but we mostly get known and, time
+ after time, the clients get attracted by this
+ visibility. Of course anyone whose professional
+ occupation deals with voluntary sector end-up face to
+ its own consciousness. Not unlike, I suppose, a lawyer
+ who gain clients from the excluded folk that he help
+ graciously and daily. I ignore what its consciousness
+ would tell him, but I know mine is not at rest.
+
+ Nowadays again, my activities continue to be lucrative
+ out of Internet, at the time of Nasdaq's fall. How can
+ one earn while everyone loose, if not by cheating?
+
+ A thief is on that use to its profit else's good. To
+ me, Internet is a public good and, if serve as
+ commercial gallery for some, it must not limit itself
+ to such a deviation. Internet must first and foremost
+ be the tool that, for the first time in mankind,
+ permitted the freedom of speech, defined as a
+ fundamental human right.
+
+ This right, in all its guarantee from our
+ constitutional state, has stayed hypothetical since
+ its proclamation. In France law protects freedom of
+ Speech of syndicates and journalists but no text that
+ permit to the simple citizen to undertake justice, to
+ reach its freedom. What else since, before Internet,
+ this freedom was to the reach of some privilegied? The
+ lawyer protected them because only them needed that
+ protection. Ten years ago, noone would have been able
+ to benefit an as simple, fast and affordable way to
+ expose works, arts or ideas but by vociferating in the
+ street or by climbing the social scale rung by rung to
+ the point of having media's attention. One had to be
+ represented by others with the expression right for
+ themself. Only ersatz. The only freedom that matters
+ is the one available to all and I dont give a damn
+ about those reserved to the mighty or their
+ representatives.
+
+ Internet thereby permit to a growing number of citizen
+ to apply their fundamental right to take the parole on
+ the public place. From this point of view, it must be
+ protected such as any other necessary yet fragile
+ resource, such as water we drink everyday. It cannot
+ be reserved to anyone, neither be limited in its
+ usages if not by the common right. No exception
+ legislation must forbide the exercise of freedom of
+ speech and, as soon as possible, states must preserve
+ the common tool that became a public benefit. And as I
+ use a public good to lead my own fights, yet again, I
+ behave as a thief.
+
+ I thereby knew the Internet some time before everybody
+ else, still at the age of the Far West, Eldorado,
+ Utopia. At this era, the network was backed by public
+ money (mostly from United States), the life was
+ happier and the electronic sky bluer. We worked all
+ along, among passionated, inventing new computer
+ objects that even Microsoft did ignore, like Linux or
+ the World Wide Web (you know, the three fastidious *w*
+ we have to type in the address of your favorite porn
+ website...) that did not yet exist and that today
+ everybody mistake for the network itself.
+
+ We were far from thinking that some day, we would need
+ a plethora of lawyers to organize the network. That
+ some day, we would need interdepartmental comittees to
+ address of the question. That some day, we would have
+ to put black on white the manners not yet named
+ "netiquette" that seemd all so natural to us. Our only
+ desire, share that formidable invention with the most
+ people, make its apology, attract the most numerous of
+ passionated who shared with us their competency, their
+ knowledge and intelligence.
+
+ I remember that at this epoch, when I was saying
+ "Internet", my friends looked at me as if coming from
+ another planet. When I transfered a file from a
+ computer from one end of of the world to my own
+ machine - by cabalistic commands typed by hand under
+ an interface working without a mouse pointer - the
+ seasoned IT engineers was assisting to the
+ demonstration as to a bad movie: finding a file was
+ taking hours, reading speeds was worth a sick snail
+ and the file often revealed to be unusable... But
+ while a pal entered in my office, I would show him how
+ by typing a single command line I could share, for a
+ ridiculous price, my work, my knowledge, my files or
+ my data with pure strangers and that could live at the
+ other side of the street as the other side of the
+ world.
+
+ Besides from other passionated people, everybody was
+ laughing at me. I could tell them that this thingy
+ would be a revolution for human knowledge, they looked
+ at me in pity and went back to their work.
+
+ In the best case, I was told with lucidity "It is a
+ pirate thing.". Some was asking who would that fit,
+ beyond telematic specialists. Other claimed that
+ volontary and free sharing of resources would not
+ have, by definition, any economical future. I was also
+ asked sometimes who would dare to provide such a
+ terrible service. And when I explained them that
+ everything was entirely decentralised, with for only
+ coordination volunteership and good will of all, the
+ same ones was telling me that it could never work at a
+ large scale.
