Autumn 2004 
  1. [bangla.htm]: Opening Windows: the legal approach
    (or: How do you set up -legally- a full-fledged windows computer without any money at all)
    by fravia+ (There's no need to pay for anything on the web, duh)
    Part of the Introduction section.
    Updated!
  2. [source2.htm]: Searching and understanding an image without knowing its name and purpose
    "The chick on the river", an autumnal, small, "image searching" assignement!
    by G. Bidwell and fravia+
    Images finding on the web as art and passion.
    There are *many* hints in the image itself, will they be enough?
    Part of the finding images section and of the antiadvertisement section.

    3. And some more (easier) advertisement debunking images, related to source2.htm.
    1) carocolo.htm: "What do we sell?"   An easy one.
    2) revenge.htm: "The head of the crab"   Moderately hard.
    3) quietharbour.htm: "The quiet harbour"  "Harder" one.

  3. [books.htm]: Searching books and texts on the wide web, part of the [targets.htm], section. Updated! Again!
  4. [weatherbug.htm]: Weatherbug's nasty habits (Investigating spyware)

  5. [mhyst_del.htm]: Deliverer: Distributed Framework for Bots
    by Mhyst
    This is not an essay for newbyes.
    Mhyst offers here, to every reader, a quite powerful 'queuer' bot, a sort of 'sandwich' for java small snippet bots that you may want to write yourself and that deliver will schedule and send around. Sourcecode is provided, whomever will take the time to study (and implement) this interesting java bot will for sure learn quite a lot of things about (java) bots. I hope that your feedback will flow, and that this first step will span a lot of new small searching bots.
    Part of the bots section. Not for newbyes!
  6. [newsfeeds.htm]: How to fetch decent and recent news (part of the "references & tools" for seekers)

  7. [mala_power.htm]: Powerbrowsing!
    by +Mala
    What every seeker should know
    PowerBrowsing means browsing the Web seeing only what you chose to see. Even if this might seem an easy thing to do, it is not and it will become harder and harder in the future... unless, of course, you become "PowerBrowsers"
    Part of the searching essays & of the evaluating results sections.
  8. [../realicra/steal_this_book.htm]: STEAL THIS BOOK! A reality cracking Handbook.
    But again, the dictionary of law fails us. Murder in a uniform is heroic, in a costume it is a crime. False advertisements win awards, forgers end up in jail. Inflated prices guarantee large profits while shoplifters are punished. Politicians conspire to create police riots and the victims are convicted in the courts. Students are gunned down and then indicted by suburban grand juries as the trouble-makers. A modern, highly mechanized army travels 9,000 miles to commit genocide against a small nation of great vision and then accuses its people of aggression. Slumlords allow rats to maim children and then complain of violence in the streets. Everything is topsy-turvy.
    by Abbie Hoffman, part of the [reality cracking] section.

  11. [p2P_shin.htm]: The crazy world of P2P applications or How I learned to hate KaZaA but love eMule

WARNING
My servers are of course configured to monitor activity and deny access to sites that violate the netiquette guidelines. Continued rapid-fire requests from any site after access has been denied (for instance through a 403 Access denied HTTP response) will be interpreted as a network attack attempt and will find an according response... without hesitation and without further warning.
In most cases such erroneus request-processes are run by well-intentioned but thoughtless neophytes, ignorant of common sense, yet at times there have been outright attacks against my sites.
I have no intention of inconveniencing in any way my many readers just because a small handful of incapable morons, with neither interest in nor understanding of my actual content, is utterly incapable of abiding common netetiquette guidelines.
This said, if some specific application, or private mirror, or legitimate spider, requires relaxation of the above guidelines, contact [me] in advance for any attempted download. I'll most probably allow it.
Note that if you misbehave you will earn an automated retaliation: my systems administrators are not responsible for the consequences of ANY automated download attempt that should try to violate the above principles.
