dangerous. Enough, in fact, that a friend was recently willing to give me
his old 486 laptop in exchange for helping him set up a Linux server. It's a
nice little 486 with one problem: I still haven't taught it to run a
graphical display. So how can you surf the web when all you can see is text?
Well, let me tell you...

ITMJ readers aware of what I consider best quality resources for IT
independent contractors. This journal entry is about a new Web resource
which you might find a real value. It's called Freelance Technologies, is
localized for various countries, and offers a number of great services.
Freelance Technologies is located in Manhattan.

> Once in a while a piece of software comes across
my screen that makes me feel old, even though on summer days like today I
feel like I'm hardly out of my teens. My selection for today is a true
"golden oldie" program that's been around since the days of CompuServe, that
has since metamorhpasized into the best Usenet Newsgroup downloading,
storage, and sorting utility you can get.
> Lurker 32 is its name. Filing and sorting Newsgroup
posts is its game. It can download entire newsgroups worth of posts, even if
they contain thousands of messages, and store them in its own database,
where you can file and sort them and search through them at you leisure.
>
> The great-grandfather of this program was a nice
little piece called CompuSlave, which let you download and sort posts from
CompuServe and read them offline. Back in the days when we all paid for our
online connections (at 1200 or 2400 baud) by the minute, this saved money.
Now most of us have unlimited, fast online access, but the sheer amount of
stuff and nonsense in Usenet can make it impossible to find what we're
looking for without some kind of help, like Lurker 32, which can help you
separate Newsgroup wheat from Newsgroup chaff.
>
> The real purpose of Lurker isn't recreation. It's a
professional tool that lets you do rapid keyword searches in "help"
newsgroups to find messages that relate to a recent question, instead of
scrolling tediously through message after message until you find a relevant
one. But even if you don't have a professional use for it, Lurker 32 can be
used as a Newsgroup reader and message filing system that is superior to any
other I've ever tried.

> I’m not proud to admit this but I must confess, I absolutely
love all those reality- based shows on Fox. You know which ones I’m talking
about, such as “World’s Scariest Police Chases” or “When Crazed Gerbils
Attack III”. I don’t know exactly what I find so fascinating about the whole
thing but when ever they’re on I’m just glued to my TV set. Forget the
Crisis in Kosovo or politics here at home, if Fox has an hour of train
wrecks or auto crashes I’m there. Oh, and just for the record you can
refrain from sending me e-mail about that because I already realize I’m
pathetic. That aside though, I think it might explain why today’s pick
amuses me so.
