    The GNU/Stallman diaries. Issue 3.


    Greetings Comrades! Welcome to issue 3 of the GNU/Stallman diaries!

    Last time on the GNU/Stallman diaries: Myself and my best friend Eric decided to visit the local Zoo to see the butterflies (which I like, as you know). Eric had just visited the toilets and we were about to move on...

    After what seemed like hours we finally made it to the butterfly enclosure. You see, poor Eric has Downs syndrome which has caused (amongst other ailments) dwarfism so he walks kinda slow and lopsided. But finally we were here!

    Millions and millions of butterflies!! They were dancing in the air around us! I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. I whipped out my bone flute and started playing on it right then and there! I started to do a little jig and dance around the enclosure deftly fingering my bone flute. Even Eric started to jig, but it was all lopsided and funny looking - like a dancing Quasimodo! ROFL!

    It was at about that exact moment that the Zoo Keeper tapped me on the shoulder.

    "Excuse me Sir," he said. "You're going to have to stop that."

    "Pardon me?," I replied

    "Put your damn clothes back on and get the hell out of here!," he screamed at me.

    Well! I must say I was not impressed with the Keepers right-wing neo-fascist Nazi attitude so we left and went to the bar for some Cheap Asian Beer!

    THE END.

    (Note to self: Take Eric's bib next time we go to the bar - the drooling left a right mess!)

    That's all for Issue 3! See you next ti

    Greetings Comrades! Welcome to issue 2 of the GNU/Stallman diaries!

    This issue contains part 1 of a 2 part story. I had to split it into two because GNU/Hurd keeps crashing! :( <--- thats a sad face! Eric showed me it on his AOL account. Look at it sideways and you'll see!

    Yesterday my good friend Eric called me on the telephone and suggested I take a break from writing GNU/Hurd and that we take a visit to the Zoo. I told him he was crazy and that GNU/Hurd and the glorious peoples revolution it will create were far more important!

    "But Dick," said Eric. "They have a butterfly show on today."

    Well! If it's got butterflies, I'm there! So off we went to the Zoo!

    Eric is a little slow, he has Downs Syndrome or something, so the walk to the Zoo took about 3 hours. When we finally arrived I saw huge posters covered in pretty butterflies! I was so excited!

    No sooner had we walked in the gates when Eric needed to go to the toilet. I told him to go before we left but would he listen? Oh no of course not! Luckily I had my bone flute so I got it out and had a quick play whilst waiting for Eric.

    Poor Eric, he recently lost his job. Something to do with carpentry at a hospital I think. Planks or boards had something to do with it and it may have been a veterans hospital. I'm none too sure though. I'm always too busy with the GNU/Hurd and filosi^H^H^H^H^H^H philosa^H^H^H^H^H^H^H thinking about the glorious uprising of the oppressed working class and unwashed masses rising up in a glorious peoples revolution of Cheap Software against the evil tryanny of expensive supported corporate closed software that has created a world of bureaucratic mind control of the masses of oppressed peopl...

    Errr. Sorry about that. Now where was I...

    Oh yes - butterflies! Everyone knows I like butterflies. I have a big paper one stuck to my computer that I made and colored in myself. I like to look at it while I play with my bone flute.

    Eric finally finished his toilet business and we could finally get to see what we had come for.

    Hello my good friends and welcome to the GNU/Stallman diaries! I'm your host, GNU/Stallman and I will be keeping you up to date with the wonderful world of Cheap Software.

    I managed to do some more work on the GNU/Hurd this week and will give you a run down on my progress in this issue.

    After booting my trusty PC I fired up the nice GUI (that's a GNU/User Interface) by typing 'win'. My good friend Eric told me I could add that to the AUTOEXIT DOT BAT file but I told him I didn't like bats, only butterflies. Silly Eric! He can be a real goose sometimes!

    Anyway, I decided to focus on security as that seems to be a hot topic these days. What with that Internet thing and all. To secure GNU/Hurd I thought it best to require the user to login with a name and password. This should keep out all the naughty people, like the ones that ruined my other machine at the Cheap Software Foundation!

    After about 5 hours of programming and debugging (I hate bugs! Unless their butterflies of course! ROFL!) I had a working login system. In the spirit of Cheap Software I present the source code below. Enjoy!

    10 REM GNU/Hurd (c) 1982,1983,1984,1985,1986,1987,
    20 REM 1988,1989,1990,1991,1992,1993,1994,1995,1996,
