Anyone going? Hi Stephen - my email has been down all day, so I never heard from anyone and I guess my earlier message didn't get out. I didn't head over there, but if anyone did I hope they weren't alone! -Andy From amoore at mooresystems.com Tue Sep 9 06:02:07 2008 From: amoore at mooresystems.com (Andrew Moore) Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2008 08:02:07 -0500 Subject: [Kc] September Meeting In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <6c70d2980809090602j45936dcfw81f83afe436884d5@mail.gmail.com> Sorry you won't be able to make it, Jonathan. Is anyone else interested in getting together this evening at 7pm at Barley's in Shawnee? I recently worked to start using Log4perl in another project, and I could take some time to explain how I think it's a useful module if anyone is interested. -A On Mon, Sep 8, 2008 at 11:00 PM, Jonathan Otsuka wrote: > I will not be able to attend the meeting tomorrow. > > Sent from my iPhone 3G > _______________________________________________ > kc mailing list > kc at pm.org > http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/kc > From ggoebel at goebel.ws Tue Sep 23 12:56:06 2008 From: ggoebel at goebel.ws (Garrett Goebel) Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2008 15:56:06 -0400 Subject: [Kc] Book Review: Hackerteen Volume 1: Internet Blackout Message-ID: <48D949D6.80302@goebel.ws> Title: Hackerteen Volume 1: Internet Blackout Author: Marcelo Marques and the Hackerteen Team Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Pages: 101 ISBN: 978-0-596-51647-5 Rating: 7/10 Summary: wish fulfillment tween/teen boy hacker fantasy Read on for a tag team daughter/father review of O'Reilly's Hackerteen Volume 1: Internet Blackout [10 year old daughter] Hackerteen is a comic book about a boy named Yago, who has exceptional computer skills. His worried and clueless parents enroll him in a school for hackers, which has a reputation for teaching hackers to use their skills for good (white hat hacker school). I think it was a very good idea to make something that kids will read that shows the good side of the word _Hacker_. I personally thought it should have had some twists or something of the sort that would make it less predictable. I can see that the girl that Yago helped out is going to turn into something but she is obviously not a hacker. There is a girl hacker on the Yago's team but she doesn't really do anything. All we girls out here need girl role models. All in all I think it's a good idea yet it still needs a little help to get it on the right path. [Her old man's take] Hackerteen is a good guy hacker story for tween and teen boys. Young boy becomes good guy uberhacker, fights bad guys, faces moral dilemmas, saves the family, and tries to win the girl. The plot and character development are fairly 2 dimensional. The other downside is that girls are portrayed as weak, beautiful, and contribute little beyond needing to be saved. Tossed into the mix are footers with url links for interested kids to find out more about technological and organizational references. There is a lot of not so subtle healthy propaganda against the abuses of big business and central governments. But not much more than the anti-establishment vigilantee leanings you'll find in your typical comic book. Two things I liked very much were that the hero, Yago, isn't perfect. He makes a bad choice and has to deal with the consequences. Also, in the end, the bad guys are defeated not through the heroic efforts of a single individual, but by people working together.
