A regularly published podcast by a self-described hacker, curmudgeon and hacktivist about the practice and profession of programming drawing on over a decade of professional experience and a lifetime spent hacking, the intersection of politics and society with technology and anything else clever, elegant or funny that catches my mind as a die hard technology geek.

TCLP 2010-07-07 Will We Ever Have Effective Complex Privacy Controls? (Comment Line 240-949-2638)
This is a feature cast, an episode of The Command ...
This is a feature cast, an episode of The Command Line Podcast. Listener feedback this week is from quite a few folks. Matt wrote in about outliners, asking what I do in particular to bend vim to this task. I use a vimrc line like "autocmd BufEnter,BufNew *.notes set sw=4 ts=4 expandtab spell tw=0 foldmethod=indent smartindent". Colin posted a comment about AAC and chapter marks. John had a much more incisive comment on my switching to an open stack segment. Ian also wrote about outliners, suggesting org-mode and in particular a couple of screencasts. And Max shared his experiences switching to Linux not once, but twice. The hacker word of the week this week is filter. The feature this week is a rant digging into the question of whether we'll ever develop effective controls that match our complex expectations of privacy and digging into the source of that complexity. I mention a couple of posts by danah boyd, some criticism of the demands made of Facebook by privacy advocates, my reading of Clay Shirky's "Here Comes Everybody", and small world networks.

TCLP 2010-07-04 A Declaration of Independence for Cyberspace (Comment Line 240-949-2638)
This is a feature cast, an episode of The Command ...
This is a feature cast, an episode of The Command Line Podcast. Rather than try to shoe horn a full news cast in, amongst the weekend's festivities, I figured I would share a reading of a piece inspired by the Holiday here in the US but more appropriate to an audience on the net: A Declaration of Independence for Cyberspace, original penned by John Perry Barlow in 1996. The music I used underneath it is track 34 from Nine Inch Nails' Ghosts, used under a CC BY-NC-SA license.

This is a feature cast, an episode of The Command Line Podcast. I will save listener feedback for the next show. There is no hacker word of the week this week due to the length of the feature.
