Files/exercises/debugging/aquinas
What is a stored program? Where is it stored? (and meta)? Looking at files in different ways (Anita + Martino)

from Joseph/a/a:
"aquine - searching paranoia and serendipity"

it was about software that observes the execution of software. not the
output. not the structure. it was about the process it self, therefore
the reference to Thomas of Aquin.
Once during the great technogalactic software observatory I compiled
cryptic notes from the pad to a man page(in the attachment called
"aquine.1"). you can run it with "$ man -l aquine.1"

See: http://observatory.constantvzw.org/documents/joseph/aquine.1

The Walk-in clinic
Do you  suffer from the disappearance of your software into the cloud, feel  oppressed by unequal user privilege, or experience the torment of  software-ransom of any sort? Bring your devices and interfaces to the  World Trade Center! With the help of a clear and in-depth session, at  the Techno-Galactic Walk-In Clinic we guarantee immediate results.
The  Walk-In Clinic provides free hands-on observations to software curious  people of all kinds. A wide range of professional and amateur  practitioners will provide you with Software-as-a-Critique-as-a-Service  on the spot. Available services range from immediate interface critique,  collaborative code inspection, data dowsing, various forms of network  analyses, unusability testing, identification of unknown viruses, risk  assessment, opening of black-boxes and more.
Free software observations provided. Last intake at 16:45
