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

*Reworked exercise in Leuven:
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
