- <h1>A day of distractions</h1>
- <p>Day 00245: Saturday, 2015 November 07</p>
- </header>
- <p>
- My plan for the day had been to sort onion addresses generated by eschalot, but I did not manage to accomplish that.
- The first part of my day was spent unloading boxes from the trip to Springfield as I thought it would, but then I ended up sorting food items such as canned and boxed goods.
- Before even finishing, I ended up going to my mother's school with her to help out in setting up her classroom, where I spent most of the day.
- We found that someone had come in and screwed her shelved to the wall without her permission and without alerting her to the fact beforehand.
- These are wooden shelves that she herself owns, not the school district, and they now have holes in them that she did not want.
- They also screwed right through he bulletin board fabric, putting a large hole in that as well.
- </p>
- <p>
- While at the school, I decided to turn off the automatic checking of my email every minute because the battery drain is just too much.
- The automatic checking has dropped my battery life down to about eight hours causing the mobile's power level to drop almost to nothing as I sleep.
- While we are out and separated, it might be useful to have such a setting enabled, but for daily life, it is more of a problem than a boon.
- I also turned on the setting that allows Orbot to act as a non-exit relay node to give a bit back to the <abbr title="The Onion Router">Tor</abbr> network.
- </p>
- <p>
- Once we left the school, we went to a Geocaching event.
- She had not told me what was happening there until we were on the premises.
- Otherwise, I would have been more reluctant to come; it was a film screening.
- Once the event started though, I learned more: these were films submitted to Groundspeak and we were to vote on which one was the best.
- My plan had been to quietly avoid casting a vote as I cannot in good conciseness vote on proprietary videos as they no doubt all would be.
- I kept my eye out for mentions of licenses in the credits though, and sure enough, one said that it had been released under <abbr title="Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported">CC BY 3.0</abbr>, so I voted on that one.
- I was the only person to cast a vote in favor of this video, so it lost.
- After the event had ended, I asked to take a closer look at the credits as they had rolled by quickly and I wanted to verify the facts.
- I wanted to make sure I had the license and license version correct before writing about it.
- Much to my dismay though, I found that the license did not apply to the video submission as a whole.
- Rather, the video submitter had borrowed one of <a href="http://incompetech.com/">Kevin MacLeod</a>'s songs, and as such, had included his name, Web address, and license in the credits.
- It is awesome that Kevin releases his work under a free license, don't get me wrong, but it would have been nice if the entire video had been covered by a free license as well.
- </p>
- <p>
- Upon returniing home, it was late and there was no time for sorting onions keys.
- I did perform a quick scan though and found that the key for <code>//chattingwzknqyst.onion</code> ("CHATTINGwzknqYST.onion") had been generated.
- If I were ever to use a separate onion address for TorChat, this would be a pretty good one to choose.
- </p>
- <p>
- It sounds like I will be working in the classroom again tomorrow, so I do not anticipate getting anything productive done toward any of my own tasks for the time being.
- </p>
- <p>
- My <a href="/a/canary.txt">canary</a> still sings the tune of freedom and transparency.
