[H-GEN] Julian Assange - born to be wild?

[Carl Adams]

I was recently browsing my distro's repo for interesting new items and  
came across one which "provides a fast unix command line interface to a  
variety of popular WWW search engines and other artifacts of power. It  
reclaims google, altavista, babelfish, dejanews, freshmeat, research  
index, slashdot and many others from the false-prophet, pox-infested  
heathen lands of html-forms, placing these wonders where they belong, deep  
in unix heartland, as god loving extensions to the shell."

Intrigued, I installed it, and found that it delivers as promised -  
simple, but quick and effective. I then grabbed the developer's URL from  
the RPM package, got a redirection, and found an unexpected answer to my  
curiosity:

"Surfraw was originally written by Julian Assange. It is now maintained  
and improved by a team of programmers based around the surfraw-devel  
mailing list."

The project webpage is at http://surfraw.alioth.debian.org

Seems like our notorious Aussie was born with rebellion in his blood. All  
power to Wikileaks!

Carl.
