Join Puffy Hood and his Funny Fish as they take on the Sherriff (an unelected leader) and other evil forces of the draconian government!
Two years ago we became involved with the University of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do security research and development .. on things that we were already intending to do. We provided ideas, wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology; DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the promise that our freedom to operate as we wished was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil forces of government, and needed to be careful. A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly and without warning decided to withdraw that funding; they also aggressively backed out of contractual obligations. Many articles in the press followed regarding this sudden manuevre. Apparently this hoopla happened because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the theft of oil. The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this: "As a result of the DARPA review of the project, and due to world events and the evolving threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states, the Government on April 21 advised the University to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of the project." That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists! We had lost financial support, but the release of the statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free of any perceived obligation to such crazy people. Since the termination came near natural contract termination (about 4 months remained), less damage than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event proceeded as planned. We even had t-shirts made with "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale). We could not make stories like this up. So instead, we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale of Robin Hood. |

Sir Puffy of Ramsay was a wandrin' Through forests of seaweed all alone He had found the crusades were an endless charade So for now he called Nothing Hack home One day he met Little Bob of Beckley Beat him fair on a log-in by staff Clever chums they did find other fish of their kind Thwarting evil with humppa and math Now trouble was a brewin' when the Good King was away The Sheriff came a callin' for the poor to pay With CD's and their freedom for to share online And burning down the village cause he was a slime So Puffy and his buddies took the booty from the rich and turned it into a system to protect poor fish Sent out by Hook or a Wim to the teaming schools Town cryers were on fire cause the crypto ruled! Chorus: They called it "BSD"! And "Open" because it's always free So raise up your glass and three cheers to the Funny Fish for never running and making something good! And here's to Puffy Hood! Aaaw! Word to the sea y'all The Hood's a bad ball Ya underneath he's a heathen and a traitor He can take from you all and say "later!" Think he's a hero? Naw he ain't lovin' ya He gettin' richer than Bill Gates and Dubaya Read the Wanted poster of Sheriff Plac-o-derm fool We gettin' back the booty or we take away your worms too Yo! Word to the classes Put on your glasses I guess the Sheriff is King till this passes Times are a changin' and movin' so fast He says "Give me your freedom, I'll grasp it and pass it to brass who can hash it for weapons of massive distraction. And hand me the bastards that brashly amassed from the cash happy faction of oily and gassy co-action". No! Don't hand em dick, grab a stick, keep attacking for freedom and hack till the King cometh back and leave em' Then trouble was a rollin' with an army on the run The Sheriff came a callin' for for the spikey one And took back all the booty Puff intended for the poor The Arch-a-thon went on despite the mighty roar Puff snuck into the castle, and found the treasure hill And also found Maid Marlin held against her will He loaded all the loot to give it back and big surprise He took the maiden too, 'cause she was easy on the eyes Chorus: They called it "BSD"! And "Open" because it's always free So raise up your glass and three cheers to the Funny Fish for never running and making something good! And here's to Puffy Hood! |

Like other Barbarians before him, Puff has had to face some pretty crazy challenges. This song is an allegory of the recent difficulties we went through dealing with Sun, who refused our request for documentation about their UltraSPARC III processors. We want documentation, because these are the fastest processors with a per-page eXecute bit in the MMU, needed to fully support our new W^X security feature. In the meantime, the AMD Hammer has come onto the scene, and this processor supports an eXecute bit in 64-bit mode. And it is going to be faster... |
Deep through the mists of time Gaze to the crystal ball Back to the age of darkness Black was the protocol
A King ruled the web with fear
Down the sewer pipes of Hell
And there he found
Then in a dream Xor requested he
At the tower Puff appealed
Broke down the guard
Come the Sun King blade ablur |

Goldflipper With golden skin and flippers as sharp as a knife He's the machine Designed to dismember your life
And the fish
Cyborg on a mission (short instrumental intro)
You'll need some machismo to
But Flip's here for fun
She's all over Puff cause he's
Oh double seven
The women are fond
Goldflipper is gone |

Don't tell anyone I'm free Don't tell anyone I'm free
During these hostile and trying times and what-not
I'm secure by default
They that can give up liberty to obtain a little safety
