So. What Now?

I took a few days off from writing any articles, partly to try to make a serious dent in transcribing the Comes v. Microsoft exhibits. We're in the home stretch, and a quiet weekend, marking on a curve, is perfect. I know there's lots going on, other than work.
I also needed to take some time to think about the recent discovery about Novell taking money from Microsoft and contractually agreeing to show up at Open XML standards meetings and events. Should Groklaw stop helping people like that, I asked? Is it time to shut Groklaw down? If not, is there a way to carve out helping Linux and FOSS, which is what we are about, from helping self-interested executives and board members so that in essence we end up being used by them so they get larger piles of money because we worked ourselves to the bone and then they repay the community with such a deal as this?

NAME
tv_grab_ch_search - Grab TV listings for Switzerland (from tv.search.ch webpage). SYNOPSIS
tv_grab_ch_search --help tv_grab_ch_search [--config-file FILE] --configure [--gui OPTION] tv_grab_ch_search [--config-file FILE] [--output FILE] [--quiet] [--days N] [--offset N] tv_grab_ch_search --list-channels tv_grab_ch_search --capabilities tv_grab_ch_search --version DESCRIPTION
Output TV listings for several channels available in Switzerland and (partly) central Europe. The data comes from tv.search.ch. The grabber relies on parsing HTML so it might stop working at any time. First run tv_grab_ch_search --configure to choose, which channels you want to download. Then running tv_grab_ch_search with no arguments will output listings in XML format to standard output. --configure Ask for each available channel whether to download and write the configuration file. --config-file FILE Set the name of the configuration file, the default is ~/.xmltv/tv_grab_ch_search.conf. This is the file written by --configure and read when grabbing. --gui OPTION Use this option to enable a graphical interface to be used. OPTION may be 'Tk', or left blank for the best available choice. Additional allowed values of OPTION are 'Term' for normal terminal output (default) and 'TermNoProgressBar' to disable the use of Term::ProgressBar. --output FILE Write to FILE rather than standard output. --days N Grab N days. The default is fourteen. --offset N Start N days in the future. The default is to start from now on (= zero). --quiet Suppress the progress messages normally written to standard error. --list-channels Write output giving <channel> elements for every channel available (ignoring the config file), but no programmes. --capabilities Show which capabilities the grabber supports. For more information, see <http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/XmltvCapabilities> --version Show the version of the grabber. --help print a help message and exit. SEE ALSO
