Sick as it may seem, at the time of this writing, if you were to
|
||
|
|
use the finger option on your internet service provider, and do a finger
|
||
|
|
of mustaine@wam.umd.edu, you would recieve current information on my account,
|
||
|
|
as well as my real name, phone number on where to reach me, mail adress to
|
||
|
|
contact me, as well as a quote from the "Chronicles of Influenza."
|
||
|
|
The "Chronicles of Influenza" are a collection of my own thoughts
|
||
|
|
concering the computer underground. If you will, it is my own personal
|
||
|
|
Testament to the Underground. There is only one. It is by no means in
|
||
|
|
a state of completion, nor do I wish it ever do be so. It is changed,
|
||
|
|
revised, updated, as I wish.
|
||
|
|
What in the world am I talking about, some may ask? Does this
|
||
|
|
article have direction, or am I rambling? I am forced to ask myself that
|
||
|
|
question to myself. The answer is subjective. This article exists, such
|
||
|
|
as a dance might exist. It is here now, and it's interpretation will
|
||
|
|
exist, in it's own form, by whoever reads this article. The words will
|
||
|
|
always be the same, much as the movements of a dance can always be repeated,
|
||
|
|
but their meaning...their essence, will differ with each reading, or by
|
||
|
|
each viewing. Take now, these few excerpts from my own personal Chronicles.
|
||
|
|
Read them, take them for what they are, and use them if need be. I only
|
||
|
|
refer to their essence. Copyright infringements will occur if that statement
|
||
|
|
is taken literally.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
..on groups..
|
||
|
|
It's funny how there exist groups inside the underground. Whether they
|
||
|
|
be hackers, or phreakers, or even those funky art coders, there are always
|
||
|
|
groups. Warez couriers simply couldn't exist without the concept. They
|
||
|
|
always take care of their own as well. Of course, backstabbing occurs,
|
||
|
|
such is the life in any aspect of life. But aside from that unpleasent
|
||
|
|
abnormality, a bonding not unlike a clanship, or blood brothers, exists.
|
||
|
|
I suggest groups are a necessary form of survival inside the
|
||
|
|
underground. What good is information learned if it is lost with the
|
||
|
|
induvidual? In small masses, the information is distributed to a larger
|
||
|
|
populous. Thus the survival of the information is given a larger chance.
|
||
|
|
There are no secrets worth keeping in the underground.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
..on time..
|
||
|
|
Time is too precious to live inside the underground. Their is life
|
||
|
|
outside the eliteness of your computer. To exist inside the underground
|
||
|
|
just to exist, is to further nothingness. Insights are always better when
|
||
|
|
they are brought from a new perspective. What new ideas come from the same
|
||
|
|
group of induviduals? New experiences lead way to new thoughts. Stagnation
|
||
|
|
is the root of all things boring. I hate boring.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
..on documentation..
|
||
|
|
Necessary, and yet at the same time dated. By the time this is
|
||
|
|
written, the moment is over. The secret is out. The patch is made, and
|
||
|
|
the sytem scrambles to adjust. Make way for technology...you can't make it
|
||
|
|
stop by writing it down.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
..on the "a" in hpacv..
|
||
|
|
An organization to purport anarchy stops itself. The heart of the
|
||
|
|
ideal is exterminated by the body that forms it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
..on intelligence..
|
||
|
|
Not all understand. Not all were meant too. But EVERYONE is
|
||
|
|
welcome the attempt. The underground may be exclusinary by it's own goals,
|
||
|
|
but the right of exclusion is not up for human opinion to decide. Actions
|
||
|
|
speak louder than councils, leaders, and ceo's. Intelligence and will are
|
||
|
|
the mother of sucess.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Remember, take what you have read, and use what you will. There is
|
||
|
|
always more where the mind thinks, and there is always more where the mind
|
||
|
|
does not think. Time is cruel that way. It will never stop and reflect.
|
||
|
|
It will on progress, evolve, and exist.
