[I just love k-k00l TEXT GRAFIX!!11!1!, don't you? -Ed.]
|
||
|
||
A note regarding some things you might be wondering about. All the above info
|
||
specified will be mentioned at the end (^Z, EOF) of this file, for those of
|
||
you who wonder about such things. For the rest of you (like me) who don't
|
||
really care what's what about a textfile, so long as it exists and is able to
|
||
be read clearly, let's get started.
|
||
|
||
.:The Official Beginning Part 1:.
|
||
:.What Is PHido PHreaks?.:
|
||
|
||
PHido PHreaks (note the rather demandingly specific capitalization feat
|
||
attempted herein, which nobody except we should worry about) is a group of
|
||
people. These people have a few things in common, namely:
|
||
|
||
1) They all own computers equipped with modems.
|
||
2) They have a strong sense of adventure.
|
||
3) With a very few noted exceptions, like Silver Ghost, they're very liberal.
|
||
4) They all like to think they have a fantastic sense of humor and use it to
|
||
devastating effect at times.
|
||
5) There is no fifth reason, but I like five better than four.
|
||
|
||
These people have banded together for some unknown reason. (Actually, there
|
||
IS a real reason, but I forgot it. Oh wait a minuet (no "SP?").
|
||
Ah yes. Due to all these characteristics they have in common, they like to
|
||
sit down and use their creative juices in a constructive effort, commonly known
|
||
as "writing textfiles". Each one of said textfiles is unique in some strange
|
||
way, but only if you try to think along the same lines as the writers. Which can
|
||
make for some interesting side effects on the part of the reader.
|
||
One of these effects is known as "thinking".
|
||
We here at PH*2 (our own abbreviation; feel free to construct whatever kind
|
||
you choose as long as every known civilized being agrees on it) like to think
|
||
that our textfiles have made the world a better place. In a roundabout sort of
|
||
manner, of course. Our textfiles represent some of the best amateur talent in
|
||
the country (at least on this end of the distribution scale), and can, with a
|
||
little luck, reach many many people with different beliefs, values, and cultures
|
||
(no error! beliefs! really!) and make them all think of something heretofore
|
||
unknown. And THAT is what we're trying to accomplish.
|
||
It's helped quite a bit to always remember than it's a hell of a lot of
|
||
fun, in addition.
|
||
Who writes these files? You're about to find out.
|
||
|
||
|
||
.:Official Part Two:.
|
||
:.An Exercise In Creative Writing Section 102.:
|
||
|
||
This part of the file tries to make up for something most textfiles, if not
|
||
all, sadly lack -- an insight into the minds and personalities of the author(s).
|
||
It's hard with even the best of files to actually get a grip on how the author
|
||
is feeling, or how (s)he thinks (unless it's something like a file I have called
|
||
MEMORIAL.TXT. One of the best I've ever read.), and so, we bring you:
|
||
|
||
--MiniProfiles On PH*2 Members--
|
||
|
||
Thomas Covenant
|
||
|
||
The self appointed leader (well, nobody ever challenged him for the title,
|
||
so who cares). Some of the files he's written: SEXCHANG.TXT, and the "Saga of
|
||
Wendell Timmerman", which you'll probably find as WENDELL.TXT. His favorite
|
||
quote: "Punker, Pagan, and Proud". He favors ripped jeans and half tee shirts,
|
||
or baggy pants and sleeveless.
|
||
|
||
The Silver Ghost
|
||
|
||
Unquestionably one of the top ten file writers in existence. Files he's
|
||
written: "Back In Time", "Trent Learns To Be Nice", "The Children's Guide To
|
||
Magic", and "The Compleat Guide To Applesoft Basic", parts 1 and 2. For his
|
||
daily dress, it's jeans and tshirt time -- for debate and forensic tournaments,
|
||
it's the "Miami Vice" look, complete with bright blue tie and sparkling white
|
||
pants/sport coat combo. His favorite quote: "Gravity sucks".
|
||
|
||
Anonymous Mechanic
|
||
|
||
Senior phreak advisor and founding member. He's written for Phrack once,
|
||
and been in the Phrack Gossip once. He hopes to have a new file in both the
|
||
next Phrack and the upcoming LOD/H Technical Journal (second issue). He's not
|
||
too big on file writing, but still has a place. Why? He's the only member old
|
||
enough to buy beer. Favorite quote: "The orc hits! You die... --More--" Clothes
|
||
favored: Anything that's out of fashion.
|
||
|
||
|
||
.:Official Part Three:.
|
||
:.The Conclusion.:
|
||
|
||
This is the part of the file where I beat around the bush for around ten
|
||
paragraphs or so before I outright tell you that I have nothing more of any
|
||
importance to say. But I'm more honest than that. The only thing coming up is
|
||
all that information I mentioned in the beginning, which a lot of you may want
|
||
to skip. Stay safe and skate hard.
