The SURFPUNK Technical Journal is a dangerous multinational hacker zine
|
|
originating near BARRNET in the fashionable western arm of the northern
|
|
California matrix. Quantum Californians appear in one of two states,
|
|
spin surf or spin punk. Undetected, we are both, or might be neither.

By the way, I have been informed that the
|
|
Northeast Reigonal Data Center (that's us) will
|
|
be going down from 06.00 to 08.00 tomorrow so
|
|
the SuraNet d00dz can test a new T1 link.
