Finally finished some of the guides and project pages I’ve been writing on! Be sure to check them out.

Also, I would like to mention something Bre Pettis is working on these days; The history of the Chaos Computer Club. Check out part 1 and part 2 on his blog. I wont repeat the general presentation of the CCC here, but could not resist quoting this gem:

It became a crime to connect anything besides a telephone to the telephone network. If caught, you could go to prison for 5 years for hooking up a modem without an official seal. It was felt that having a computer answer a phone was illegal. The CCC confronted this by asking, “Would it be ok to have a cat answer the phone?” When they got a confused, but positive answer, they built a contraption made of Lego and a Fischer-Technique model sets that would lift the phone and place it on an acoustic coupler. They called it “The Cat.”
