  Call of Duty 4 addiction   Gaming (0)

  I thought it was only appropriate that I post something about COD4 here. I’m sure by now everyone has heard the hype surrounding this game, and rightfully so.
  I had first rented it when it had come out and only played through the single player campaign. I had to return it before diving into the multiplayer. [...]

  it’s been a minute- so the blacks say   Gaming, Rant!, Work (0)

  PS3 Warhawk is becoming a piece of shit   Gaming (0)

  I waited a while to post about this, a week even. I thought I’d be fair and let them try to work out some shit before I rant about it but now its become ridiculous.
  Warhawk is an ‘online’ only multiplayer game for PS3. It’s similar to Socom but has more of an arcade style. oh [...]

  Bioshock demo   Gaming (0)

  everyone has their own opinion on this one, and everyone was quick to let everyone know too. the game came out late sunday but most weren’t able to play it till sometime monday- I guess thats what happens when you have millions of people trying to download a 1+ gig file at the same time.

  UT3 woes   Gaming (0)

  with the release of UT3 around the corner a lot of gamers like myself are faced with some important financial questions… like, what version should I buy (ps3/pc), should I use the controller (ps3) or a keyboard/mouse combo. or maybe just get the PC version but then your forced to upgrade.
  I read in an interview [...]

  PS3 WHINE   Gaming, Rant! (0)

  for you who are new to my blog, let me start off by saying I’m not a fan boy to any console. so I’m not trying to bash PS3 blah blah blah. I only make this fore mention this because after plenty of research on the the PS3 I couldn’t find anything negative about it. [...]

  my new ps3 is killing me   Gaming, Hardware, Rant! (0)

  I got a new PS3 yesterday as an early birthday present from the girlfriend. I couldn’t be more excited, but after updating the systems firmware a very high pitched noise started to emit from the console…
  the sound is much like when you pitch up a radio frequency or something of that sort in your ear. [...]

  embarrassing time at bestbuy   Gaming, Rant! (0)

  I was at BestBuy this morning because I seen on IGN that The Darkness was suppose to be out. I knew it’d be a waste of time because no one ever puts out games until Wednesday, Tuesday if your lucky. You rarely get a Tuesday release unless your very close to where they ship from.
  I [...]

The Under Paid Technician

an eye into the life of FonePhux, a telecommunications technician.

about

I'm FonePhux, some might know me as the creator and editor of Amerikan Youth (sigmonic.com) and #FoneFoo on 2600net. There was a time when all phreaks wanted to do is learn more about the telecommunications industry. For some of us it was a hobby or a phase, for me it became an obsession and eventually my profession. Unfortuantly it wasn't as luxurious as it seemed... Your about to read the daily grind of a service technician.
