  road trip   Uncategorized (0)

  I’m sitting in bed at a place called Microtel Inn & Suites. it looked nice from outside and the lobby looked alright but looks can be deceiving. The first room I was given was dirty. It looked as if someone was still living in it- bed unmade, dirty towels in the bathroom, etc etc. I’m annoyed [...]

  I’ve been rick rolled   Uncategorized (0)

  Well, I recently (last Tuesday night) picked up this baby. I find myself browsing craigslist pretty offen, looking at computers, electronics and games. Someone local was selling that tv.

  much ram required   Uncategorized (0)

  I’ve been noticing a trend lately, that is with applications seeming to require an ass load of ram.
  back in the day applications had to be created with memory in mind because there wasn’t much available, today this step seems to be completely ignored. so what if your application takes up half your system resources- you [...]

  Jim Norton’s Happy Endings   Uncategorized (0)

  I had just finished Happy Endings last night. It’s a collections of stories by comic Jim Norton. stories as in life experiences, random shit, it reads much like a blog.. maybe even like the one your reading right now.

  I spent a good portion of my morning at some fat perverted old mans house. he sat behind me and watched my every move and I shuffled through his computer trying to figure out what the fuck was wrong.

  learn english. k thx.   Uncategorized (2)

  yesterday I show up at a spanish speaking woman’s apartment who has an internet issue. she just sort of motions me to follow her upstairs because she obviously can’t speak english. I proceed to investigate things since she won’t be of much help.
  one of their largest problems was how they had their cable ran all [...]

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.
