Aaaaaand now we have a baby little ADSL DSLAM in the CO homelab :3

ET&Y is now offering very competitive rates for home internet services (limit 12 customers only, actual speeds may vary).  

Really really need to pick up a telecom rack to stuff all this year into; the table is getting cramped and we don't even have the DSX patchbay, HDSL mechanics shelf, or -48V plant supply in there yet.

I have to admit, I’d never heard of “Telefacsimile” before... learned something new 🙃

Wonder if there would be any interest in [FPV] streaming some retro CO phone lab tinkering.

Most of the phone messaging/calling I do is with my wife. Both working from home we’re usually in close range. Thinking about installing a 1970s-style intercom system between house, barn and home office. If we had a CB radio in the car we could wire a transceiver into the intercom and have a pretty slick system that covers our remote communication needs. Do away with these distracting smartphones and pricey data contracts.

It’d be good weird fun + a big quality-of-life upgrade. #othernetworks

next up is this incredible small, black book by Mindy Seu the size of a smartphone that turns Instagram Stories (which evolved into a lecture-performance) into a performance script. it is a deeply moving, feminist account of the early Web that includes some painfully pointed moments such as Seu's first time meeting 70 year Ted Nelson as a 20-something, where he noted she would make a great option for a third wife #othernetworks
now the semester is almost over, I have a bit of time to dwell with the beautiful, compelling books accumulating on my desk. the next object of my admiration: Internet Phone Book / a directory for exploring the vast poetic web...almost like the hidden #othernetworks in the web itself
what a delight to finally have a chance to read Jazmyn Crosby's beautiful addition to the #othernetworks universe: an interspecies communication operations manual! she made this gorgeous hand-bound zine as part of her residency at the @mediaarchaeology.bsky.social 💚

In continued phone-nerdery: Welcome to the Tandem Straylight.

Let's get some old CO gear talking to each other  ☎️

It has been a good, silly, evening, filled with 66 blocks, phones, T1 circuits, and glittering hardware.

Need to order (find?) some plug-in surge modules for this building terminal.

Safe to say things are getting deeply nerdy, here.
