Hacking before it was cool
- stavros 2y agoActually, hacking when it was cool.
- sonicanatidae 2y agoCool amongst peers, sure, but chicks still never paid any attention to me, even after I started carrying around a DTMF tone generator and the knowledge of how to use it... ;)
- stavros 2y agoYeah but if that's your metric, the only cool thing is leather jackets, motorcycles, and a rejection of authority.
- sonicanatidae 2y agoIt was the metric of the time. I was 13.
- jmkb 2y agoI found that upgrading mine with a full keypad -- including the ABCD column on the right -- did wonders for my rep. And of course a switch to toggle oscillators, so I could send red box tones.
