So, in all seriousness, what happened? In plain english, no jokes. Somebody turned something on and it blew up? <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/4/1 Aaron Muszalski <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sfslim@gmail.com">sfslim@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

<br>
We are writing from the future to alert you to a possible<br>
chronosynclastic shockwave which may reach you sometime in the next 13<br>
- ø hours (Sorry about the imprecision. The temporal calculus affinity<br>
group hasn't been able to consent on a single value for the wave<br>
function yet.) This shockwave - something of misnomer, really, as it<br>
more accurately a boson ripple caused by the premature collapsing of a<br>
series of temporal wave functions - may cause minor damage localized<br>
around the spatial coordinates of the wave's point source, in this<br>
case the original "83c workdesk". For it is upon this cherished<br>
artifact that our TimeBridge will first be activated.<br>
<br>
The TimeBridge - a QuantumAduino powered<br>
chronosynclastic-infindibulator we purchased in kit form from Babbage<br>
Fried (Limor's grandson) - was momentarily switched on during our<br>
weekly meeting by an overzealous board member, who felt rather<br>
strongly that the people in the TimeBridge's target era* should also<br>
be included in the consensus process regarding the device's<br>
activation. Needless to say, Intelligence Appelbaum has been<br>
appropriately reprimanded for his actions, and has been denied use of<br>
his vatbody (and all other physical manipulators and IO systems) for<br>
one month.<br>
<br>
Please use this advance warning to vacate NoiseBridge for the next 13<br>
- ø hours. If this is not possible, we suggest that you at least keep<br>
fire extinguishers on hand, and operate your individual computing<br>
clouds on atmospheric nanopower only, rather than connected to the<br>
main feeds. The Wikipedia corpus on boson ripples also mentions that<br>
cell damage in vatbodies and other biological entities may be<br>
minimized by increasing the amount of temporal buffer molecules in the<br>
bloodstream, such as ethanol. The corpus goes on to suggest that this<br>
can effectively be achieved by ingesting a substance referred to as<br>
"beer". So, if you have any "beer" on hand, you may wish to drink it.<br>
<br>
Our apologies for any disturbances this will have caused. Consensus<br>
discussions surrounding any further activations of the TimeBridge have<br>
been tabled until next week's meeting. If all goes well, hopefully we<br>
will have met you all by now.<br>
<br>
Most sincerely,<br>
<br>
NoiseBridge ChronoSIG members<br>

was founded, thus planting the seeds for the global hacker revolution<br>
of the 2060's and the global anarchist utopia it brought about.<br>
