Well, suppose it's about time I posted here...
I'm nwbell, and I'm a n00b. I'm 19 years old, and am a small business owner / hack of all trades IRL (computers/networking, PBXes, and advertising are my main areas). I live and work up in teh 320.
I don't recall how I found the PLA, but I suppose it probably started after reading some textfiles I found on a customer's machine back in the summer of '04. Being as I love technical challenges, I was fascinated by reading The Jolly Roger's far-out claims, and started looking for other info to compare it to. I started doing some field phreaking in a nearby small town, and got to know the infrastructure of the fone company. Somewhere in there I found Cal's, and it was all downhill from there.
About a year ago, I started PLA-Minnesota, one of the suckiest sites on the planet. Shortly after that, I helped pull off the fone mobbing of a local (to me) radio station's on-air auction.
Then, around the time New Cal's came out, I got busy with "real" stuff and fell out of the "PLA scene". Since I wasn't wild about New Cal's, I started causally reading and posting at Binrev.
Now today, I decided to post a little bit here. I don't know why. I just did.
