SOCIAL

Here at media underground you'll be delighted to know that we don't do popular social media. If you're looking for me on Facebook or Xitter then you're clearly an idiot.

If you want to get in touch and have a conversation you'll either have to use your brain, come to my local pub in the Nothern Highlands, or use one of the trusted protocols in order to establish contact.

Here's a list of the protocols I use:

Email
Yes that's right, the good ol' humble email. You all have an email address that you probably know how to use. I just hope for your sake that it's not a Gmail account or that you access it through a web interface instead of using a proper email client. You can contact me here, but don't expect a speedy response:
mort (at) media-underground.net

IRC
I know, right!? Internet Relay Chat is still an actual thing, and very popular it is too (amongst geeks). I have an IRC core running 24/7 on a Raspberry Pi, so 'The Official Media Underground Chatroom' should always be available. Leave a message and I'll see it at some point.
Username: psybernaut
Chatroom: #thesubverse
Server: irc.libera.chat

Chess By Post
If you play chess then you can contact me anytime via the chat feature. The app has a free version and is available for both Android and iPhone.
Username: supertzar

WipE'out"
I'm not much of a gamer, but I make an exception for Wipeout Omega Collection. It's a high speed, antigravity combat racer and you'll find me playing it most evenings for an hour or two on the PlayStation Network.
Username: Septimus_Keen

RSS
Although this is only one way communication, you can get updates to Terminals 1 & 2 by clicking on the orange icon at the foot of the main page and importing the URL into your preferred RSS reader.

ABOUT
>_

On October 5th 2001 media underground was born. Since that time the site has gone through many alterations and upgrades in an attempt to keep up to date with the latest advancements from Web 1.0 through to 2.0 and on towards Web 3.0.

This process has been completely fucking futile as big tech and social media have dominated the internet and turned it into an abominable shit show. So much so that over the last few years media underground practically went silent. Basically I couldn't be bothered trying to maintain a website when every fuckwit with a laptop or mobile phone jumped ship to Facebook and Xitter. Well, you all got what you fucking deserved.

I did try and warn you that it wasn't going to be good, but you all went ahead anyway... and now you've lost your freaking minds.

As a result - and as a statement that I don't give a shit about your modern internet - I've redesigned this site to be fully underground retro. Back to good old Web 1.0 when the internet was a wild west for everyone with a dial up modem and enough savvy and technical ability to get online and make a presence there.

So welcome weird wanderer of the digital wasteland to media underground. What you'll find here will be uncensored comments and links to shit that I find interesting (for my own reference and amusement) for no other reason than the sheer hell of it.
