269"Never Work With Amateurs" by The GNN. Before you do what you
have been planning for a while now, please take your time and really
think through a thing or two about the amateur-syndrome. Scary reading
for the optimists.
270"Pray For Me" by Phearless. Pray for who? For Phearless himself?
Or for Phearless and someone else? Well, you better find that out
yourself, by reading this poem. Many of you have probably experienced
the same thing: It is called love.
271"American Nightmares" by The Chief. Probably the most boring
file in this release will take you through the eyes of a narrow-minded
swede, and watch the way he looks at the politics currently sweeping
floors in the United States of America.
272"Drama" by The GNN. Once again we are taught that nothing
is what it seems to be. Perhaps this story will help you keep calm
in all kinds of desperate situations, no matter what. To quote a
famous writer and at the same time putting it simple, Don't Panic.
273"Only The Lonely" by Hedge. Loneliness can be a nice thing. At
least sometimes, when you feel the need to be by yourself. But when
it's not out of your own free will, when nothing grabs you out of
it, it just might be really, really harmful.
274"The Driving Test" by The GNN. There are always more than one
way to reach your goals, as well as skinning a cat. When you've gone
through all the nice and friendly ways, you are bound to end up with
what is explained in this humorous piece.
275"The Wind" by Knyttet. It has been called objective realism. The
idea that something might exist independent of our own beliefs. Here
is a file that examines that, but in a slightly different sense. Worth
reading.
276"The Second Excuse" by The GNN. Our fanatic writer tells you
how things really are in the textfile business. If you are easily
upset by a somewhat negative response to your work, take a valium or
two before reading this otherwise entertaining text.
277"Boy Racer" by Pivic. Boy meets girl. Girl meets boy. Isn't
that nice? The things couples say to each other, the things they do
for each other. Yeah, right. Sometimes, meeting the Right person is
not that right after all. Will you recognize yourself in this essay?
278"Guardians of The Masses" by The GNN. This document will not
teach you anything. The ones this file is about - all of us - can
react in three different ways; _What kind of crap is this?_, _It's
actually true!_ or for the fortunate of you; _So, what's new?_
279"Eric's Trip" by The Chief. Want to know something? Something
you probably did not know before? If you answer yes to both the above
questions, you're probably the only one not knowing. And then you're
probably the person handling this subject in the swedish government.
And then you're the one this file is written for.
280"Hacker's Paradise" by The GNN. Let's talk about the power of
a weapon. A weapon that might become more powerful than any sword, gun
or bomb ever made in the history of man. If this sounds interesting
and perhaps frightening, it is nothing compared to what you will be.
281"Ripped Off - Big Time" by Phearless. Money rules and bullshit
runs, they say. Unfortunately, both bullshit and money seem to be on
their way to rule the net soon. But things could be done to stop that.
This file will tell you why and how.
282"Pray For Us" by The GNN. Just when you thought our general
quality was on a constant rise and being versatile was something
positive, the GNN - merciless as always - throws this at his own
comrade/s.
283"I Just Fell" by Pivic. Benevolent people are rare nowadays.
It's not strange, helping people without second thoughts might just
turn out for the worse, as Pivic has noticed.
284"The Sentence" by The GNN. Imagine a world full of misery,
full of restrictions but yet full of people. Not as hard as one might
think at first is it? In fact, we're probably all living there right
now. The only question is, is it possible to escape it all?
285"Running" by Phearless. Have you done things that you didn't
want to do? Or perhaps wondered if the things you do are really what
you want to do? Hey, I'm not asking you to examine your whole view of
the world! But this short text might make you.
286"Stigma" by The GNN. Some people betray themselves and others
for a living. Seen from the eyes of a writer, this is how his life
became and what he learned from it. It might not be such a bad idea
to compare his story with your own.
287"What Is?" by Phearless. We have nourished a philosopher among
us without even knowing it. Here, he presents you with a load of
thoughts that ought to be read by every human being, now and every time
life gets tricky, rough or even too good. Think about it.
288"Orwell-Was-Ten-Years-Late" by Pivic. Big Brother still haunts
us, even though we haven't really seen him in person. Some people
believe that he won't show up at all. But when you least expect it -
he's here! And what will that look like?
289"uXu Index #22" by The Chief. Changes changes changes. We
all felt that it was time for a change. The copyright notice at the
beginning, and the 'how to find what's new' sections are gone. The
'be a part of the uXu team' has been changed. The list of people who
have written something for us in the past is gone. The Dist Site
list at the beginning is gone and the Dist Site list at the end
has changed because of it. The DSR index is gone. What's left of
it? Well, read it and see.
[#289 also includes an index for the uXu-S series]
