Welcome to Shonky Internet Systems.
"Genius is the ability to reduce the complicated to the simple."
What is Shonky Internet?
Well for a start, shonky.com is no longer shonky.com because the aptly named Joker (our former registry) didn't email
us to tell us the domain was expiring, and it got snatched by a speculator. More fool them, now they are stuck with
a shonky dot-com they want $25,000 for. So now we are Shonky Internet Systems or something,
but I am not changing the logo so there.
Shonky Internet is a small
collection of people
dedicated (when we are not
doing something else) to the philosophy that not a lot that happens on the
Internet is really Rocket Science.
Shonky provides
free services for various worthy causes, with
the sole acceptance criteria being how amusing or interesting the project
is. All we ask is that if anything you find here has been helpful or you
have used any documents or resources then please mention Shonky Internet
and link back to this site if possible.
Shonky Internet
doesn't make a profit
because it's not allowed to. We
accept the occasional alcoholic and edible bribe, but that's about it.
Shonky isn't a big company, in fact, it's not a company at all - it
doesn't protect its rights with much vigour but if you do misuse our
resources we will sulk at you for ages.
If you are already bored, why not just
play hangman instead?
The following Shonky Internet sites are available:
- The
Risk Training Site.
- The
IRCnet Web Site.
- Connected with IRCnet, we also have
Skylla Mail.
- One of the free services Shonky doesn't much like any more is
Google. If you don't like being spied on you may want to try
Rasputin.
- All of our legal work is handled by
Lawmongers - Luckily
they waive the fees..
- Most of the stuff we really do is on
our wiki but it is mostly locked down. You
could look at
Eastnet.ca's wiki which has a lot more useful stuff on it.
The following Shonky Internet technical documents are available:
The following are "Works in progress":
People and places that bribe Shonky Internet with alcohol:
(None, any more!)
- IRC is a very shonky network, but the
IRCnet homepage at least has a
Shonky webpage to go with it.
External links to things we like:
Ok, so we admit, some other people can write
good things too... Sometimes.
Other Shonky things we find amusing:
- Michael's shonky artwork - Ode to relay.bt.net...
- We used to have a
Gary Larson picture here but his lawyers
asked us to remove it.
We like Shonky Lawyers but we don't like short sighted idiot ones.
- Unfortunately, we at Shonky Internet had to shut down our Spam Shop.
Ah well, we may find another one day!
