Mokie-Coke

Advanced, easy to swallow, asynchronous beverage.

Mokie-Coke is a beverage sold with subliminal advertising in the novel The Merchants' War by Fred Pohl, the sequel to The Space Merchants by Pohl and Kornbluth. These books portray commercialism and advertising gone mad - just as we have with email today.

So, the mokiecoke I'm offering you here is entirely virtual. Furthermore, I wouldn't recommend talking to me about it. All of the contact addresses on this page have been specially treated so that not only will they not work, but they'll also automatically arrange that you or your ISP will not be able to send any more mail !

You know who that is aimed at. I'm using these magic contact addresses together with some other software I wrote - see my main free software page.

Talk to me - yes, really

If you go to some of my other web pages you may find contact addresses for me that will actually work.

Mailinglists

I have not set up mailinglists mokiecoke-announce and mokiecoke-discuss. The announcements list is moderated and will contain only announcements of important bugs, new versions, etc. The bug reports address mentioned above is also a mailing list; feel free to subscribe to it.

There are no archives and subscription web pages, or you can subscribe by sending mail containing the word `subscribe' to mokiecoke-announce-REQUEST@chiark.greenend.org.uk or mokiecoke-discuss-REQUEST@chiark.greenend.org.uk.
