I hope everyone won't mind this unsolicited zinetic outburst. I simply cannot contain myself. 

​The second issue of my zine is now online at http://resistor.spaz.org!

Click the PDF directory. You will find reading & printing PDFs for both issues of SF Resistor so far.

The second issue was actually finished just before Christmas as scheduled, but it's taken me this long to figure out FTP for the first time & get the files up without an internet-connectable laptop of my own.

If you are just reading the zine online, select the read.pdfs for each issue. 

SFR2 appears green because it's printed on green paper. I am heading north in a couple months but plan to produce two more issues of SFR before leaving. I'm already at work on the 3rd one. Each issue will be printed on different color paper. Then I will collect the zine quadrilogy & dispense copies to excellent people. That will happen in mid-March/early April.

Instructions for printing are on page 3 of SFR2, & will soon be up on the site in a README file.

The site will be developed into a blog (ArcTangent (x) is the name) but is just a seedling file tree a t m.

And for anyone who saw one of the crappy first-run print copies of SFR2, the PDF file write snafu has been corrected (it turned out to be a simple directory name error on my part) so I have print copies​ that look good & are fully legible now. I'm bringing some to the OMNI bookstore this weekend. (My second visit to the new Sudospace.)

I would like to help develop the SR zine & teach people how to make zines, do layout both digitally & by hand, etc.

Also I am helping my friend, a person known to many, start a combination printshop+cafe in the east bay soon. The need is definitely there. I've been doing my printing at the public library & the print stations there are always packed to the max. I've started giving impromptu tutoring sessions to puzzled library patrons, since I often seem to know more about this stuff than the staff.
