I built a thing that will send you low quality Fun Facts about Foxes by Fax:

No I'm not really sure why I did either, but once it was in my head I had to make it not be.

Illustrations are by the wonderful instagram.com/nellyperkins/

#foxes#fox#funfacts

@lpbkdotnet For some reason I really want to try this - and another part of me wants a "fake fox facts" one...

@philpem there's also room in the world for a furry fox facts fax facility

I'll probably put this thing on the PSTN for a bit, if I can find a spare number I'm not already using for something else silly

@lpbkdotnet excellent. The world needs more fax facts services. I keep thinking I should put the cat facts cat fax somewhere real (and feed it some non-EMF themed “facts”)

@bencc cat facts/rat facts etc were inspirational here, I wanted to build this in time for EMF but I had too much else on and had to drop it.

I do also have the illustrations ready to go for a much more meta "fax facts fax"

Of course, now you've got me wondering about some kind of fax-ring (a bit like the old web-rings) where all these fact faxes can have the number of a different fact fax at the bottom...

@lpbkdotnet I think that’s an excellent idea. Time to hit up eBay so I can actually do some testing without needing a load of crap hanging off the master socket in the living room.

@bencc doooo iiiiit!

Also, I'm disapointed that there is no .fax TLD so I can't rush out and register facts.fax

data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-b

@lpbkdotnet Me & 3 friends pretend we tinker with antiquated tech. Where’s Faux Fax Fix Facts For Four Fake Fiddlers?
