In the new Chrome Flesh PDF, Plan 9 mentions Gateskeeper in reference to Turbo Bunny, but I didn't catch the reference. Is Gateskeeper mentioned in another publication, or is this another 'sheep' incident, where we'll never know?

Gateskeeper has been mentioned several times, sometimes obliquely. You'll know more about Gateskeeper later.

For now, I'll let you play "Spot the references", and note that some do it without a name being involved, so a general search won't catch 'em all.

Good hunting!

Be careful what you look for.



Some things have a knack of finding you before you find them.
Where am I going? And why am I in a hand basket ???

Remember: You can't fix Stupid. But you can beat on it with a 2x4 until it smartens up! Or dies.

Lets face it, anything that can keep itself to such limited info about itself, while being "known" to the Jackpoint community?

They are a big collection of "info"whores, and manicial info busy bodies! (Hence why we love them! No them, no 'books' 😆)

So, these 'deeper' mysteries are probably either:

A: so cryptic/protected as to make discovery extremely hard.
B: actively thwarting/interceeding to stop people from looking.

Here's the thing, Reaver - there's a difference between 'this guy I know, Gateskeeper', and 'the Hidden Masters beyond the Veil'.  The latter is a conspiracy (theory or otherwise); the former is just a guy.  Gateskeeper is clearly the former.  And Jackpoint doesn't usually look insanely close at many of the 7.2 billion other people on the planet, y'know?

Does this mean we have to keep an eye out for the KeyMaster? :P
Do you believe in a greater WIRELESS, an Invisible(WiFi) All Seeing(detecting those connected- at least if within 100'), All Knowing(all online data) Presence that we can draw upon for Wisdom(downloads & updates), Strength (wifi boni) and Comfort (porn) or do you turn your back on it  (Go Offline)?

Gates is not a metaphor, no. Gateskeeper's job revolved around protecting them. Or keeping one. It's complicated. :D
