Have you ever experienced the frustration of having to take a roundabout route to where you want to go? Of having to observe speed restrictions, be considerate to other drivers, go round buildings that block your way, wait more than a few seconds for a beer or a cheeseburger, drive while sober... the list is endless.
On the One True Newsgroup[tm], alt.pave.the.earth, you will meet with like-minded individuals who are taking positive action to improve the quality of life for drivers everywhere. Simply, the whole surface of the Earth must be paved.
The aim of this site is to provide a web-based resource guide to valuable documents for those who wish to further this great work. As and when further documents become available, they will be added here. Suggestions are welcome; please e-mail me at this address.
Paving[tm] resources guide:
- The Creed[tm] of the Pavers, as amended by Pete Gontier. The name of the author of this piece, the beginning of the long drive towards PaveEnlightenment, is lost in the roiling smog clouds of history.
- The alt.pave.the.earth FAQ, v1.1. Mainly of historical interest now, but this document from the early days of apte is a timeless classic.
- The List[tm], v11.0. Know thine enemy.
- The Plan[tm]. The ultimate work of mankind. Herein are all the details for Paving[tm] the Earth.
- The Plan[tm], plain text version, if your browser has problems with the above.
- Confused about what you may or may not drive on Paveworld[tm]? Max Natzet's long-lost List of Heretical Conveyances provides the definitive guide.
- Selena's Pave Page - List[tm] archives, PavePhilosophy, the Paver Protection Plan and much more. The original has disappeared due to a heretical PitSlave[tm] conspiracy, so this is all I could save.
- Chris Schnurr's Paved Earth Simulator for some truly inspiring animations.
- Pavement
Invaders, the ultimate in asphalt gaming software.
- For those seeking to make a practical contribution, Timmerby's Asphalt page is a mine of useful information on Paving[tm].
- Some time ago, a WIRED article featured an irreverent look at apte and Paving[tm], including a fine post from old master Dave Pease.
