<h1>Nice to see you!</h1>
<p>The weird looking URL you just used is a "Data URI" and it allows you to put data right into the URL with no server.</p>

<p>There are more QR codes in the zine that have more data URIs, with zip files instead of web pages. When the stuff inside all of the zip files is combined, there should be enough there to build and modify the original zine on most linux systems, or to use as a template for creating a totally new self-replicating zine.</p>

<b>Replication/Modification Instructions</b><br/>
- Get all of the zip files from the other QR codes in the zine onto a Linux PC or similar and extract all of them into one directory<br/>
- Run ./build.sh in that directory (you may need some extra packages)<br/>
- Open front.svg and back.svg in a web browser and it should render a print-ready version of the original zine<br/>
- Use a text editor to edit p1-p6.svg, fc.svg, and bc.svg
- Use build.sh again to update front.svg and back.svg<br/>
- Remember to refresh your browser!<br/>
