They are converting to wordpress
Since slashcode was, er, stagnating. The packages on debian (even debian-unstable) were ancient, and trying to upgrade caused a major problem with posting. WordPress puts out nice valid HTML, uses CSS extensively, has many fantastic plugins, and is much faster and less memory-intense. So far, they like it! Downside?

C’mon everyone! Let’s celebrate the sanctity of this cherished institution! On second thought, let’s just sit back and have a beer while everyone else gets worked up into an amusing (and sometimes hauntingly paranoid) frenzy.
Merry – uh – something…
From: Gary Johnston (via the Interesting people mailing list) Hi – I wanted to send out some sort of holiday greeting to my friends, but it is so difficult in today’s world to know exactly what to say without offending someone. So I met with my attorney today, and on his advice (and after $299… Continue reading Merry – uh – something…
Another stinking pile of an act of congress…
Spam News Politicians want to spam you. Their media consultants want to spam you. Throughout years of abuse of their constituencies, the house and senate did what they do best: nothing. When lawmakers in California finally got the message, and drew up a spam-fighting law with some teeth, however, congress finally lept into action: They… Continue reading Another stinking pile of an act of congress…
