Journal FortKnox's Journal: Did Somebody Say Lag? 10
Slashdot has crawled all week. I think its either the new features added, or loss of servers in a cost-cutting move by VA. Either way, its unreadable. I'm working on a J2EE/Struts website that'll be journals and fun entertainment stuff. If this lag keeps up much longer, I am gonna speed up the development and give something else for people to point their webbrowsers to (I'll put in a stream to slashdot, so you can at least read the headlines and stories of what's posted without the lag).

If you think about it, it only makes sense to do what FK is talking about and a lot of people are going that route. With the way blogging technologies are moving today, I think we are moving toward a "distributed" slashdot. A circle of friendly blogs owned individually that ping back to the other blogs when there is an update. I think that would be much better, and it would also reduce a lot of the noise. I spend more time reading and writing in journals than comments now days. The conversation is much better, more personal, less likely to be trolled, etc. Anyway, that's just my 2cents. If anyone is interested in more of what I'm talking about regarding the future of blogging, check out this site [erablog.net]. Make sure to read about "trackback, pingback, trackforward, postforward and comeback" which are some really cool ideas that many bloggers are starting to implement.

If they tried to pull a move like what they seem to have done within the past few weeks (unexplained oddities with the UI) at a professional shop, they'd have their IDEs handed to them as they were shown the door.

Oh well. I think Slashcode has become so complicated that it's grown out of control. I've said this before, and I'll say it again: fix what is broken before adding all this ridiculous unnecessary "features..."
