Journal stoolpigeon's Journal: tumbleweeds 8
Mostly any more I come here because I like the summary I get of Ars from my slashbox that shows it's feed. Kind of funny. I do run down the headlines at least once a day. But I've usually already read a lot about whatever they are over at reddit.
I have a subscription to soylent but it's never really stuck for me.
I'd love to see something like slashdot was a while back but I don't think it will happen again - or maybe it wont on anything I'm involved in anyway. I mean honestly, I'm not part of what made slashdot awesome when it was. It was people who were a lot more knowledgeable and/or smarter than me. I hung around to see what they had to say - and then the cirlcle really locked me in for a while but that spun out too.
I did enjoy making good amazon money off the book reviews for a while. And by good I mean like $600 - $900 a year - not a lot but it was fun for buying books and games.

You made more from reviewing books than I ever made writing them.

I've still got 80% of a novel I did for nanowrimo that I want to finish and put out there but I never seem to get around to it.
I hope you are doing really well.
Good to see you! (Score:2)

We are still here near Budapest and doing well. My oldest graduates this year and will start university in the US next year. My second does the same the following year and our son is 2 behind that - so less than 4 years from now it will be just the 2 of us at home again. At that time we need to leave Hungary at least for 6 months due to tax reasons - so we may just end up going somewhere new. Not sure, it's 4 years away - but unless something unexpected happens we should be here for those 4.
Look. We come out of the woodwork. (Score:2)
A lot of the kind of thing I came to Slash for, is now - for worse, I suppose - now on Twitter.
Like the Circle, but fast an furious.
