• Office move (they used to work in the basement of a toy store. Kinda like MegaTokyo, no?)
• Server problems and their possible fix
• Pondering about a rework of the moderation system - like adding a decimal point or changing the numeric values to words like "best" and "worst".

In his recent journal entry, Taco spoke about: Drop in mod points, the strange errors we see in /. lately (they'll have to write a script to restart httpd... damn it's so annoying when you don't know what's the source of the problem), traffic increase, an HBO show, new apple laptop (in exchange for all the favoring of Apple stories?) and ANOTHER office transfer (the last one was from the west coast to the east coast if I re

Hi!
In his recent journal entry, CmdrTaco talked about the slashdot@slashdot.org email address (and how anything you sent to it until now is going to get lost), some hardware changes (what's a webhead?) and the side effects of the 20% growth in traffic (why did that happen? why is there more traffic here? Did the webservers start to serve girls as well?)

Discuss, honey.

In his recent journal entry, CmdrTaco shared us with his horrible experience in some anime con. He and his wife were forced to do 2 keynotes and were nearly squashed by the crazy mob which expected live tentacle porn. Luckily they were saved by Hime-chan no Ribbon who slaughtered some pornstalkers just in time.

Sorry for being late. I didn't turn on the computer yesterday so I missed the crucial journal notification.
In his recent journal entry, CmdrTaco talked about Sandman, the wonders of the office coffee machine, some transparent hardware updates (I prefer software updates) and about the increasing traffic.
Discussion? anyone?

I was afraid he isn't going to write anymore, but he did!
In his Recent journal entry, CmdrTaco writes about users who send emails with legal restrictions, users that require him to prove he's not a spammer, two DVDs of TV serieses he got (while claiming that Alias is fluff! This can't be tolerated!), some hardware changes here and new t-shirts there.

Discuss.

There are 2 subjects here that I can't stand:

The first is fuel cells for laptops. I understand the sympathy towards fuel cells - they are nice and all. But they are for the cars. Once they start making cars use them I'll be happy, because gasoline sucks and it's a very annoying energy source.

In his recent journal entry, CmderTaco speaks about the blackout and its effects on him and on slashdot. That includes the inability to have normal coffee and also the need to piss outside in order to conserve water.
Discuss!

Note: He was using too many abbreviations. I guess that NPR is National Public Radio, but what is BFE (related to water)?

As you noticed, our subcription model doesn't give us much revenue. Yes, we got some money from you, the lovely users, and also from the ads above, but it's far from enough.

Our subscription model was wrong from the first place, as it was based on ad-blocking. And nobody cares about ad-blocking anyway, so most people set in their configuration to block one ad per day, and that allows them to enjoy the "plums" for almost 3 years, and all that for 5 bucks.

Notes:

In his latest journal entry, CmdrTaco talks about how hard it is to pick a winner in the new /. t-shirt contest. Discuss?

UPDATE about something else: Slash won't let me write Hebrew in UTF-8 anymore! It saves it all right, but mangles the output when you try to view the journal (seems that it strips all the high ASCII chars). How nice of you.

In his recent journal entry, CmdrTaco talked about.. uhhmm.. some exhibition, a laptop that didn't work, a TV program and infrastructural changes in Slash. Anyone wants to discuss that?

Sorry for posting so late. I've been busy.
CmdrTaco posted 4 articles that want to get reponses:
This journal entry welcomes a new slashdot employee called Tim Vroom who replaces krow. (I want to work in slashdot too. Is that a good work place? Do you get doughnuts?)
That journal entry is the place where Taco shares us his ponders about expanding M2 so you can know if

In his recent journal entry, CmdrTaco gives advices on how to ask for help and stuff.
Discuss.

CmdrTaco has been criticized many times for not letting people comment in his journal. Unlike Rusty, CmdrTaco triggers a lot of attention, both positive and negative, wherever he goes, so it's hard for him.
