Some of you may remember my technology policy / technology news site Technocrat.net. The site is reactivated. It's intended to be a more mature, and hopefully more relevant, forum than Slashdot. No ACs, a special focus on technology policy and high technology outside of the conventional corporate model, but conventional tech news as well.

I'd really appreciate it if you'd create a login on the site and submit articles. Especially original work, which hasn't always been well recieved on Slashdot - they seem to prefer linking to other people's coverage. RDF and RSS are available at http://technocrat.net/rdf and http://technocrat.net/rss, so you can keep track of articles from elsewhere.

Sure Bruce, I remember the site! ;-)

I'll renew my offer to create a logo for the site, if you like.

  Thanks! It's fixed now. It'll take me a while to understand slashcode.

Bruce, it seems like a nice enough site but it takes ages to load. What's going on?

  It's coming in quickly here right now. Although all of the little image bits are cached at my site by now. Maybe the network at serverbeach? Tell me if it keeps up.
  Thanks

    Seems a little better now, not sure what the original problem was. I was just trying to log in and change some settings, the pages were taking minutes to load.

I have ID 65, hopefully this site outgrows slashdot, then I'll be famous ;)

I loved technocrat before, and mourned it's passing deeply. I'm really glad to see it come back.

I do agree with the poster who mentioned privacy policies. I trust that since it's Bruce's site my info is safe, but as a matter of principle it would still be
Technocrat.net a bit slow because of cookies? (Score:1)

The site loads a bit slowly for me. But maybe I found one of the reasons why: it looks like the web server uses the Apache usertrack module to track all users with cookies.

    The cookie was also sent for all images. This is a "feature" of mod_usertrack, so that the webmaster can follow the trail of a user loading various objects (pages and images). But apparently this is not the case anymore. I suppose that you have disabled

From what I see from the front page it does not seem a more relevant version of /., in fact it seems a less relevant copy. Will it grow in to a more specialized site?
