Journal firstpostrobot's Journal: The Big FirstPost Weekend! 2
Here's an overview of the FirstPost Big Weekend, December 13-15, 2002, when I let the First Post Robot it run unattended all weekend for the first time.
These successes on Friday don't count as fully automated -- I was still present, but not actively participating. One with a good reply, Two, Three.
After the IP address was locked out Friday afternoon, the automated timer took over. Saturday, under fully robotic control, FirstPost was successful early in the morning. Only two more attempts on Saturday, both successful: this one with info on RoboTroll, and this one.
Four successes in four tries on Sunday show that Higher Powers support the First Post Robot: Uno, Dos (with good replies), Tres, and most bueno of the whole weekend, Quattro, in a big (1000+ comment) discussion. This one generated a long reply chain with some of Slashdot's most illustrious trollers taking part.
For those keeping score at home... that's 10 for 10, all First Post!
We can say it for real now:
All Your First Post Are Belong To Us!
