Journal mercedo's Journal: Sammy 9

Journal by mercedo

As is usual, I started in my fan's list. I check the list prior to everything before I start reading a journal and writing a comment.

I noticed the name 'SamTheButcher (574069)' in the middle of the list. Once in a blue moon I opened my friend's list. It is not often, although I often click 'Friend's journals'. So when I saw his name, I thought I misclicked the friend's section. Sometimes when I misclicked my friend's section, I misunderstand I've got as many fans as I have in my friend's section. I registered 150 friends in which only 50 are my fans. Thus I never imagined seeing his name in my fan's list.

Finally I was recognised by one of the Slashdot giants. Banzai!

  • Digging out that old sdfriends.sh script from the_mad_poster:

    [john@firebolt:john]$ sdfriends.sh samthebutcher
    You have 246 fans. PATHETIC.
    [john@firebolt:john]$ sdfriends.sh ethelred+unraed
    You have 266 fans. PATHETIC.
    [john@firebolt:john]

    This means, of course, that I win...absolutely nothing.

    To put it into perspective, though:

    [john@firebolt:john]$ sdfriends.sh some+woman
    You have 285 fans. PATHETIC.
    [john@firebolt:john]$ sdfriends.sh solemndragon
    You have 278 fans. PATHETIC.
    [john@firebolt:john]$

      He stopped posting here, he was one of the faces in Slashdot though.

      absolutely nothing

      246, 266, 285, 278 don't make many differences. But 392 has some sense. Generally speaking if you became extremely popular in Slashdot, you tend to acquire tens of thousands of fans. Some user register few friends and acquire many fans becasue of their fame, so this is a criterion of our popularity among Slashdotters. But if Slashdotters became extremely famous among people in general public, the result is

    • You were the first to achieve 10,000 comments. gmhowell followed. Marxist Hacker 42 will follow next. It is not merely the matter the number of posts we made is but the quality of them. You have both in number and in quality. I see Slashdotters whose comments exceed more than 10,000 are Slashdot Giants.

      When I started writing journals here 1.4 years ago, it seemed nobody was reading except for Marxist Hacker 42. The number of comments had been always 0,0,wondeful. Although I knew there's a message function,

        • I have to say I'm not sure what this means.... I understand that nobody commented on your journals for a long time, but this part...I'm not sure what you don't miss. Unless you don't miss the zero-comment journals. Which makes sense. Enact, though...Hm.

          I think you have already faced the problem with my poor quality in this language. Here's an explanation.

          Now I welcomed the Slashdot Giant ( Now I had one of Slashdot celebrities in my fan's list, I will have comments more than ever from now so), I must enac

  • you know you can get a message every time someone changes their relationship with you (becomes fan or freak, stops being one) ?
  • you've been friended by one of the slashdot ghosts, one of the faded slashdot memories.
