Slashdot

As for me, I don't know. I don't like a lot of the disccussion in this thread or what I read in the linked article. I certainly believe that some degree of voter fraud happened in 2000 and 2004, but that much?

I think I want observers from the UN to monitor our elections in 2008.

I mentioned once before that /. needs better journal navigation, like a page that can list all the users's journals. I've started checking up on a few from time to time and it's quite fun. I've even taken to moderating discussion in some journals.

Maybe I'll take a look at the SlashCode sometime to see what can be added for better journal handling. The link to the code is staring at me right there to the left....

RSS feeds for journals, too. I'll need to check if that's here already...

Today's has to be one of the funniest April Fools' on /., ever. When I saw the "OMG!!! Ponies!!!" I nearly sprayed the monitor with Coca-Cola. My 5-year-old daughter is into the My Little Pony stuff, so it had a certain meaning to me.

Also, linking to CuteOverload was a good move. Going there and reading about them being discovered by /., and the remarks over there about a Slashdotters favorite activities.....Heh, I especially liked the comment about our egos being more fragile than a butterfly fart!--There is some truth in the funniest comments.

I saved a screenshot for posterity.

Well, here it is. I edited it at lunch to remove OS/Browser specific stuff and to redact out my /. handle as well as the ad at the top. I stuck it on a server here at work rather than on my personal server.--Here's hoping no one will notice!

I was just perusing some other /.ers journals and actually moderating the discussions attached to the journal posts and discovered that the journal navigation tools on /. are pretty lame. I'll have to do some more poking around and maybe I can enumerate the problems later.

Heh, I know....I'll just grab the latest slashcode and go to town hacking it over the "long" weekend. Um, yeah, right.

Something else hit me, too. Roblimo has a lower ID than I do, but I'm sure I "joined" before he came on board. I remember his column at Andover.net before they bought /., and I used to read it and /. All the IDs below 1,000 must be reserved for editors and future editors. That's what I'd do if I were setting something like this up. Wonder who gets ID 666, then?

I don't generally consider myself to be superstitious, but then, who does consider himself to be superstitious? Anyway, I was cruising the WWW and clicked on a link for horoscopes and put in my star sign. The following sentence from what I read made me laugh, and I thought that I'd stick it in here so that I wouldn't forget it:

Just be sure to wear the gold uniform when you beam down -- you know what happens when you wear the red one.
