mysticgoat's Journal: Ten weeks on Slashdot...

...And I'm no richer than I was before. And I'm not all that much smarter either. And my love life still sucks.

Actually it's 10 weeks and 3 days. And I've posted 23 comments, sent in no articles, not been given an opportunity to mod (that I know of anyway) and still have two fans (they must be weird) and one foe (definitely weird).

Oh! And my karma is "positive". Whatever that means.

It might mean that slashdot's karma scoring system is busted and nobody knows how to fix it and they won't own up to their mistakes. Whoever they are. That's typical behavior for the species-- the USA Veterans Administration agency can be used for the prototype. Sure way to get fame and a shot at a promotion is to sell some novel idea (it doesn't have to be a better idea, just a new one with new buzzwords). And when it croaks because nobody bothered to engineer it for life beyond the sales room, declare it as having been useful at its time, but gosh we just got to move beyond it. And bury the carcass downwind of you and your bosses.

I miss those karma points. I never got very many-- but I miss them all the same.

Still there are a couple of fun things here to play with. This public journal is silly-fun. And some of the articles posted are interesting things I would never come across otherwise. Slashdot is good, it just doesn't do much for your sex appeal.

Enough of this early morning pre-caffeine ranting. Time to write write write another chapter in next decade's greatest saga!
