drbyte's Journal: An account at another portal?

I finally got me an account on /.. This after hanging around the great site since '98.

Why the sudden change? Why the sudden acceptance of a portal? For one, it could have something to do with me being on the Internet for all the day now that I'm in a uni and the Internet line is just sweet.

But I've never been a portal person. I've always thought that registering an account and actually, customising your stuff will be cumbersome. I guess I was wrong.

Reading Slashdot now is heaps more fun. Everything is customised. I get a journal (ala blog). I don't have to code up some PHP to blog at my personal site. Neither do I have to go some site offering free blogs either.

At least I finally made the switch in 2002. April 2002 will always be remembered as the day I got myself a /. account. (If only this were April 1st :) )
