Journal Bruce Perens's Journal: Technocrat.net is back 13
Some of you may remember my technology policy / technology news site Technocrat.net. The site is reactivated. It's intended to be a more mature, and hopefully more relevant, forum than Slashdot. No ACs, a special focus on technology policy and high technology outside of the conventional corporate model, but conventional tech news as well.
I'd really appreciate it if you'd create a login on the site and submit articles. Especially original work, which hasn't always been well recieved on Slashdot - they seem to prefer linking to other people's coverage. RDF and RSS are available at http://technocrat.net/rdf and http://technocrat.net/rss, so you can keep track of articles from elsewhere.

A side effect of using mod_usertrack or anything that sends cookies to the browser is that it prevents caching from taking place (in caching proxies). I suggest disabling this module, unless it is really useful for you. This will allow a more efficient use of the browser caches and an even more efficient use of caching proxies like S

Unless the cookie somehow effects images as well as HTML pages.

The cookie was also sent for all images. This is a "feature" of mod_usertrack, so that the webmaster can follow the trail of a user loading various objects (pages and images). But apparently this is not the case anymore. I suppose that you have disabled mod_usertrack for the moment. Thanks!
