I haven't posted a journal here in almost three years, because I couldn't find the button to start a new entry.
So... hi, Slashdot. I used to be really active here, but now I mostly lurk and read. I've missed you.
Been on Slashdot for at least a decade now, I forget when I joined. Have had "excellent" karma since before they used fuzzy words instead of numbers to describe it. Haven't had mod points for the past few years... then suddenly this month I've had mod points five or six times. Either the dice are loaded, or they ran out of other moderators, or the whole system is broken.
I've lurked at
But I've been clicking through the old RSS feed more and more lately, and when I saw the PAX Plague thread today, I came over to comment, since I'm kind of affected by the whole damn thing. I thought I'd take a look around since I haven't been here in awhile, and I saw that there are freaking ACHIEVEMENTS associated with our accounts. It's silly, and I'm sure it's been here forever, but I thought it was awesome and I was delighted when I read it.
I didn't realize how much I missed Slashdot until I spent some time here today, and I bet that anyone who joined in the last 2 years doesn't even give a shit about my stupid comments or anything, but it felt good to come back here, and feel safely among my people again.
Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.
