I kept thinking maybe slashdot.org could make a big return !
It's a different platform with a different audience. I really don't think that idea has any hope. Unfortunately.

Heh,
I've been journaling, but stopped reading the main page long before that.
Journal Journal: Line: Ah, to be 50 again.
Working on a report for someone in her late 70s over the phone, i lamented on being 50 when i took off my glasses and got close to the laptop to read the small letters on the screen. Her response: Ah, to be 50 again.
It made me smile. It's refreshing to hear things put in perspective.
Journal Journal: Chronicle: 50
Just like last year, my birthday again shifted me up one year. And like Marxist Hacker 42 said, 50 is really depressing. I could go on, but i won't.

Last farewell was to ~talinom, this one is to ~jawtheshark. Otoh, this is part 2, so it sounds like they're connected.

Couln't find it. Sorry. It's something like "Every time i hear someone say he's an Access DBA i can't help but snicker."
Journal Journal: Vignette: Database programmer, Access. 2
Just the other day someone told me that he was a database programmer. So, i asked him which database. He said, "Access". I snickered (and remebered Brent Ozar's tweet on the subject).

As i turn 49, i felt the urge to post, because i always post on my birthday. Except i don't. Going through the list (link takes you through your own posts, as adding a username does not work), i found:
Submission + - Slashdot Alum Samzenpus's Fractured Veil Hits Kickstarter
CmdrTaco writes: Long time Slashdot readers remember Samzenpus,who posted over 17,000 stories here, sadly crushing my record in the process! What you might NOT know is that he was frequently the Dungeon Master for D&D campaigns played by the original Slashdot crew, and for the last few years he has been applying these skills with fellow Slashdot editorial alum Chris DiBona to a Survival game called Fractured Veil. It's set in a post apocalyptic Hawaii with a huge world based on real map data to explore, as well as careful balance between PVP & PVE. I figured a lot of our old friends would love to help them meet their kickstarter goal and then help us build bases and murder monsters! The game is turning into something pretty great and I'm excited to see it in the wild!
Journal Journal: Verbiage: First POST 1
So, i'm writing a program/dll to make API calls to a data provider. For the API itself, disregarding authentication, i have only implemented GETs. Well, i just did a POST and after verifying it worked, i thought to myself, "that was my first post". At which point, i felt a strong need to post that here.
