My interest in a new MMORPG called Ryzom was sparked by an O'Rielly article. I went to the site, and was interested in becoming a beta tester; that is, until I spied a clause in the NDA stating, "(3) You acknowledge that Wanadoo Portails may, in its discretion, charge a fee for the Beta Software and/or participation in the Beta Test Program

Well, the Xforms thing was interesting. The slashdot crowd is varied, but I think that most of them are very first-order programmers who don't want to think too abstractly - the bottom line is that XForms is a technology that will be great with appropriate tools support. The idea is very sound! Of course, I am also writing this journal entry to see how two entries look next to each other. Did I mention that Goldfrapp just rocks? goldfrapp.co.uk, baby!

I've only recently subscribed to Slashdot after a long stint of interested lurking. All of the options are fascinating, and I look forward to playing with them! In the meantime, I'd like to see exactly where this journal is posted, who gets to look at it, and how it appears. Ah, I see, there is a preview button in a similiar manner to the Twiki product. Very nice. Now if they only had spell checking...
