Slashdot Mirror

Things have been a bit crazy: server troubles, spent some quality time in the ER after the gf got in accident (she's fine), and unusually stressful 'biz stuff (note:in utopia everyone pays their bills ontime instead of leaving us with a nearly empty checking account, a massive looming bandwidth bill, and all these unpaid invoices? I seem to be balding at an accelerated rate :) As for the images on port 81 of flotsam, I'm sorry about that- those of you behind firewalls will be glad to know that the new server will be in soon and hopefully the dust can settle. Allright, some quickies already: Toddius Maximus wrote in to tell us that Performance Computing has started a bi-monthly Linux Section Anthony Fuentes sent us an Interview with John Carmack webslacker sent us a nice little article on Pixar if you're curious what Steve Jobs' other company is up to. Wouldn't be quickies without Star Wars: James McP sent us linkage to a wired story about a Star Wars fan site featuring toy based mini movies, webslacker noted the new 12" Star Wars figures, and Dave Lowe sent us Star Wars Parody Music More cool movie stuff: patowic noted that Bruce Cambell (of Army of Darkness/Evil Dead fame) has his own web page, which features a sound bite archive And some Slashdot media sightings: Duke of URL noted that the recent Katz/Littleton stories got a mention on Suck. RKemp noted that The Economist noticed too. nene noted that an article about Slashdot appeared in Der Standard (although, with a name like that, its no surprise that it ain't English :)

Are we sick of this stuff yet? Not me. I watched the trailer on ET last night. I was gonna wait and see it on this weekend, but I couldn't resist. Anyway, illuminaut sent us a link to Goats where you can read an extremely funny comic about the trailer. And if that isn't enough, Estaga sent us a link to JediNet's Humor Page which is now accumulating Prequel Funny stuff. Why do I need to wait until June? Hype sucks. I just want to watch Yoda, Liam, Ewan, and SLJ do cool jedi stuff now.

For those of us that live in the vast majority of the world, mpegs of the Star Wars Prequel trailer have appeared all over the place- mirrors are hard to grab, but you can hopefully get it from here, here or from starwars.com. Also, Ped Xing sent us a link to a page containing several pictures from the Prequel. Ewan looks awesome, and check out the double ended Light Saber. What I need is to speed up time and.. oh, nevermind.
