uh, yeah, like webcomics.com? They provide updates webcomics and let you create your own "comics page"

I'm worried if they are allowed to put ads all over the place, the could presumably put malicious stuff there too. It's really just a big free webhost, because, if it's so massive, anyone can sign up and post anything?

You might wanna try to get more exposure on webcomics.com. We have a lot of traffic and are just looking for more good comics to feature, which pumps up traffic like 10 times on the featured day. We also have a banner exchange program just for comics, you can help promote other comics, while they help you.

Lots more free WebComics by slashkitty · 2002-11-17 07:18 · Score: 2 · on New Resource for Online Comic Artists

Just look www.WebComics.com, where we have had over 100 daily and weekly webcomics online for years. We also provide resources for online cartoonists for free, like comic scheduling, archiving and promotion. There is also a nice SlashBox of some techie comics from WebComics.com.

Well, I guess I should mention my site, WebComics.com here. Can't believe /. runs a story on Webcomics with out mentioning my site. Ok granted, my site is mostly comics strips where this story seems to be about comic books, but we've been around for 6 years and have a great community of cartoonists. Some have moved on to become syndicated, others have websites that have taken off.

Anyway, we of course have been trying to deal with this making money thing for 6 years at WebComics. We've had competitors come and go (like toonscape.com and mycomics.com) which all thought they could make lots of money I guess. As with most messed up web companies, the problem is very simple, they just spend too much money. The web lets you do things so efficiently and a company has to take advantage of that.

Webcomics.com has hundreds of great comics by slashkitty · 2001-04-18 10:51 · Score: 1 · on Online Comics Syndication in XML

You can do just that in creating your favorite comics page at WebComics.com. Yes, ok, this site is run by me, but if you haven't seen it, now is your chance.

We have been supporting netscape channels for both our top comics and our newest comics, and types of syndication for over 6 years, both inbound comics and out bound listings. We'd gladly support a comicsML that makes sense.

We've already seen that there are lots of issues with providing a viable living for online cartoonists. I don't know if this is the answer, or even part of the answer, but I'm all for taking a look.

Slashdot Load Testing (Continues) Posted by CmdrTaco on Mon August 30, 02:13 PM EDT
from the ain't-this-fun? dept.
Fixed so far:

Dropped http MaxClients down to 75
increased mysql max_connections to to 250

(they were 150 & 100, so we had 450 http forks fighting for 100 mysql connections. Oops! Thank god for load testing! I guess its problably good that I post another story just so that we can simulate normal Slashdot a little better: Slashdot doesn't usually have just 1 story with people posting on (well, unless we mention evolution or the GPL being violated or something) (Oh, and don't post comments with bug reports, there is no way I'll be able to keep up, email 'em. I won't reply, but I'll read it)

Help Test Our New Server! Posted by CmdrTaco on Mon August 30, 12:51 PM EDT
from the load-testing-is-cool dept.
So here it is: A mirror of Slashdot (as of a week or so ago). It exists now for testing: So feel free to post comments and help test the new load balancer. For the curious, the new system has 3 http machines (P2s) and one mysql box (a dual P2) with a load balancer trying to keep everyone all equally busy. And its about time: the old setup has been really stressed out trying to keep up with everyone. Anyway, don't get to attached to any of your comments here, when we're satisfied that the new setup is stable, I'm gonna mirror over Slashdot and make the final switcheroo.

Bram writes "Just found an article about another way to invade privacy." He's talking about hand-held radar systems police can use to detect breathing, beating hearts or other motion through walls and other obstacles. Sounds like a declassified version of the Ground Support Radar [GSR] units we used years ago in the Army. I can see why police would want them, and I can also see why Bram considers them a privacy threat. Depends on how they're used, I suppose.
