    I know they say not to bich and moan about not getting stories published but jeez, if they let this through the editorial process they must have something against me. Maybe it's a slow news day.

    Oh, and why does Linus look really fat in the first two pictures and skinny in the last ones? Does drinking beer really make you skinny?

    Comeon somebody please: find a good story out there, something has to be happening!

      Here you go Genuinely important and interesting article that I submitted to slashdot about 3 days after it was published. Rejected. I guess naked nerds is more important.

      Yeah; that's quite interesting really. The cleartype font system could be an interesting model to fix up linux desktop font issues too.

      FAT is worthless though... everyone and their brother reversed engineered it already. NTFS or their new journaling FS on the other hand...

    Actually, I *do* have puzzle boxes for sale on eBay...it appears that eBay has (once again) changed the URL they use for the "View seller's other items" option. Thanks for letting me know about the problem. I've changed my forwarding link and the Want a Japanese Puzzle Box link in my sig should now work.
