D2 Updates, Text Message Notifcation

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-play-with dept.

A few quick notes on some recent code updates. The smaller function is that we've added text messaging stuff for phones. If you visit the messages page (you must be logged in) you can define your cell phone's email address, and get notifications sent to it. The more interesting update is for Discussion2 users (turn it on on any article page). There is an option now to restrict page sizes and you will retrieve comments by score. This means you can configure your Slashdot to return smaller, more bandwidth friendly pages that you can expand without loading fresh pages. Anyone still running D1 is a sucker.

    or is stuck running IE. (Remember us, that lonely lost majority of the internet?)
    Obviously, that's not an exclusive or you're using there. One could argue that it's redundant. After all if B implies A, then asserting A is the same as asserting A or B. (Do not mod his post redundant, however. That's not what I mean. I'm just making a joke.)

    Brian, this is your boss. You spend too much time on Slashdot as it is.

    You could try google.com, freerepublic.com, dailykos.com, etc. There are millions more to choose from! ;)

  4. Someday soon by eclectro · · Score: 4, Funny

    I await the day soon when slashcode becomes sentient, and the first words out of its mouth will be

    "Hallo Wurld"

    as it still won't have spellcheck.

      I thought it would be "First Post." I'm getting a disturbing image of a child raised by trolls.

    Yup, great for those of us who still love unmoderated usenet. It's painful and I LIKE it that way.

    Jeez, man, lighten up. I think he was just kidding around. Anyone thinking otherwise is a sucker.

    Just for mentioning the phrases "American", "phone call", "pay the price", "bomb someone", "protect themselves", and "outside their control", you have been added to the Department of Fatherland Security watchlists. All of your finances, foreign or otherwise, will be monitored closely (in San Francisco) for any corroborating tendrils of threatening intent on your part.

    If we're a product, we should be productive. But we're not, because we waste too much time on Slashdot!
