New CGI Script Shows Random Slashdot Stories (destinyland.net)

Posted by EditorDavid on from the thunderous-applause dept.

An anonymous reader writes: I wrote a CGI script that displays a random Slashdot story! Every time you refresh the page, it displays a different story from the year 2016. And you can also just load stories from a specific editor -- whipslash, BeauHD, msmash, and EditorDavid.

    i guess the people who bought slashdot now realize all the smart people left for 'that' site a long time ago and now it's just a few basement dwelling gnu/freetards and some pc technicians left here. sad!

      Nice color scheme

      Gods I hope that was droll sarcasm. My eyes threw up today when I pulled up the page. It's a horrid color choice. The same color innumerable insects use to broadcast "I taste like shit, don't eat me!"

  7. Old Editors maybe? by Highdude702 · · Score: 1

    Is there any way we can get you to exclude " BeauHD, msmash, and EditorDavid." And maybe only get articles from the GOOD editors from the past? That would be great. kthx!

  8. Given that Slashdot stories are already random, by rickb928 · · Score: 1

    Is this redundancy or recursion?

    And is it truly random, given the finite set of Slashdot stories?

    Or, alternatively, wait, no, whatever.
