Slashdot Mirror
Quickies Backwards R Us
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 :)
was also on NPR's Morning Edition this morning in the 6:30-6:45 segment.
