Judging from the way the /. article was
worded, it sounded like the programmer
is just some Joe Random guy...

Not so. Daniel J. Bernstein has written
quite a bit of Open Source software. If
you don't recognize the name, you might
recognize one of his most popular
works: Qmail.

I enjoyed the site, and I'm glad Cmdr Taco pointed it out.

Sure, it might say a few things that sound like " ETERNAL SALVATION! (or triple your money back)" -- but that is clearly the Skor at work, entangling the world lines of one web within another.

Or something like that.

And if you didn't get it? Well then: who's in charge of fixing that?
