reading the comments at fark will make you laugh.
reading the comments at digg will make you dumb.
reading the comments at the dot will make you smart. (well – as long as you browse above +1 or so.)

I followed your original post and signed up – either Friday or Saturday – and haven’t gotten my e-mail yet.

But it’s nice of Galleycat to say.

Because I still own over 2,000 shares of SourceForge (from back when it was VA Linux, and then became VA Software, and then mutated into SourceForge, and own slashdot).

Writers, real PROFESSIONAL writers, pay themselves first, and have a retirement portfolio of some kind.

What John Scalzi writes about writing as a profession is true. Especially the part about being very very lucky in whom you marry. Damn, but he and I aced that, by marrying up.

I figured as much when I saw it slashdotted (oh, the spell checker didn’t like that one) but it looks like the gravy train has ended. Oh, well, at
least I got there before the rush with my backup e-mail account… guess it is true, snooze and loose. Anyone else here notice a problem or is it just me?
