I’ve got a weblog/portal project coming up and have been looking at what’s out there as far as software. Nothing seems to be available that does everything I want. Slash doesn’t appear to be very configurable – every site I look at that uses it looks exactly like slashdot. Slash also requires the use of [...]
Number One on Seti@HOME Again
May 2nd, 2000, No Comments
WooHoo! I’m number one on the Seti@HOME Team Slashdot stats again. Another 15 minutes of fame… Even though there are only a few boxes left here running the Seti@HOME software, I still check in on my stats every once in a while. Most of the people on Team Slashdot gave up long ago and I’ve [...]

SETI@Home Update
June 17th, 1999, No Comments
For those who are keeping track of the SETI@home project, Team Slashdot is in the lead right now with over 27,000 work units processed – more than 76 years worth of CPU time. And if you examine the stats for Team Slashdot, you’ll notice me in the top 10 with just under 300 work units [...]
