Slashdotted

Posted by Roo - 03/10/06 at 12:10:28 pm

I had my first Slashdotting last night (albeit an indirect one via 3pointD). Watching the server logs on Eightbar and seeing the hits come in thick and fast has been pretty interesting. Looks like Slashdot readers use Firefox, IE 6, Netscape 4 and Safari in the order. I’ve had to bite my tongue a couple of times while reading the comments, opting to put up an comment on Eightbar rather than reply directly so far.

One particular Slashdot comment really caught my eye; someone raised the issue of POV-Ray -> Second Life conversion. I’ve played with POV-Ray a little bit, and I think this would be a really cool hack and would lead to some pretty cool builds.

  1. One of the best things about you, Roo, is your optimistic outlook on, well, everything. “my first Slashdotting”. Hmm! :-)

  2. If it makes you feel better, I nearly said “first (and probably last) Slashdotting” but decided against it at the last minute. :-)

  3. Congrats mate. Looks like the real life can be influenced by Second Life then :O)
