Back to the Blog
It's been a one-year hiatus, but I'm back. I've been posting comments to Slashdot.org as DumbSwede, but I hadn’t been posting much to my Slashdot Journal, which to be honest is more my Blog than this one is. Larry’s Humor Pages on JayTV.com have been updated as well with a few new Top Ten lists and the addition of number eight in the humor page series.
I plan for my journal to take on a higher percentage of editorial entries this year, though I have had an amusing experience in my recent life, so expect another chapter in “Larry’s Life” soon. In the mean time check out “Piety by Proxy” an editorial entry and “DNA Incrimination by Extrapolation” an AskSlashdot submission begging for discussion.
I guess I was little ahead of the curve in January 2004 -- I had to create my own Feedback application since Blogger didn’t have user comments. I now see they are touting their new Comments mechanism. I wouldn’t call it easy to get them up and running, but I did manage after a few trial and errors. My Feedback links will be left in place for Global Comments, but now you can comment away on individual posts. Since Blogger.com is free, I shouldn’t complain too much, but Slashdot Journal had individual comments when I joined in 2001 and probably well before, but then Slashdot is about group discussions. Slashdot is also way, way easier to enable comments. Of course Slashdot Journals are not customizable in layout. You always pay for flexibility with complexity.
