shut up

I recently submitted a story to digg, this one to be exact, it quickly accumulated 31 diggs and I figured it was headed towards the front page. After a while I checked on it and it was nowhere to be found, not on the front page, not in the digg section (even though it had only been submitted an hour earlier). So what happened? The only conclusion I can come up with is that digg has started screening posts before they hit the front page, and for whatever reason mine didn't make the cut.

Hopefully digg will reconsider if they are actually doing this, its entirely against what digg is supposed to be.

To be fair, it's possible that people reported it because it's not "tech related", but I would think there would be a few more comments since diggers love to bitch about it.

Zooomr is a great site, almost like a Flickr lite, flickr just seems a bit bloated to me, thats my only complaint, but zoomr solves it.

The only problem is compression, check this out

Now maybe I'm just picky, but I noticed it without even directly comparing the two, if Zoomr fixes the compression issue I will happily switch over.

this is ridiculous



I posted it on digg, so digg it

I've recently discovered that youtube has a lot of full episodes of shows that people have uploaded, The Simpsons and Seinfeld just to name a couple. I put a lot of them in my favorites folder to keep track of them, so check it out.

Heres an episode of The Simpsons just to get you started, gotta have my tomacco.

An automatic mirror/cache/backup link next to the title of the story so that when the digg effect kills the server everyone can still easily get to the page, the link would be through the Coral Cache (http://www.coralcdn.org/)

The Coral Cache works by automatically downloading the page to a large network of servers and distributing the load between them so that no single server is responsible for it all, this makes it extremely reliable.

Greatest Mario Kart DS avatar ever? yes.
