Some statistics
This Digest turned 5 a little while ago, and here’s another milestone: this is post 3,001. There’s 1,300 comments or so, too.
Interregnum interrupted
Sorry about a week without posts! I was in the wilds of Canada and without any Internet access, for probably the longest period for me since 1995. It was weird. Regular posts resume tomorrow.
Permalinks fixed
Upgrading WordPress to 2.6 yesterday broke the direct links to articles on the Digest. It’ll be updated in the 2.6.1 release of WordPress, but until then I’ve changed the links to correct for the issue.

News sites, like this one, and not like this one
This post on the “gentrification of geek communities” is interesting, and somewhat relevant to what I’m trying to do with the Digest. However, the author seems to have more of a concern about which sites appear the most hip, rather than viewing them as secondary mechanisms for reporting on the actual news items found there. (Via)
Perhaps that’s the sign a geek news site has ‘jumped the shark’: when appearing on it is more exciting than reading the news articles present. e.g. the Slashdot Effect rather than the Slashdot News.

More links, please
I’ve added the various BSD-related links from an earlier story over on the sidebar to this site. If you have more suggestions for BSD-related site, please tell me at justin@shiningsilence.com, or in the comments.
Busy busy busy
For some reason, I’ve had more material for posting in the past few weeks than just about ever. I’ve had a 2-3 day backlog of news all this time. I’m not complaining, mind you, I’m just thrilled that there’s this much going on.
