www.eToys-sucks.com for the story about an “s”.

Ratbastard
has an updated look and design. To clear up any confusion Ratbastard has made the following statement:

“One note: ratbastard.org is not a weblog. A weblog is a site that merely links to other web sites on a daily basis while providing no new content of its own.

Ratbastard is NOT a weblog. Any bastard squaddies who refer to it as such shall be spanked smartly about their nether
regions.”

Will have to add that to my “don’t do” list 🙂

Iambe, Intimate and Interactive has the next installment of “The continuing saga of Jason,Code Poet and dimestore denizen, and wily woolen woman” being co-penned by iamb and engel. Scroll down to “SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENTS” for the latest chapter.

About metajohn has the Jargon File‘s definition of meta as well as some credits.

Category Browser for the Weblog Monitor blogs definable in the preferences. After all the discussion on the list someone is actually did something. Thanks Dave.

Referer_Log is calling it quits.

I’m pulling up the stakes and folding Referer_Log so I can…write a new ICQ book for Macmillan. The world needs another quirky, general-interest weblog like the open source community needs Eric $. Raymond.

Well not like the world needs yet another Macmillian book 🙂

The best thing about my failed experiment in weblogging was the chance to try out Blogger. It’s a great tool — free, completely Web-based and none of the ugly wax buildup you get from competitive products.

Yes Blogger is a very cool tool!

E-Riots Threaten EToys.com

Meanwhile, a Web site supporting etoy has vowed “digital riots” and etoy itself predicted etoys risked being compromised during the busy Christmas shopping season.

Protest group out to ‘destroy’ eToys

A protest group calling for the destruction of online toy seller eToys said it already has hackers working on ways to interfere with site traffic counts and the toy seller’s server operations.

Hmm so “hackers” are threatening to mess with eToys. Usually I don’t condone web and internet defacement, other than they the laugh I recieve, but this seems to be a very valid form of protest.” If they aren’t listen sometimes you have to knock REAL HARD.” eToys ya might just be forced to start listening. BTW: I will not be “hacking” eToys 🙂

IntelLinux a Linux and OpenSource job site.

Be shares jump on Red Hat acquisition speculation might be the same as the RedHat taking over Corel but still an intresting rumor. I wonder if they would OpenSource BeOS, hope so.
