Quit Slashdot

2005-05-03 17:13:21.44482+02 by ebwolf 0 comments

I'm not sure when it was but sometime around five years ago, I emailed Dan asking how he manages to get anything done after taking time to deal with email and reading his various favorite blogs and keeping up with Slashdot. I guess Dan answered my question in his own way by not replying to my email <grin>. I eventually found the answer myself by going cold-turkey from tech for about six months (doing yoga and living in a VW bus). Now there is a site focusing on what I realize was my biggest time-drain: I just needed to Quit Slashdot.

Now I just try to keep up with Flutterby and Slug. Of course, email is always an issue, but staying off ranting LISTSERVs helps.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
