Less Talk, More Do » Slashdot http://www.chrisfinke.com Christopher Finke is a software engineer who builds high-traffic websites (like AOL Shopping and Mahalo.com) and develops browser add-ons (like ScribeFire, TwitterBar, FireFound, and Tapsure) to enhance the Web.

It was covered on Slashdot and was received favorably by the Slashdot audience, but I don’t have the time anymore to update it every time Slashdot changes their UI or HTML.

If you’d like to take over development, let me know, and I’ll transfer the Slashdotter add-on to you on AMO; if nobody volunteers, I’ll be removing the add-on from AMO in a couple of weeks. (Like all of my browser extensions, Slashdotter’s source code is open source, so you could still develop your own version if you want.)

Thanks to Michael Bunzel for the patches!

Who, who, who, who? http://www.chrisfinke.com/2007/01/14/who-are-you-who-who-who-who/ http://www.chrisfinke.com/2007/01/14/who-are-you-who-who-who-who/#comments Sun, 14 Jan 2007 22:00:17 +0000 Christopher Finke http://www.chrisfinke.com/2007/01/14/who-are-you-who-who-who-who/ Apparently, when you post to Slashdot claiming to be someone you may not be, people don’t take your word for it. In the hour after I wrote that post, my access logs show that 10 different people searched Google for “Christopher Finke” and ended up at my site. (This normally happens about twice a month.)

Yes, Slashdotters, I am who I say I am.
