Daily Cup of Tech

I am usually writing you with some information about an article I have added to the blog or some new feature that I have added to the website. But, alas, today I am the bearer of bad news.

Since there was a very low user response to the reader polls, I have decided to stop with them for the time being. This does not mean that I will never bring them back but I think I am going to wait for a bit.

The one thing that you may have noticed over the past couple of days is that Digg badges have started to show up on the main articles. This is to just give you the reader and idea of what others are thinking of these articles. If you find that you enjoyed an article or found it to be useful, feel free to Digg it. This will help out DCoT as it will draw more attention to the website.

Actually, just submitting the articles to Digg has made a huge difference. My page hits nearly tripled yesterday! I do not expect that this will continue but it sure was cool to watch it happen!

   Thanks for the kind words. There are days when you don’t know whether or not your work is being appreciated. Good to see that it is.

   “I actually found your site via digg and digg it!”

   So did I. Am very interested in the LFS saga. Hoping for notifications of succuss. And the blow by blow accounts of how you did it.

   I have a nice,nearly new Gateway laptop sleeping in the closet. Maybe time to wake up sleeping beauty and put her to work….

   I’ve had a few people interested in the LFS project. Maybe we should make this a community thing and all work on it at the same time!

   Thanks for the kind words. Always encourages me to keep plugging along.
