Diary

Well, I am chagrined to say you have helped me understand that scoop sites aren't all the same. My story that was overwhelmingly rejected here just made front page at K5, 141 to 71, with 86 front page votes.

One the other hand, the gentlemen who asked me if I would make such a speech in my local pub gave me reason to understand why I might well like it better here. See my advice to a new K5 member. He's a troll of course, but I'm having fun pretending I don't realize that.

I'm solicing comments as to whether I should submit my previous diary The Way of the White Hat SEO Ninja (note that's a HuSi link) as a K5 story. What's your take? (Poll Inside) If you don't already know me from K5 and slashdot, you're going to get an eyeful from that diary.



Yes, I know it's long, but it took me eight hours to write it, as I worked hard to do the best job I possibly could. I take my writing seriously.

I would change the link in the intro to point at my new story on K5 instead of my article's original location.

Here's a drawing I did a few years back. I like to draw:

 I am absolutely delighted that HuSi lets us post images. You'll be seeing lots more of my drawings and photos. I've long wished for it at K5, but all the goatsex would be intolerable, even if they used the same system HuSi does.

It looks like the gauntlet has been thrown at TPD...

I was trying to really capture the essence of bugness though.

Did it one night while listening to some jazz at the Jahva House in Santa Cruz. One of the musicians took notice of it while he was performing, and came over to chat about it on his break.

looks like something out of a China Miéville story.

WIPO, and I like your drawing by extremely tedious HuSer (4.00 / 1) #5 Thu May 05, 2005 at 04:27:18 AM EST
WIPO: I don't give a fuck what you post at K5 (excuse my Italian).



Mr. HuSer exhibits a good point by garlic (2.00 / 1) #10 Thu May 05, 2005 at 06:10:11 AM EST
at HuSi, there exist people who read K5 already, so you don't need to talk about k5 here. There are also people who don't care a bit about k5, so there's no need to talk about k5 here.

goatsex intolerable? by tps12 (2.00 / 0) #8 Thu May 05, 2005 at 05:42:40 AM EST
I'm afraid I don't understand.

I think the goat might object

if you want to harrassharness another scoop site, you can try dailyKOS. I hear they like new users. Or perhaps photographica would enjoy your particular style of writing.



I've decided to start my own, just last night by MichaelCrawford (1.00 / 1) #14 Thu May 05, 2005 at 08:08:54 AM EST
I registered a domain a while back, that I haven't known what to do with, but now I do, I'll start a scoop site. Here, let me start the googlebombing now:

There's nothing there but a placeholder, but it's pagerank 5 because I used to link it from my pagerank 6 homepage.

Most of us are here because we want to get away from k5, even those of us who post there. It's not that you can't talk about it, but if your posts are "blah blah k5 blah blah k5 blah blah k5", expect to see a high "ignore stories" rating.
