There have been no new news stories in the past ~14 hours or so. Is it that quiet out there? Did something break? The queue says 3 stories pending. |

It has been extremely slow. Our aggregator seems to be starving to death. I have no explanation as to why. I have mentioned this to Bob, but haven't gotten a response yet on this issue. Even during the week, we're getting limited stories. We used to run 30-46 stories a day, even after sorting out all the junk. Now we're lucky to see 20-30 stories on a normal weekday. It's been a slow, gradual process occuring in just the last month and a half. I just fiinished our worship service. I'll see if I can scour around and find us some news. |

You could do like the rest of the news outlets and make up the news when things slow down... |

:-D And in other news, RMS was kidnapped by the same aliens that kidnapped Elvis, who was recently spotted near LXer.com. |

Rev - I am shocked at your blatant disregard for the facts. The aliens are closely aligned with the Elvis aliens, but are, in fact, a different group. I trust that you will make things right. |

> I am shocked at your blatant disregard for the facts. Not to mention the fact that there was no kidnap involved. It seems the aliens had heard about this thing called "Free Software" and were interested in learning more about it. Of course, they called it "Open Source", so RMS felt he had to take a hand personally to get them straightened out. The word is that they also have some advanced compiler technology which will shortly be integrated into GCC as payment in return. |

@Don: After writing this I went out to find some news but didn't find any. Slow day indeed. PS: may I ask what feeds you guys have in your aggregator? |

Sander, I honestly don't know. The Great and Wonderful Wizard has all that. I just handle the assembly line. ;-) |
