Yo.

Although I've been known to sometimes just keep the headlines coming up in a gnews applet. Like anything else, the quality of the information is variable, and there are vast hordes of trolls of various stripes. Nonetheless, they are in general pretty true to their mission of "news for nerds, stuff that matters". I follow The Register too, but it's rather a different place.

Just noticed they now have a journal and "friends" system. Tony, is that you as /. user "undertoad", user 104182?

Ha! *my* /. number is 10193. :-)
