Newsy, snarky Reg Developer (or why English tech writing is way funnier than anything we do over here)

I've seen the snarkish postings of Reg Developer before. To say that British and Australian Web sites covering technology are way more entertaining than those in the U.S. is a bit of an understatement.

And Reg Developer doesn't disappoint. Its writers know what's important, and they aren't afraid of stirring controversy.

It's the newest addition to my links, which you can usually see to the right of the top post on this blog.

What drew me this morning was an article on the slow, slow process of approving new Debian developers.

Another that got some attention is The Missing Five-Minute Linux Manual for Morons:

At any given time, in various places and languages around the world, there are simultaneously 14 blog entries being written by Linux neophytes, documenting their first faltering steps.
This rate is well down from the 2002 peak of 37 such articles generated per hour, but is still impressive, especially when you remember that back in the old days most blog software defaulted to subject line 'I try Linux!!!' .

It describes this blog very well.

That's in addition to the other sign-in choices, which include starting a Movable Type account on this blog, Typekey, OpenID, Live Journal and Vox. If you have trouble getting your Movable Type account verified, or any of the other sign-in options are not working properly, please e-mail me. With these added ways of signing in, there's more reason than ever for you to make a comment (or several!).
