MAN, getting back from your special “suckdustspammersanddie” page is fun.

Anyway, what I was TRYING to say before being so rudely interrupted was, I think it’s a little strange speaking Afrikaans and being vegetarian amongst braai lovers

Congrats on the new job

Great information-gathering, Jeff. Automattic’s recruitment method sounds similar to Google’s geek tests.

Thanks for the link, btw.

Just goes to show the leverage that the Net is capable of providing. As for me, I still haven’t been able to grasp the difference between an open source project and a commodity project. It seems that with the former, you get users to do the hard work for you, while your outfit makes a killing at the bourses. Of course, I may be completely wrong about this. My point is where and when does herd mentality turn into closure. Why is there always safety in numbers. And even if we resign to this fact of life, how do we know whether all the refinement justified all the feedback.

And here I was laughing at the HTTP message. Who knew they were serious? I suppose Automattic had the last laugh.
