MOTD::Message Of The Day::Summer 02012 (edition 45)

12 May 02012 (the MOTD is now using 5-digit years)

This is the 45th edition of the MOTD. The Spring 2012 MOTD has been added to the MOTD archive.

The MOTD blog was named after the /etc/motd file used on Unix systems. Unix systems are multi-user systems and SysAdmins use the /etc/motd file to communicate messages to users upon log in.

I should let the MOTD die, but I can't. This 15-year-old blog could be deleted using one command-line: rm -rf $motd

The MOTD suffers from a severe case of linkrot (i.e. broken hyperlinks), but from day one the MOTD was considered a WORM (Write Once Read Many) resource. What you read on the MOTD is what I posted and the linkrot provides a picture of just how much the WWW has changed over the last 15 years.

During the Spring 2012 MOTD, I posted 86 times to my Stocks::Stuffer blog at Blogspot.com, 22 times to my Yottagoo blog at Wordpress.com, and three times to my AzFoo blog at AzCentral.com.
