Brie Gordon
I'm Brie, a 22 year-old graduate of Slippery Rock University's Computer Science department. My interests include Linux (generally and Ubuntu), networking, BSD-style operating systems including my own, BrieSD, translating English-Spanish-English for open source projects and LAMP configuration. Aside from that, I enjoy photography, making short films and soccer.
Posterous is one of my favorite new(ish) web sites!

Programming sites should not throw errors...
Someone left a comment here on unixsysadmin.org promoting a programming site. I had to check it out. Turns out that they hadn't even taken care of their own website first. Clicking ">HERE<" and then "Coding" threw a whole bunch of errors. Like:
They've since fixed the error above.
Their site, which was built with WYSIWYGwebbuilder.com (I kid you not), does not validate. I submitted a request for them to do some programming for me (they don't really mention what kind/language) and I was informed that:
What was weird is that the site has no advertisements (as of this writing) and their Twitter account, run by one Sébastien Landrieu is not following a million people without any followers yet. The domain name was registered only today:
You're thinking "It's spam...who cares?" and you're right. I don't really care; I just like checking stuff out. Also, I wanted to see how Posterous would handled quoted stuff. :-). --BrieP.S. - Posterous does not like signatures, it seems. What happens if I put content below a more subtle signature? Hmm...
