From “Welcome to Spread OpenID“:
Spread OpenID is a platform helping to spread the idea of OpenID and make it more known among users. It’s mainly focused on end users who have read or heard about it but don’t know where to start. It is not a competing site to OpenID.net or any other site. Spread OpenID works alongside the OpenID community wherever possible.
Amen brothers! Spread it. Spray it. Loud and clear!
From: “Spammer Alan Ralsky Indicted“:
Several users have written to tell us that notorious spammer Alan Ralsky has been indicted along with ten others on 41 counts of spam-related illegal activity.
Good: 11 down.
Unfortunate: still 3,245,098 to go.

From “PHP 4.4.8 Released“:
This release wraps up all the outstanding patches for the PHP 4.4 series, and is therefore the last normal PHP 4.4 release. If necessary, releases to address security issues could be made until 2008-08-08.
So long old friend. You’ve served us well, but it’s time for you to die, die, die!.
From “The Next Google Search Challenger: Blekko“:
Rich Skrenta, who created the first computer virus (Elk Cloner), co-founded the Open Directory Project, and co-founded online news site Topix, may have bitten off the biggest challenge of his career – taking on Google. In search.
Taking on Google is a statement that is now so cliché, but this is one guy (and team) who might actually have a shot at it.
From “IPv6: coming to a root server near you“:
Just before year’s end, ICANN/IANA sent out a short message saying that “on 4 February 2008, IANA will add AAAA records for the IPv6 addresses of the four root servers whose operators have requested it.” […] That means that as of February 4, 2008, it will (theoretically) be possible for two IPv6 hosts to communicate across the IPv6 Internet without having to rely on any IPv4 infrastructure. It’s been a long journey to get to this point.
W00t! No pun intended. Well, maybe a little. ;-)
