WordPress debate and the Penguin Walk
The erupting WordPress debate on Waxy.org over Matt’s choice of revenue stream to support the “business side” of WordPress is interesting, but I’m not going to go into a long rant over it. First off, let me say this. I understand that Matt “needs to live”, and the cost of maintaining WordPress runs high, but the choice of, and methodology of implementing the solution were ill-advised! If the links were transparent, plain, and obvious, it would have caused far less “up-roar” within the WP community.
Secondly, to everyone who is referring to this a “spamming”, it’s not. It’s cloaking! It’s equally wrong, but it’s not spam by any means.
Finally, and what I think makes this the most “wrong”, is the inclusion of hard-coded “no-follow” tags in the comments of WordPress 1.5, in the light of this “cloaking”.
Now, on to other things.
It’s 12:47 pm and I’ve been out of bed for 45 minutes. Not that I’m lazy, but I’m ill. I haven’t slept much in the past 48 hours, and for the last 6 have been plagued with “Scuttery Bum” syndrome, which also brings on bouts of the giggle inducing, buttocks clenching, “Penguin walk”. Oh well, why is it that I always seem to fall I’ll when I’m on a day off?
James rang last night, during one of my rare moments of sleep, to inform me that he’ll be coming to Denmark on the 21st as opposed to the 24th. Thank you man!! I didn’t fancy the prospect of travel to Copenhagen Airport on a Sunday, and now, as you’ll be here over the weekend we can get some real partying in!! 
Sorry to hear that you have the trotts:) drink plenty of liquids talk to you later
