Update: Looks like they’re back online! Yay!

Sad. I really liked this service (it showed the new popular links on Delicious within the last 24 hours).

Hi there:

Populicio.us service has finished. I’m so sad for this but there is no other way.

Del.icio.us doesn’t serve its homepage as it did and I’m not able to get all needed data to continue Populicio.us.

Right now Del.icio.us doesn’t show all the bookmarked links in the homepage so there is no way I can generate real statistics. I would like to thank you all for your comments and suggestions.

I’ll try to come back with new projects.

Mailinator:Spam Map

Mailinator Spam Map
Mailinator(tm) is a service that gives you free, disposable email anytime, anywhere. No need to ever sign up. Send first - come to the site later. Mailboxes are created when email arrives for them (see the FAQ for more information).

Mailinator is about saving you from spam. But in the process it ends up getting plenty of its own (averaging over a million emails a day!). This map shows (in semi-realtime) ip addresses that are currently sending the most spam to Mailinator.

Maybe now I can get rid of the folder full of font sample printouts that I’ve been hanging on to… Maybe.

Linotype FontExplorer X

FontExplorer X sets a new standard for font management software. After several relatively sad years for all font users who were looking for a professional font manager, Linotype is pleased to fill the gap with the new FontExplorer X. Font management has never been so simple, and font sorting, font shopping and font discovery are now more fun than ever. FontExplorer X gives computer users all the font functions they could need, and lets them decide how deeply they wish to dive into various font themes.

Just read the first installment, and all I can say is, man, Cory is a great author, someone with the ability to predict the very near future by reading the tea-leaves of today. Go check out the story, I can’t wait for the rest.

Boing Boing: Cory’s novel-in-progress serialized for next ten weeks on Salon

Cory’s novel-in-progress serialized for next ten weeks on Salon
I’ve been working on a new novel since last December, working title “Themepunks.” The first third is in the can, and it is a short novel unto itself. The book is about a post-dotcom boom and bust, built on the ready availability of commodity hardware and open source code, and concerns itself with the lives of a gang of visionary tech entrepreneurs, journalists, bloggers, as well as Florida squatters, students in the midwest, and Brazilian geek activists. I’ve read aloud from it on a number of occasions, most recently at the Worldcon in Glasgow in August, and always to enthusiastic responses.

Salon magazine has begun to serialize the book, and they will publish a section every Monday for ten weeks. By that time, I hope act two will be done and Salon will be interested in it, though of course there’s no guarantee of either (but act one is self-contained and stands on its own). When the whole thing is done, Tor will publish it between covers and I’ll be doing my normal Creative Commons release, but I relish the opportunity to do what Dickens did — write a novel in serial form just a few weeks ahead of my readers.

Now that Second Life has made basic membership free instead of costing $9.95 to join, I’ve created an account there. You have to use one of their supplied last names, so I joined the Yamabushi family. Not because I know anything about them, more because it sounded cool as a name.

If you want to sign up to join to try it for free, make sure you put my Second Life name in when you’re signing up, then I’ll get a bonus for referring you.

Just remember, Gabriel Yamabushi sent you.

(Not like I really have any time to be playing or anything, but it probably is a good idea to participate at least a little in the metaverse.)
