Fish or cut bait. Shape up, or ship out. Put up or shut up. Just publish the damn thing, norm.
The important thing is not what the author, or any artist, had in mind to begin with but at what point he decided to stop.
Hello World
I've been fiddling with this site for a while now. I have my reasons, and it's been working for a few weeks, but I've been a little reluctant to actually announce it.
Partly, I think I've been hesitant because I'm not sure I have
anything to say. What if you gave a party and nobody came? The
diametrically opposing fear is that everyone will come and the site
will simply self-destruct under the pressure. (This server sits in my
house, behind a cable modem; I have no real idea how much bandwidth
there is to spare, but I'm pretty sure /. would
drive this site right into the ground.)
With respect to the former fear, I think the articles about DocBook[1][2] might actually have value. And for the latter, well, there's only one way to find out, right?
