The OutRider Computing Journal: OutRider Turns One

[ Thanks to Jason R.

“. . . and the Editor says: big deal. Well, I suppose it is
something to be happy about for me but not really all that exciting
for readers. So this article will be a brief look at the best of
OutRider in the last year, some of the stuff that I have been able
to do as a result of OutRider and the obligatory “what the future
may hold” bit.”

“In the last year the following articles have generated the most
interaction from readers which speaks much more than hits
alone:

  1. The Text Based
    Interface
    : By far this article generated the most feedback, the
    most discussion and was perhaps the most misconstrued. Many readers
    thought it was about why a text based interface was superior to
    graphical ones when it was not. oh well.
  2. An
    Overview of the /proc Filesystem
    : A lot of people liked this
    article for the information (which at the time was sort of hard to
    get). To be honest, many of the outbound links are better.
  3. User
    Management Commands
    : Alot of readers gave me a quick “Thanks
    for the reference dude” – you are most certainly welcome.
  4. Source Code
    Typesetting Practices
    : I got a lot of great ideas from this
    article. Many readers really enjoyed sharing their ideas about
    typesetting source, I definitely enjoyed the interaction in this
    article.
  5. X
    Window Managers
    : I was somewhat surprised since this article
    was so short, I am guessing most people used it as a
    reference.”

“Well, that is all cool to talk about the best, but I am not
above the worst of OutRider!…”
