I'm aware that Daily Pokey is not being dailified. The command
I have in my cron file, when run manually, works correctly. So
for some reason my cronjob is not executing. I'm working on it.

I gotta say, I must be just about the funniest guy in the
world. Just look at all these people who have ripped off my
"open sores" joke:
- Wired News (19990401)
- Bob Metcalfe (19990621)
- User Friendly (can't find the cartoon in question, but it was at a Comdex or something)
- Foxtrot (20000207)
I know I'm overly protective about this. It just makes me think
that I'm doing things the hard way thinking up my own jokes.

Joe Mahoney reminds me that the low-tech version of Slashdot
in the pre-Y2K After Y2K! comics was called The Open Sores
Newsletter.
Note: I'm not mad at these people. It's just weird and
disturbing to make up a joke and then over the next two years see the
joke percolate up to appearing in newspaper comic strips like Foxtrot.
I'm fairly sure no one made up the joke before me.
I first used it a year before I saw anyone else use it.

I should link to Joe's page. Here
it is. Joe is from New Zealand. This uniquely qualifies him to
write about life in New Zealand.

Of course, this only got thought of just before everyone moves to
a journaling filesystem.
