who wants to reinvent usenet? gwan, you know you wanna

[livejournal.com profile] en_ki brought to my attention [livejournal.com profile] elsejournal, an effort to decentralize journals.  Since i have a genetic defect that precludes any possibility of generating useful code, i'll probably just bring my typical idea-based energy, throw out some documents, and in general irritate people when i point out, "UR DOIN IT RONG."  Because that worked so well back when my tilted windmill was Usenet II.

I know some of you care.  And of those, some might actually have the time to put something up.

Why not...both are still in use, but unlike Usenet, FIDO doesn't lend itself to being nothing more than a large anonymous porn/pirate distribution network these days.

I was already designing something like this for the past week but it's going to be OS X 10.5 only unless I want to go to wxPython or Java...
