The rules are simple, so suggest a site. Also: do we like this "ganged" format? Seems like separate posts would get noisy. What's your preference? Update: 2005-10-13 15:09:06Let's put it to a vote. 12 Comments

I think the choice to move to a ganged format is a side-effect of poor layout choices made on the main page. If your front page were less cluttered and allowed room for the actual entries, you might not feel compelled to hide all your interesting information behind the cut. By the way, that Japanese filing system is one that I've used in all sorts of contexts. It's a common computer science data structure called an LRU or MRU list. Usually you keep an LRU or MRU as a linked list of pointers, and move used items to one side or the other. It's useful in OS design for things like memory management, where you re-use old chunks of memory to store cached copies of on-disk data. So imagine that instead of pulling the folder off the shelf, you use the contents as scratch paper or something. » POSTED IN:
