jumping on the bandwagon

okay, i have totally jumped on the identi.ca bandwagon. for all that don’t know, it is a FOSS alternative to twitter that uses Laconica. I’m not sure how much i will use it until it integrates better with some of the services that i already use (mainly twitter and facebook). Also, a firefox addon wouldn’t go astray either.

Feel free to subscribe to me on identi.ca:

If you are lucky enough to be at FUDCon this weekend, and want to tell everyone on the planet, you can add a special FUDcon ribbon to your hackergotchi. Check out my awesome example below: (the cartoon head is a creation of nicu’s)

So if you want to create your own FUDCon hackergotchi follow my simple steps:

download the template in SVG format
open it up in Inkscape
add your hackergotchi
export the document to PNG
