CmdrTaco Leaves Slashdot

If you have been, in any way, involved in the Internet in the past decade or so you'll know the name CmdrTaco. His real name is Rob Malda and he started Slashdot, a news aggregation site and proto-blog in 1997 after building his own CMS in perl. Malda and his crew defined the early geekosphere and, back before behemoths like Gawker, Weblogs Inc, and, well us, roamed the Earth, the worst and best thing a server could be is Slashdotted: worst because the sheer deluge of traffic tore down your site and best because, well, the creme of the Internet was knocking on your door.
