Use Splunk as Your Remote Syslog Server

Flattr is an exciting new social networking / micro-payment service that allows
you to set a donation amount that gets divided among all the different
content you, um, flatter, online.

You start by making a small static contribution with the service. This money
is always gone at the end of the month–whether it’s to people whose content
you enjoy, or to a charity determined by flattr is up to you.

I’m thinking of this money as
a pool of appreciation for Internet content. I create content and I
want that content to be appreciated, and so I need to appreciate others’
content as well. It’s a beautiful thing.

So, let’s say you give $10 a month for your appreciation of all Internet
content. This appreciation is divided by how many things you show
appreciation for. If you flattr one article during the month, that
article’s author will receive $10. If you flattr ten articles, each author
will receive $1.

It’s a way of truly rewarding people who do things you enjoy–like Where the
Hell is Matt, and XKCD, etc. Another thing that makes it compelling is
knowing that every person you’re giving money to also has an account, which
means they are givers as well. It’s frickin’ brilliant.
