I thought the fact it is running from a Lisp script, uses Hunchentoot, and uses XSLTs for it's feed pages already puts it in some niche category of "huh, neat".
In my memory it used to be more common to have a colophon on a website or special projects. I always enjoy things like this and when I teach the students are required to create a colophon as part of the project grading rubric
Every morning, I wake up about 7:00 a.m. or 7:15 a.m., and then I usually have a glass of water that I put on the bedside table the night before. Then I make my bed, and then I go into the bathroom and I shave, brush my teeth, and take a shower. Next, I come back into my bedroom, and, if it's a work day, I put on my security uniform.
When people leave snarky comments there is usually (but not always) some trigger and I am genuinely curious what made you leave the comment? Was it because I required student projects to have a list of tools and methodologies?
It is easy to forget what it is like to be a beginner, even for those in the current generation growing up with so much technology. I think they are great for helping expose people to ideas, tools and software and give them leads on how they can create similar works. Even if a project can't be open source there can be all sorts of valuable info in just listing the underlying tools / software / libraries used.
