The Linux Australia Planet [0] is usually pretty good

If you are into web development there is sitepoint.com blogs[1], some of
which is from here.  There is also builderau.com[2] which can have some
good stuff.

There is APCmag.com[3] which has been going down hill steadily for a
while.  I have decided not to renew my print subscription for a few
reasons.  The last straw was when the online version called me a fatty
(with a pic) in a piece about the Google Developer Day.

The Age technology[4] news is slashdot repackaged /. lagging by upto a
week.

I have 50 or 60 feeds I subscribe to, so let me know if you need more
geeky news sources.

Cheers

Dave

Not Aussie, but I have both ArsTechnica and Phoronix in my RSS reader:

http://arstechnica.com/
http://www.phoronix.com/

Ars covers the occasional Linux bit, but is a good industry-wide news
site.  The authors are highly technical, so the news is generally of a
better quality than sites like ZDNet and others, who quite frankly make
me embarrassed to be in professional IT sometimes.  One of the article
writers has a background in micro electronic engineering, and their
articles on new CPU design are very in depth, but still easily readable
even for those without similar qualifications.

Phoronix is dedicated to Linux and Solaris, and has a host of reviews
and benchmarks of various Linux distros running on new hardware,
including things like WINE to native Windows comparisons, etc.

Hi list,

I am a bit curious as to what people here read daily? Obviously, there is no 
slashdot-like page hosted within Australia. 

The websites/forums that I regularly visit are slashdot, linuxworld, 
whirlpool, lwn and ddj. Are there any more I am missing from the scene that 
could potentially be of interest?

thanks. :)
