Dilbert.com became even more better //at 16:07 //by abe
nion argued about the new Dilbert.com website now using flash instead of GIFs and I responded that it’s not as bad since Dilbert.com now also officially offers RSS feeds — without Flash.
It looks as if Scott Adams got more responses from nion type people since he divides the feedback to the new Dilbert.com site into three groups: Those who are angry about flash and bloat (mostly techies and linuxers), those who are fine with the design and features, but angry about the slowness due to overload and those who are fine with the design and features and ignore the speed. I’m in none of these groups.
But Scott Adams valued the feedback and responded especially to the first two groups of critics with something for which he couldn’t have found a better URL:
With this pure Dilbert, nion should now be happy again. I still prefer
the RSS feeds
though.

Dilbert.com changed - to the better //at 13:00 //by abe
nion argues about the new Dilbert.com website now using flash instead of GIFs.
Well, he hasn’t looked right: Dilbert.com offers now flash and static images. And the last ones are now much easier than ever to view or fetch, because Dilbert.com now has RSS feeds. Ok, at the moment, the feed seems broken respectively empty, but I have the last week of Dilbert comics in my feed reader. In colour!
Additionally Dilbert.com is opening its archive. (The link to the blog post currently broken, too.) Back to 2001 is said to be available now, the reminder is in the works
The new Dilbert.com site worked fine yesterday but seems to have some problems today. But I expect that they will fix that soon. :-)
Noticed it btw. because the inofficial Dilbert
feed from tapestry included a broken image yesterday. (Works fine
now, but no new comic in that feed today…)
