Slashdot Proxy Setup

You might have noticed Slashdot being a tad laggy during the days (that's putting it mildly). Well that's because we're saturating our T1 solid. A T3 is coming (actually, the T3 is months late, but anyway) but in the meantime, we've got a squid proxy on another connection running that you can use for speedier access. It's up at Cachedot.slashdot.org (once again we name things as painfully as possible) and it should be about 15 minutes behind the main site, but it should be much less saturated. Note that you'll need to relogin out there to get you cookie back, but other than that it should work pretty much transparently.
