hi everyone,
hope you’re well!
Just wanted to make a brief announcement. Over the next two days (today and Thursday), Delimiter will be on a publishing hiatus, while we work on a substantial other project behind the scenes. If really important news breaks, then we will cover it, but for this two day period most of our energies will be going towards a separate project. This is also why our coverage has been a little more sparse and shallow than we’re used to, over the past several weeks. I apologise for this.
The details are all hush-hush for now, but we plan to launch this project next week, so we’re in the last throes of getting it settled. I can share with that its title is Delimiter 2.0, and its tagline is: Still just Australia. Still just technology. So it would seem obvious that we’re not venturing too far afield ;)
In the meantime, I encourage you to visit alternative tech media outlets for your news. My favourites are Whirlpool, iTNews, Ausdroid and The Verge. Thanks for your patience, and we look forward to returning you to your regularly scheduled Delimiter programming!
Cheers,
Renai LeMay
Editor + Publisher
Delimiter + Delimiter 2.0
I expect Delimiter 2.0 to be all web 2.0 styles
Web 2.0 is too radical and cutting edge! Anyway everybody knows 100% Flash built websites are where the future is at ;)
100% flash would be perfect. I can some productivity gains for myself with a 100% flash based web site.
Hmmm…curious. Are we going to get upgraded comments? (voting and an edit button would be awesome!).
Here’s another great tech site (US based though) http://arstechnica.com
My only ‘wish’ is for comments on mobile pages to be limited to 100 per page – 400+ comment articles makes Trev’s phone cry :'(
The desktop version works better on my phone than the “mobile” version. I am using the best non-4G phone available! So I don’t think it’s the phone.
If it goes “Metro” I’m going to :

My monies on Renai’s Editor being fired…
I’ve always been suss on that guy… he has a serious hard on for Turnbull and that’s *just not right*
porn site… it’s where the money is…
Tech porn, obviously
I cannot confirm or deny that Delimiter 2.0 will feature ‘saucy tech porn’.
dat editor.
related: saucy tech porn via semantic fluid (cough) flat responsive lowercase design in the cloud. calling it. jonny ive would be proud.
Nothing like having a rigid diode!
Mmmmm……saucy tech porn……drool…
Mmm, AJAX-y. :-) But surely we’re at at least Web 3.0 by now…?
Conservative publications like Delimiter tend to wait and watch while the edgier, more cutting edge sites such as AFR blaze a trail of innovation and experimentation with the latest trends in technology. Give Renai three or four years and he’ll be there, though – we believe in you, Renai!
“the edgier, more cutting edge sites such as AFR”
wot
Sorry, I though the sarcasm was self-evident… :-\
:)
Oooh interesting, but you know people don’t like change! :)
Good luck with the “hush-hush” business.
Should take the chance to move from bloated wordpress to Jekyll

Save a heap on hosting and improve reliability for next time you end up on the front page of reddit :D
No.
…Delimiter will now be delivered via a cabinet on the side of the road… not more than 800m from your premises… /wink
@stoffs: Noooo! Give me DTTP or give me death!^

The Premium content will come faster at a price, delivered by bicycle :-P

You’re publishing a newspaper aren’t you!
Cannot confirm or deny :)
You will be able to read a limited number of articles per a week for free after that you will need a paid subscription. Selected premium articles will be subscriber only.
Cannot confirm or deny :)

*not really.
BREAKING:

Cannot confirm or deny! :)
oooooo we can haz new shiny soon!
*jumping up and down*
STILL WAITING!
Still working :)
Hey everyone, just to clarify, a lot of people seem to think Delimiter 2.0 is a site upgrade to Delimiter — site redesign, new functionality etc. Just to clarify — it is not this :) It is an entirely separate site, with the URL http://delimiter2.com.au.
The important question though, can it be done in a way that’s faster and more affordable by reusing portions of Delimiter 1.0???
Delimiter 2.0 is already being plagued by transparency issues and numerous set backs. It’s looking like a white elephant to me. I call for a complete halt to Delimiter 2.0 until each reader has had a chance to perform their own rigorous cost benefit analysis.
lol
Mate I think there needs to be FOI request to ascertain the particulars. The editor is HIDING the truth, where’s the oversight here?
I shall have to write to my local member, at once. At once!
I think its time to bring in some 457 visa techs and speed up the progress of the roll out of Delimiter2
It will be by far faster and cheaper that way :P
PS are you taking on Whingepool with Delimiter2? and removing comments from your articles and moving the forum across
“Over the next two days (today and Thursday)”
Just a reminder, it’s Friday, and I have my coffee in hand. Just saying :)
All good things come to those who wait ;)
We are talking about Delimiter still? Not FTTH? :P
*Taps foot impatiently*
Are we there yet??
“…STAY CLASSY, SAN DIEGO!”
I didn’t get an email when I signed up for D2, should I have gotten an acknowledgement email or something??
Its Monday….. Just thought I would point that out… no reason.. no reason at all…
*cough* *cough*
I’m working hard :)
Can haz fireworks?
