So, as some of you may have noticed, I've been more than a little quiet on the LJ as of late. Most of the people I'd friended on here have long since moved onto other sites, or only post intermittently. I still checked in and read what you posted until recently when I made the switch back to Firefox and tweaked some settings to be more privacy ( Read more... )

So, my computer was disconnected from the world^W internet again last night. Unlike Wednesday's downtime, today's downtime was not resolved with a restart of the computer in the morning. When this failed to fix it, the mother's boyfriend and I have attempted to trouble shoot. This gets problematic as he gets into the "that doesn't make sense!" hang ( Read more... )

Something wrong w/ LAN & my computer can't get online. Unsure when it'll be working again. Suspect hardware issue, but I don't have access to troubleshoot.

Computer coming down so carpets can be replaced. I'll be back later today.

So playing with the jabber on my hosting package today lead to me setting up a chat room. Anyone who wants can come join the fun. The room's named "chat" and the server is "conference.jabber.deathkitten.net". Even if I'm not around to talk, I should be idling in there, and I've set it up so it's a permanent chat room too. :)

So, I got some more emails this morning. I got a couple of automated ones telling me that allah_sulu had hooked me up with a couple months of paid time, and either he paid for extra icons too, or it was the LJ holiday promotion (I don't remember when that was good through). Either way, I now have extra icons and two months of paid time I didn't have to pay ( Read more... )

So I received two emails from LJ today, both of them automated it seems. The first one was letting me know that the automated payment for my paid account failed to go through. I could tell it was an automated email from the way it was formatted and how the "reason" for failure was sitting off on its own in a blockquote style. The reason for failure ( Read more... )

Anyone who's been talking to me regularly may have noticed that I keep dropping in and out at random. Apparently AT&T doesn't seem to think that reliable service is something they promised with our DSL subscription, as our DSL connection has been regularly dropping in and out a lot. When the mother's boyfriend has called tech support to ask what ( Read more... )

In case some of you aren't watching paidmembers, you will want to check out this post for paid time reimbursement due to the outage last week.

Wee, just when you think LJ won't make it easier for you to stalk someone, they introduce a new feature. Livejournal's New Notification System is currently paid and perminant accounts only, but they're planning on releasing it to basic and plus accounts with limiting factors like how many and what sort of subscriptions these accounts can subscribe ( Read more... )
