Has anyone else noticed that LJ only seems to go back about two weeks in the Friend's feed now?  It used to go back pretty much forever, just keep tapping "Previous 10", but now it seems anything older than about two weeks won't come up.  Yet another great "feature" of the new and improved LJ.  No wonder they're going downhill fast.  :(

     Woke up feeling slightly nauseous - not enough to be sick, just enough to be "off" - and the day hasn't improved much since.

Got an Email from my Mom, saying that she was about to get on a plane to see my cousin in Vernon.  Apparently my cousin is in the hospital, and although she is "okay" at the moment, the prognosis is bad - very bad ( Read more... )

     That would sum up the day in one word.  For almost a year now, my NAS drive has been down.  It's one of the 2-bay units from Linksys, which I was really happy with when I first got it.  It was configured as a RAID array, so that the two 1-Terabyte drives were mirror images of each other, protecting me from data loss (so I thought.)  It took a ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm still alive, and still using this journal.  Admittednly I've been posting a lot more stuff on FaceBook, because for the most part FB actually works. I haven't even been able to log into LJ for the last month because it keeps jumping back to the login screen instead of processing my login.  Does it with both IE and Firefox.  I finally ( Read more... )

     It seems that a lot of folks are using Firefox instead of IE, so I thought I'd try logging into the site using Firefox, and see if it makes a difference.  I find it ironic that when I started out on the Internet so many years ago, I was a staunch supporter of NetScape; Everyone told me that I should be using IE, because that was the browser of ( Read more... )

     Is anyone else having issues with the editor?  Or is it just me?  It starts working out OK, but it seems that as soon as there's a line-feed, or if I add special characters (like italics, or bold) it starts bogging down severely.  Is this just an issue with Internet Explorer, or are other browsers having issues as well ( Read more... )

    It's been a few months now, and the visual editor for LJ still won't enter line-feeds.  I've sent the following to tech-support, and I guess we'll see what comes of it.  :/

For several months now, since you've forced everyone to use your new visual editor, the linefeeds don't work.  I can press ENTER until the key wears out, and it won't ( Read more... )

     Well, the latter of part of the day is just like the start - utterly craptastic.  Thanks LJ, for screwing up once again, and for not saving anything.

I had spent nearly an hour writing a reply to a friend's posting; Carefully thinking about what I was saying, carefully editing and sculpting it...  But when I hit
, LJ burps up "Your reply ( Read more... )

     The only problem with using LiveJournal's ability to backdate a posting, is that if you do so, it can get totally buried and your friends will never see it unless they actually go directly to your journal, rather than just reading their Friends List.  Also, I've noticed, back-dated entires won't even appear when you read the Friends List, so ( Read more... )
