A month and a bit without a computer and I totally get out of the habit of LJ.  I didn't even post on my birthday yesterday or anything.  So, what's going on ( Read more... )

theferrett makes a very good point about confidence and things, in a metaphor involving D&D.

A point I can empathize with quite well, and I know many other people I know can too. Except probably the part about having a ridiculous number of sex partners. I dunno, some of y'all are pretty freaky.

I know Leti, at least, was complaining about these, and no wonder. They're damn annoying, any time you move the mouse over a link, it pauses to load the snap preview. Luckily, there's ways to get around it. One can be found here, at the LJ of somebody named shlomif. Go to the Viewing Options under settings, and uncheck the "enable graphic previews" ( Read more... )

Here's two posts by other people that are interesting, and this way I don't have to do any work!

First, theferrett on the amazingly ugly designs for the Presidential dollar coins. They're really bad representations of the presidents. I wonder how hideous Nixon will look.

And second, gwalla on the "scientific" most wanted and unwanted songs possible. I'm still ( Read more... )

I've been thinking about the story of my unfinished Nanowrimo thing. And I think I know what a couple of the problems were, like trying too hard to keep it about one style of music, something novel length needs to have changes of tone. And trying too hard to keep it a specific kind of awesome and not letting things shift around. But anyways, I'm ( Read more... )

I post stuff semi-regularly to snarkoleptics about webcomics, but usually don't crosspost it here. I wonder if I should. A good chunk of my friendslist is people from snarkoleptics, but the majority isn't. I guess it depends how much people want to see me rambling about webcomics. Any opinions?

Something, I don't know what, in some LJ posts is crashing Mozilla. Old Mozilla, which I still use for LJ and a couple other things, just out of habit. Maybe it's just time to switch over to using Firefox for it, but I wish I knew what was causing the crashes.

Apparently, I've had this LJ for two years now, as of 20:51:50 on 5/24/06. With, before this one, 1,111 posts on it. I wanted to write up some kind of profound long thing about this fact, but I can't even really think of any good description or interesting things to say. It's just kinda weird to realize it's been that long. Or that short, ( Read more... )

How many people out there read other people's friends lists? Apparently it's semi-common, and I hadn't even considered doing it, really. It makes sense, in a way, since you know you have overlapping interests with person X on your list, so people they have friended probably you might find interesting too. But in the almost two(!) years I've had ( Read more... )

Some kind soul posted these absolutely bizarre Russian Star Wars posters, over in warren-ellis's LJ. They are weird and awesome.
