Obligatory reminder that if you are disgruntled with the changes to the default LJ commenting scheme and want to blog somewhere else, I have Dreamwidth invite codes that I would be happy to share with you. Just give me your email address and I'll send you one.

(I think I've managed to override the changes on my own LJ's comment pages, and I've ( Read more... )

In case it needs to be said, I would ask that none of the readers of this journal crosspost its contents to Facebook, Twitter, or any other site, whether it is a public or friends-locked entry. Also, since I see some of you are once again contemplating leaving LJ, be informed that I have a Dreamwidth account with this same user name at which all ( Read more... )

So did everybody just quit doing LJ or what? This "staying in touch with people and promoting my record and stuff" thing would be a whole lot easier if you guys would just come back here. I have seriously less than no interest in joining either Twitter or Facebook, in fact I am actively averse to both, but it's looking like I might have to if ( Read more... )

If you can see this on both LJ and DW, it means that my crossposting is working. Hooray!

Thanks to the generosity of

I don't plan to leave LJ as my main blogging platform, but I would be grateful for a spare Dreamwidth code if anyone has one. It turns out I don't really like InsaneJournal and I do want to have a back-up of this material. Plus, with a main blog and backups now, DW's automatic crossposting feature is VERY attractive ( Read more... )

By now y'all have probably heard about the LJ layoffs and all of the pants-pooping that has ensued. Now, I don't think LJ is circling the drain just yet (they'd have to answer to the Russians if they shut it down!), but having a backup is never a bad thing. So I finally bit the bullet and populated the InsaneJournal I was squatting on with all my ( Read more... )

Holiday gift suggestion: If you buy paid LJ time as a gift in December, the recipient also gets the additional userpics add-on. My paid time isn't due to expire for a few more months yet, but my userpics are, and I do enjoy and appreciate both services. So if you're looking for something relatively inexpensive and easy to get for me, you can put ( Read more... )

I trimmed my friends list a little today. Don't freak out - if you're reading this, you're here to stay. (c: I just cut off about 10 journals that are either older duplicates of journals where the person has moved to a new LJ home, or people who haven't posted or commented since 2005-ish. But if I removed you and you want to stay, just let me ( Read more... )

This is epic. I very much needed some good news on a snowy, crappy day like this one. Way to go, LJ! For real this time

Check out the new icon courtesy of lukeski. All I did was flip it so my guitar would be in the correct hand (which is technically the wrong hand). Thank you so much! I am enamored. Also, perhaps, a little narcissistic.

ETA: More coolness...See if you can find me here as well! (For those not in the know, MarsCon's theme this year is video games and ( Read more... )
