The latest weirdness on LJ is that for the past few days they have reassigned new colours to all the journals I read, so I can no longer quickly see who's posted recently just from glancing at the colours... particularly since the combinations of text and background colours they have hit upon frequently make the names illegible ( Read more... )

I may as well post something while it's possible to cross-post to LJ. I seem to be able to access LJ for a few hours late at night, which is making me wonder if Russian state hackers knock off at midnight... Anyone wanting to add Dreamwidth to their portfolio of journals, you don't need an invite at present, though I probably have a couple if you ( Read more... )

Further to yesterday's LJ silliness, whether they back down on imposing nasty new formats or not, I'm planning to revert to importing comments on my LJ journal to the primary version on Dreamwidth. I did this when I imported the journal itself to Dreamwidth three and a half years ago, but then I stopped, because some of you have objections to ( Read more... )

Very glad to have heard from some friends in New York that they're safe, even if some have lost their power supply. Hope everyone else in the area is OK too.

Happy Birthday to pinkdormouse and waveney, both of whom may be found in ( my latest Mindmap update! )

Happy St Patrick's Day, everybody...

It does! I can crosspost to kalypso_v at Live Journal, Greatest Journal and Insane Journal. Many thanks to the several people I don't know at all who have explained how to do this, viz helkamaria, snapetoy and stoney321.

Since I've just had two requests for an explanation, I'll attempt to give one - it's essentially drawn from ( Read more... )

Disaster today. As I was finishing my shopping, and steering wheely bag over the step at the greengrocers', one of the plastic-bits-that-attaches-the-wheel-to-the-axis snapped off, causing the wheel to become detached. It was one of the two main wheels, at the back, so it was quite awkward wheeling it home. I eventually worked out that the best ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday yesterday to fifitrix, and today to katlinel! Who may be seen slashdancing among you in this month's version of ( my mindmap )

"Go into your journal. Find the 42nd entry. Copy, paste, post. This is the meaning of your life."
