So it's finally hit the point where my friends' page here has no entries because nobody I follow has posted during the time period it covers. Most people who are still posting anywhere are crossposting from Dreamwidth anyway. So just one final check... is anyone I know potentially still posting here and not there? Otherwise I guess it's time to ( Read more... )

Today's LJ poll of the day on the homepage is "Have you ever caught your significant other checking out another person?"

Pfffft. Do they count checking out hot people together? Sure.

It took us something like 32 hours in total due to a cancelled flight, but we're finally home. Vienna, Budapest, and Bratislava were totally awesome, more on which later, probably ( Read more... )

Something I've been thinking about, which was most recently brought up again in the context of Google Buzz wanting to do everything with your real name, ideally publicly connected to as many other real names as possible. Since I'm theoretically working right now, here's a quick copy/paste of what I wrote in a comment in donaithnen's lj:

I've noticed that ( Read more... )

So, I'm trying a new thing. I'm using peekfeed.com to deliver summaries of my twitter feed to myself via email, which I'll then use in a more organized attempt to copy and/or expand upon the actually interesting stuff in LJ posts periodically. This should mean there's no reason to follow kirinn_tweets unless you have a burning desire to read probably out-of- ( Read more... )

So, the twitter via LJ Feed experiment hasn't worked out so well. I wasn't really taking into account the fact that syndicated LJ accounts update at more or less completely random intervals, meaning it will often pick up a bunch of tweets at once. And then, the way the twitter RSS interacts with the way LJ formats RSS means every tweet is posted ( Read more... )

My poll ended up with a pretty even running for and against feeding twitter into my LJ (and no ideas for a better condensing tool), so I've come up with an opt-in compromise. There now exists kirinn_tweets, which s simply a syndication of the RSS feed of my twitter account. Add it or don't. Since, as mentioned, I average barely more than a tweet a day, it ( Read more... )

So a lot of my friends broadcast their twitter tweets to LJ daily using LoudTwitter. I know there are varying opinions on the utility of that, but I have an additional problem using it. I tweet fairly sparsely - my global average is just under 1.5 tweets/day since I signed up - so broadcasting daily seems like it'd have a really low signal to ( Read more... )

Ok, I now have a proper Dreamwidth account: Kirin @ dreamwidth. Not that by jumping in early, I actually have my name correctly spelled over there, as opposed to the extra letter (Kirinn) here on LJ (and Twitter, and everywhere else I didn't have an account in the first month of service or so ( Read more... )

So I've been using that twitter thing for a couple months now. I've been debating whether to syphon any of it over here to LJ. But the only tool I've seen for that is LoudTwitter, which seems to only have the option of posting daily... since I have on average barely more than one tweet a day in the 85 days I've been using it, that would be silly ( Read more... )
