Hi everyone! It may look like I rarely update this, but in reality, most of my posts are friends-only, or behind various filters. I'm not particularly choosy about who I add as a friend, but this account is for personal posts that I don't want to open up to the entire world ( Read more... )

I'm not sure I've ever really posted about my feelings on this, but I find the concept of a "friends cut" on LJ to be rather offensive. It sorta depends on who's doing it, but generally, if I'm following you on LJ, I care about you beyond just your words, and I also care about you enough to give you access to my non-public entries. So, when I see ( Read more... )

I'll start with the positive thing, something I forgot to mention before: I finally got some new plants. I'd been wanting more than just my unidentified-leafy-thing (which sprouted a vine and has literally taken over its window and curtains), so I finally picked up some new residents of the house ( Read more... )

I now have three Dreamwidth invite codes available, and before I offer them to one of the code-sharing communities, I figured I'd see if anyone on my friends-list wanted one :-)

A reminder: If you want an automatic invite code to Dreamwidth when they open at 9pm EDT (GMT -4), you have until then to create an OpenID account there. To do that, follow these easy steps:

1. Go to http://www.dreamwidth.org/openid/2. In the box next to the Login button, type the URL for your LJ. IE, if your LJ username is "someone", you ( Read more... )

My last post, regarding Dreamwidth, received mixed responses on my LiveJournal. There are several people who are interested in DW accounts, but several of the responses asked why Dreamwidth is so much different than LiveJournal. And, that's definitely a valid question, since my main reasons for switching aren't rooted in technical issues.

OMG yay! I have an account here! Thank you so much to denise for sending me an invite code; even though it was probably part of a mass-action, I don't care, I've been waiting for this for awhile :-)

In case you're reading this on LJ and haven't heard of Dreamwidth, it's basically a new project that's attempting to be what LJ used to be, and it ( Read more... )

Over the course of developing/using my Wordpress journal, I've decided that I definitely want to use it as an active component of my website, beyond just storing backups of my LJ posts there. It's an ideal method of writing site news, and using it even to the limited extent I currently am has encouraged me to post more often. Plus, the nerd in me ( Read more... )

I apologize for spamming everyone with this again, but the actual election is now open for the LJ Advisory Board. As many of you remember from earlier this month, I'm strongly in support of tango for this position, he's a great leader, long-time member of LJ's support department, and a great guy all around. To keep this announcement concise, I'll link ( Read more... )
