Bits and pieces

Best Doctor Who post evar. I had to read it twice before I completely got it, and it obviously sailed over the heads of a lot of the commenters.

For the three of you who care and haven't seen it: Match It for Pratchett. (Concept from fastfwd, catchy slogan from akicif.)

I got as far as point no. 2 then thought 'Cybernaut? Why are they mentioning Cybernauts? Surely everyone knows about Cyber... aaah!'

That Doctor Who post is fabulous.

My take on the whole LJ thing: make commenter-only free, ad-free accounts. That would put it much more in line with other blogging sites, where you can register to post comments but that doesn't mean you get set up with an actual blog. It also neatly addresses the concerns of people who no longer feel comfortable saying "You can get an account just to comment and read my locked posts, it's free!". And if you want to actually blog, pony up one way or another.

Can you add open-ids to your friends list? Because otherwise it only helps with commenting on unlocked posts.

Can you give them access to friends-locked posts?

...Ah, I see you already answered that. *) Nifty, thanks!

Awesome Who post, thank you for that link.

The Who post is brilliant.

Did you hear the rumour that the Doctor was going to be recast as a babbling hyperactive with weird dark hair?

That Doctor Who post is brilliant. What makes it especially brilliant is the number of people who just didn't spot it! That made my day...
