Something weird happened yesterday.  I was re-reading and revising the novel so far (working title:  Winter's End) off the icloud version when I discovered that Chapter III had been text clipped out of existence.  All that was left was its title.  I'd never heard of text clipping before nor had I asked for it nor did there seem to be any way to ( Read more... )

OOf. Glad you found it somewhere! Looking forwards to the next one, when it's done.

Wish I could follow you some place that wasn't owned by the Russian government, but so it goes.

DW = Dreamwidth, which started as a fork/alternative of Livejournal many years back. Most people who used to be on LJ have moved over to Dreamwidth.

BS = Bluesky, the hot new alternative to Twitter or other microblogging services. Well, it has been around for a year or two now.

I moved to Dreamwidth a few years back when Russia took over LJ and it's very similar, almost a clone, though it's been a bit hard to reconnect with people there. Honestly, the only reason I still have an account here is to follow you.

Bluesky is nice, less asshats, and you can block them easily if needed. It doesn't have an algorithm that pushes posts based on followers and engagement so you can get the people you are actually interested in rather than what Twitter thinks you should see.

Also, back up EVERYTHING in multiple places! I had an external drive that had a lot of stuff on it, which was great until the external drive died and decided never to work again. Luckily I had most of the important things on my internal drive and my photos are backed up on CD's as well, but I'm going to have to try to import some stuff off of a old, out of date laptop.
