Oh Livejournal, a month has gone without a post from here. I have no ongoing blog project to force a daily post, and my attention is diverted constantly to the social media whose wheels are more squeaky and whose serotonin rewards are more immediate. If you miss me here and don't know me elsewhere, let me know. I am on ( Read more... )

I sure would like to be able to link my Livejournal and Tumblr accounts. It's easy to link Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and some others I don't use (to tumblr) but LJ always seems a bit more difficult. I guess LJ is supposed to be used differently, but I'd like some of my tumblr content to come over here automagically ( Read more... )

There’s one person’s LiveJournal that I’ve read for the past few years. It’s really two people-they’re a couple and they live in Boston and they foster pit bulls. For some reason I clung onto them five or six years ago. I don’t know how I found them, but I check in on both of them all the time. I sent the guy a book he was saying he wanted. I hoped ( Read more... )

Thank you, Russian spammers, for making me feel justified in keeping comments behind a screening procedure. Sorry to everyone else.

Okay, so I just uploaded my pictures and there's a million (no, just under 70) that need to be organized in different ways. That's not so different from how I usually do things, actually I can see how to do this batch a little more clearly than some other times ( Read more... )

Holy cow I was away for 2 days and you people posted like it was 2003! I finally caught up, more or less, but let me know if you had a specific message ("Hey Jef, You suck!") or some spider or fungus to identify. I hate to miss those. Alexis and I went to an inn (I want to call it a bed and breakfast, since an inn really should have a pub on the ( Read more... )

My Father, my brother and my brother's kids are in Vancouver (the big city in Canada, not the island nor the city in Washington). I looked at my old posts from me and my dad's trip there, (to recommend stuff to my non-vacation-planning family) and discovered that I had friends-locked most of them. I think I was shy about posting vacation pics at ( Read more... )

Hey everyone! Since I've used up my LJ scrapbook storage, and lost my photo manipulating software, I have less control over the size of my photos. I could make an effort to ensmallen them somehow, if it's annoying to see giant pictures on your friends' page. I'm not even sure if they aren't so big that they throw off the dimensions of the page for ( Read more... )

So last Friday we tested to see if my laptop is one of those ones that works faster with the electronics immersed in coffee, but it was not to be. So I'm updating from work, and doing most of my internet via phone. So the main thing I use my computer for--uploading pics and sharing them on livejournal--is on hold for the time being ( Read more... )
