Shake It Off
We're officially two days into the new year, and I'm finally getting around to updating. It's been a while, huh. There's been a good reason for that - I've been ill for almost the entire month of December, and it's still going on. All the ugly details are on my plurk, but it's basically been my stomach disagreeing with me on a good number of counts

And Yus! I am willing and able and waiting :3 I'm currently without Internet, but it should be up by Saturday so any time from that point on, feel free to send it!
(also, did we ever get a total for the dress? :x)

Okay! I'm not sure I have your email, though - is it on your LJ?
(I haven't sent it yet, but it's on the Do This Dammit list for Saturday. Depending on how shipping is, we're looking at ~$50 total.)

Woo! And I'll send you the paypal that day, since interwebs shall be restored and I'm not fighting with that site on my phone.

Sounds good! I shall get that sent off on the weekend, then, and hopefully you will have it shortly thereafter.

Definitely still up for betaing! Just send it over whenever's good for you (I think you've still got my email?). The next two weeks or so will be very busy for me so I might not be able to get much done, but I can probably make a start!
At the risk of sounding really stupid, what did I miss with the whole 'everyone's off to Dreamwidth' thing? I got a few of the details, but yeah. I sort of looked away for five minutes and now everyone's relocated. XD

I do have your email and I just sent it to you. It's pretty dang long, but I'm not in a hurry - whenever you get around to it is good.
HAHAHA OH MAN it's kind of a long saga. If you look at default comment pages (find a community in which customized comment pages are turned off and you'll see what I mean), they are now ugly as hell. Basically, LJ changed a whole bunch of things that didn't need to be changed - S1 comment pages, removing subject line in comments, layout, icon choosing, auto refreshing, losing the Parent and Link buttons, all sorts of fun stuff. The site doesn't work for a good number of users, it's completely nonfunctional on mobile devices, and the new layout is giving some people migraines. It didn't help that automatic payments "accidentally" got turned on for some paid accounts that either did not or have never used them. The straw that broke the camel's back, however, was the fact that igrick, the head of LJ Russia (so essentially the head of LJ), has handled ( ... )

Oh, wow. That's...a lot of stuff that could've been avoided. o_O I'd noticed the comments changing and wondered why it needed to be done when it was fine before, but the rest I hadn't heard about (I don't use LJ on my phone and I've never had a paid account, so yeah). I guess by his reaction that he doesn't seem to care about driving members away, which is kind of stupid given LJ's a business based on providing a service, and if Dreamwidth gets a lot busier fandom-wise than LJ, even the people who didn't really know or care about all this will probably end up heading that way too.
Not the most coherent reply to it all, I know, but I'm still busy squinting at the screen going "whaaaat?". XD

The thing is, a lot of people didn't know about it initially, given that it was announced in Russian on igrick's journal and never really explained in the news comm at all. Google Translate is our friend, I suppose.
But yeah, it's been a rather amazing customer service snafu. And don't worry, "what" was a pretty common reaction. |Db
