"Why paleontologists shouldn't play computer games..."

This title seems to have a spurious "n't" in it for some reason... :)

Hmm. The #1 film in the US on my birthday was a Natalie Wood film called 'Penelope', which I've never heard of...

I shall console myself with the thought that the UK #1 single when I was born was 'Good Vibrations'!

LJ has an admin console? WTF?

[gonzo21]

I know right? That was my response.

So much of LJ's code is antiquated still. I remember seeing an announcement on Dreamwidth a year or so ago where they said they'd added error messages to a particular form. And I thought, what do you mean -- you're not using some sort of HTML form framework that does validation errors for you OOTB? And they're probably not -- every form is probably its own totally separate chunk of code.

I think so, yes. And they compounded their problems when they sacked all the legacy code people in American and relocated operations to Russia, where none of the coders had any familiarity at all with the basketcase of coding that is LJ.

They didn't wait long to show their true colours, the Tories, did they.

Sadly so long as IMMIGRANTS ARE AT CALAIS! the people of this country are by and large too stupid to realise it.

Damn, 7 comments and it's already hit top-25 today?

LJ should totally be paying you for this Andy.

[andrewducker]

It's not comments, it's views. And, as far as I can tell about 200 people turn up here at lunch every day to see what links I have.

It's not GRRM levels of fans, but enough to make me the 22nd most popular person on LJ.

[alextfish]

Wow. 200 views is enough to be 22nd most popular on the site? There really aren't many people left here any more, are there? :/
