I have successfully disabled the frelling nudge "feature." I have no clue why LJ thought this frelling thing was necessary, but they certainly don't make it easy. You have to go to the administrative console, type "set disable_nudge 1" (without the quotes) in the posting box, click on [execute], and Bob's not only your uncle, he can't nudge you ( Read more... )

Torrents of rain yesterday and today, with more on the way, I expect, as Ophelia wobbles her way up the east coast. The current projection has her passing just south of us tomorrow morning. Just as long as she doesn't decide to make that left turn up Narragansett Bay. I'm going to shut down the servers tonight before I go home, just in case ( Read more... )

So, when I checked my e-mail first this morning, there was an anonymous LJ comment in my inbox. I marked it as read (I prefer reading comments in context), and clicked over to my most recent post on LJ to read the comment. Except there were no new comments in my most recent post. I checked all my other recent posts, and there were no new comments ( Read more... )

A few scattered thoughts while keeping an eye out for the occasional blue and gold FA-18 streak by my windows. It's not all that a good day for plane watching. The sky is overcast, and the cloud ceiling is low. Every now and then, I'll notice movement out of the corner of my eye, but when I look, it often turns out to be a sea gull. Probably just ( Read more... )

Ya know what's annoying? Logging into your LiveJournal and discovering that it's switched schemes from Dystopia to Xcolibur without asking permission.

Fixed now.

I was wondering why so many people didn't seem to have the problems with the new posting box, so I switched over to the S2 style posting interface, and hey, it works. The posting box resizes when you change the browser width, and the information boxes rearrange themselves at some point as the window gets narrower. It doesn't work that way in the S1 ( Read more... )

So, I have well and truly frelled my Mozilla and Firefox installations somehow. I made the mistake of downloading a patch for the baseball game I've been obsessing over lately. The patch wasn't the problem. The game works great. But to get the patch, I had to register at a games site that only lets you download stuff if you install their download ( Read more... )
