IP, Pratchett

Jun 10, 2011 08:32

1. I have disabled IP logging for all the accounts I have control over. Creepy, invasive feature is creepy and invasive.

2. Is anyone going to the Discworld con in Madison? I want to go, but I'd rather know that I'll see someone (anyone) that I already know.

I was considering it, but not having a roommate made it prohibitively expensive. :(

:( Being a grownup and having to figure this stuff out bites.

Don't scare us like that! "IP, Pratchett" is way too close to "RIP, Pratchett!"

Oooo, good point! (And my subject line would be far more devastated than that. I want to attend the con partially because this will be my only chance ever to meet the man.)

I was thinking that if Sir Terry had met one of his more memorable characters, your headline would never be so casual. But my brain had an "OMGWTF!?!?" instant before I correctly parsed the headline.

It would be worth traveling to the Discworld con just to see him. I met him, years ago, not that he'd remember. I was in a group that had dinner with him, and I nearly disgrace myself when he ordered a banana daiquiri.

Yeah. LJ lets you log IPs for people who comment on your journal. Yesterday, it was showing location as well as the IP address, so I turned off the feature.

I honestly don't know. Soon? I haven't decided yet, either.

I can spring for a hotel room for the weekend. I just don't want to go alone.
