As it happens, LJ's ongoing issues mean its servers (understandably) aren't up to letting Dreamwidth accounts do imports, so I haven't managed that so far ( Read more... )

I think my DW account is about to get really messy. I have the import tool all ready to go for my entries/comments etc., and there's no apparent way to set a date range, so it's presumably going to at least bring in everything I manually cross-posted for the first year or more that I was on DW. >.> With luck it at least won't bring in everything ( Read more... )

As usual, many of you already know about this. Bear with me.

In the same update where, as I mentioned earlier, LJ a) introduced privacy-breaching cross-platform post/comment notifications and b) broke tags with slashes (

You know, I try not to gripe too much about LJ these days--I think of Dreamwidth as my primary online home, and I drop by LJ 'cause that's where so many of my friends hang out, so while things still affect me I try not to let 'em bug me too badly. But the number of times that LJ has posted updates ("upgrades"! To "improve your experience!") that ( Read more... )

I always enjoy reading Dreamwidth's weekly updates, because they're always working on something new and cool-sounding to make the site better to use. Often the things they're changing aren't things I immediately have a need for, but they always sound nifty.

I need to stop writing partial posts and then wandering away, often coming back to them only to say "meh, I'm not gonna finish that" and delete them ( Read more... )

March is when I start keeping a closer eye on the weather forecast than usual, since at this time of year Nova Scotia's weather changes with even less notice than we usually expect. I refuse to be lulled into a false notion of it being spring already, even though the temperature's gone noticeably above freezing for maybe a week already, and it ( Read more... )

One of these days, I'll actually get around to using the DW cross-posting utility. And backing up my LJs. But I'm no longer procrastinating on uploading a custom mood theme to DW; now I'm holding out for a Yotsuba&! theme. Someday, if I only wait and dream, there will be such a thing ( Read more... )

I'm trying to decide whether I should get a Tumblr account to add to my list of online haunts (most of which get neglected to some degree or another, although they all contribute to nibbling away at my time). Does anyone have any opinions about the site? Right now my main reason for wanting an account is "there are people I adore using it!", which ( Read more... )

Seen via a couple of people (most recently meganbmoore), "Buffy vs Edward (Twilight Remixed)". Edward stalks the wrong girl. *g*

My original paragraph was: "I don't have enough brain power to do any last-minute participation, but the existence of a Dreamwidth block party amuses me a lot. In the good way". But the post has been edited to extend the party by a ( Read more... )
