Catching up
Busy times
It feels like all I've done lately is hurry off to work praccy or worked, or tried to catch up on sleep when not trying to motivate self to do at least some writing assignments. Ugh. But at least it'll be over soon, one way or the other.
Work praccy, or rather interning, as I suppose the proper English term is (?), has been very interesting though! But oh so draining. More details to follow once it's all done.
'tis the season to be..
As always, I see peeps have been creative with icons and all! Neato :)
Maybe I'll get around to finish those Pippi Longstocking icons and wallies I started on, oh some years ago now.. *whistles*
And yes, it is definately time to post more challenges in acontestoficons and romance_stills asap :/
LJ Stuffs
And sheesh, I don't keep up with LJ for some months and suddenly I spot post like this, posted 2012-10-30.
That is not what will be happening -- no accounts will be canceled or revoked, no already-purchased paid time or paid features will be lost or anything like that. What is happening, is that we will be making some changes to the existing account structure next year. That is what these comments were referring to. This will involve changing things so users have a standard LiveJournal account to which they then can add the paid/extra features that they want separately (or feature packages/sets). The concept of buying something that's called a "paid account" is what will be removed -- extra features will be done as add-ons and add-on packages. Existing paid or permanent accounts at that time will be treated as premium/elite accounts that will have access to even more features than exist right now.
And then I see someone comment about a "forced beta-friends feed".. Hmmmm.
From other comments I see worries/concerns such as..
There'll be ads regardless?
No more being able to use own journal style for reading others entries?
Limited icon usage?
So what the heck is up exactly? *scratches head*
I do notice the "post new journal entry" page is looking a bit different...
