Recognition
So, a lot of things have been happening, but due to my weird schedule and general meh, I haven't much talked about them. Every once in a while, something will come up, and I'll think "I should tell the Interwebz!" By the time midnight rolls around and I'm online, though, that impulse tends to evaporate. So, here's a random update I've been meaning ( Read more... ) -
Public service
As I see it, with a sample space of my readers, the odds are abnormally high that you find yourself in the intersection of the sets of "Web Comic Readers" and "Medieval Literature Geeks".

Broken...
I don't often recommend books. I'll mention if I'm quite enjoying a series, or blown away by an author. Generally, I'm rereading things these days anyway, and I don't have much time to do so, so the old books are filling in just fine, even with much of my library still in my mother's house.

But this will-they-won't-they relationship dynamic that creeps into so many shows? It doesn't really need to be part of every bloody program on primetime. Seriously. I know you ( Read more... ) -
Well, now, that tears it
It seems that the icon collection remaining to me on LJ now that my paid time has expired does not include the all-important "I'm listening... with beer" Spike icon. This injustice shall not stand - clearly, it's the final, true sign to move to DW.
For the record, I still have 5 invitation codes, free to a good home...

LJ Facebook/Twitter work around to get rid of the annoying boxes
Warning: The below is untested, but given the number of my friends who are as annoyed by this option as am I, I thought sharing a potential workaround to eliminate the annoying cross-post boxes suddenly showing up on your LJ might be handy ( Read more... ) -
And joining the chorus
So, yeah, there's a reason I don't have a Facebook account. Several, actually, but mainly irreconcilable differences of opinion on concepts like "privacy" and "boundaries". So, it probably goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway: Please don't crosspost anything related to this blog to any other services, despite how easy LJ is trying to make it ( Read more... )
