Anyone having problems with missing LJ and/or FB notifications? Mine stopped suddenly about the time I did a major purge of my inbox a day or so ago, and I'm concerned that part of my e-mail trail decided that I no longer want them.

Welcome back LJ. And FB, and Twitter. OK, I can get by without FB and certainly Twitter, but I admit to some anxiety about the loss of LJ.

( Oh, get a life )

Current Mood: uplifted

A big thank you to my anonymous benefactor for your gift of a year's worth of LJ subscription. Gosh.

Current Mood: warm and fuzzy

My free web logging service has been eaten, so now I have a new one :-(

Yes, I could have started it at the number it was before (somewhere in the high 55K mark) but that seems wrong somehow.

Looks like it's time to wrap something in bacon.

Current Mood: sad

I've finally been russian spam-friended. I was starting to wonder what was wrong with me.

Inspired by the fear of losing chunks of my precious flist, I too have acquired for myself a Dreamwidth account, same username as here.

I don't have a clear plan per se but probably won't post or mirror on dw. I'll replicate my flist as required then make a reading filter for people who post different content to lj and dw so I don't get lost in the crosspost-fire.

OK, it looks like I have a plan :-)

...and F5 keys everywhere. And perl scripts. And my agent.

Current Mood: amused

Looks like my fondness for refreshing my friends page continues unabated:

I wonder if I can hit 50K "hits" by the start of Swancon?

( How does one achieve massive interweb popularity? )

Current Mood: fey

Might be a good time to redo all thosed failed pingback tests people.

Current Mood: startled

A warm welcome to

brillianteyz who joined the good ship flist this morning (2:20AM local time - see what you miss if you sleep?). She has an awesome user icon and interesting bio - check it out.

*waves*

B, feel free to comment anywhere to ask for a catchup on any terminology in this blog or ongoing stories. "Sector 7" refers to my house, for example, and "The Catmobile" is my car. Obviously :-)

Current Mood: warm and fuzzy

I think my toenails are very interesting.

( Are you sure you want to go there? )

Current Mood: it's late

Less than 48 hours after posting my tiger FAQ I was asked #2 again, although I must admit "Was there a magician involved?" is a new one.

Current Mood: amused

As I understand time travel, LJ is due to go down in about 5 hours time. Could be out for 4 hours, could be more. Could be fatal.

*hyperventilates*

So, this could be my last post ever, and I have neglected to find an acceptable method of offline backup for my journal, not that I've looked recently. So, this could be it. Oblivion. How did I spend my last couple of days of blogdom?

Current Mood: tired but pleased

I write this from the local H&R Block office, having bowed to the pressure of the close of October and finally made an appointment to do my tax. I'm normally much more organised than I am this year, so we'll see how it goes. I am, however, stupidly early, hence the pointless blathering while I await the torture.

So, stephbg, your LiveJournal reveals...

You are... 6% unique (blame, for example, your interest in wacky science stories) and 17% herdlike (partly because you, like everyone else, enjoy walking). When it comes to friends you are popular. In terms of the way you relate to people, you are keen to please. Your writing style (based on a recent public entry) is conventional.

Your overall weirdness is: 26

(The average level of weirdness is: 27.
You are weirder than 59% of other LJers.)

Find out what your weirdness level is!

Current Mood: baaaaa

If you've ever been subscribed to the long-broken fefifofum_feed, you may have noticed a little catchup going on this morning. I am guilty, having reestablished the feed to The Genial Hearth, but things should drop back to normal feed rates soon.

Not that I've ever made any particular effort to disguise who I am, but I've decided to link this blog to my other official online identities in LinkedIn and The Evil Thing (and whatever other strays google kicks up). This might require a fraction more f-locking in the future :-)

My LJ profile now contains my Real Name, and I'll be updating and cross linking sometime probably-not-soon. I do not classify this as a remotely big deal.

Current Mood: liberated

I sometimes wonder if I should change the name of my blog to something a little more dignified, witty or clever. And then I wonder if I'm being unacceptibly pretentious. At that point I realise that no-one but myself is paying attention. But then I look at the counter and think, well, *someone's* paying attention. Then I remind myself to come back to reality.

But in the end I have to ask: Does anyone give a damn what the thing is called? And do you care about yours?

ETA: I refer not to my username, but the blog name "Propping up a dodgy memory: it's for me to keep track of myself"

Current Mood: self-absorbed
