I haven't checked my personal (or work) email in 3 days. Tonight I found this message from DW:

I Swear I am Not a Sock Puppet

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 12:01:57 GMT

It's just that after being on the computer all day for work, and dealing with family and house, and reading & commenting on my amazing flist at LJ and my amazing reading list here, I never have any time or energy left for actual posting.

Seriously, I think I have a seriously cool reading list, full of smart, thoughtful, funny and pragmatic women. All y'all rock so hard, and make it so much easier for me to spend my "productive" hours among men.

Thank you!

More DW Wonkiness

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 20:54:22 GMT

I've gotten a couple of messages that people have unsubscribed to me lately, and today, when I was subscribing to someone, I noticed that 3 of my circle were no longer subscribed to, and I promise you I did not voluntarily unsub. So, you are probably seeing notices now that I have subscribed to you *again.* And I will have to go look at your journals to catch up on all the stuff I have undoubtedly missed.

Has Anybody Noticed?

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 14:54:44 GMT

I've subscribed to a lot of people on my LJ flist over here so I can read them here (because they are fandom friends) instead of reading them on my LJ flist. The set up stuff for DW says this is possible, and I was fairly certain it was working when I was just using open ID to read over here. But since I've paid for my account, I'm not getting any of those external-to-DW people showing up on my DW reading page. And after doing some research, I've found that yes, these people have been posting during this time period, and I have been missing out. The thing that initially tipped me off was a comment were_duck made about a conversation happening in the Beer and Marmalade community that I never saw. Until then, I was just thinking everyone else's lives had gotten as busy as mine.

If I had known this wasn't actually going to work as advertised, I wouldn't have spent a whole day rearranging my reading pages on each site to contain the specific content I thought I was going to get. Does this not actually work or am I just doing it wrong?

Monday, Monday

First of all, my "M" key is sticking all of a sudden. A few months ago, this happened with my "O" and I was unable to fix it well enough to be lasting. I ended up with a new keyboard on my laptop. This is annoying.

I spent the better part of the weekend working on the separation of LJ and DW. Locking fannish stuff at LJ, unlocking it at DW. Locking non-fannish stuff (only as far back as 12/07 so far). Straightening out the icons (OMG! So thankful for 200 at DW! Not going to pay for extras at LJ anymore). Setting up my friends lists and filters in both places. It's kind of exhausting. Plus, I'm concerned that I'm going to lose the feed on some stuff accidentally, and I can't believe how many new things I've added at DW.

Went to bed late last night, and am really groggy and sleepy - something that's been going on for at least a week, no matter how much sleep I'm getting. Seriously, I thought I might fall asleep during Star Trek on Friday (but yay me, I stayed awake).

I'm gonna try the cross-post thing again ::crosses fingers::

DW and LJ Friending/Defriending Announcement

Sat, 09 May 2009 14:14:39 GMT

I've got this shiny new account on DreamWidth, and I'm planning to use it exclusively for my fannish posting (and for my LJ archive, JIC). This is so I don't have to filter/lock my fannish posts anymore. So I'm going to be going through my LJ flist and thinning it out, because I want to read my fannish friends on my DW flist, and my RL friends on LJ. If you don't have a DW account, and you're fannish, I'll be subscribing to your feed at DW, and filtering you off my LJ default view. THIS is because, a lot of you with accounts in both places are cross-posting (Yay!), but I keep getting confused about where to make my replies. I'm only medium-tech after all.

If you're a RL and fannish friend, I guess I'll have to filter you off of my LJ default view, but not defriend, cause I still want you to be able to access my RL ramblings if you want.

Hmm, here's a bug: all the boxes for tagging etc, the post are on top of the text box. The text is now wending it's way through a maze. Hmmm. at least it was that way until I started filling in the boxes.
