Update to my previous post
Jul. 27th, 2011 03:15 pmI just tried to make a short LJ post pointing people over here, and it wouldn't go through. So I'm not even going to try to cross-post this message.
I caught a glimpse of my LJ friends' page, but before I could truly read any of the posts on it, it was wiped out by a "connection to the server was lost while the page was loading" message (or something like that).
*sigh*

I don't know if this will post to LJ. Who knows. This DDoS attack on LJ has to do with Russian politics, and it's a bit annoying to have to be inconvenienced by that country's political hassles when my OWN country is going to hell in a handbasket. (I'm talking about the debt-limit crisis here, of course ... you can find all the depressing news about it on your own ... too many articles and editorials to link here.)
I need to get back to work on my short freelance article, which is due today, and then the longer freelance article. I just wanted to make a quick post here to let everybody know that I'm still here, and to strongly suggest that everyone who has not already done so head on over to http://dw-codesharing.dreamwidth.org and pick up an invite code. (Or send me an e-mail, as I think I have a few of my own that I've not posted.)
I'm not suggesting that we all abandon LJ, but it's nice to have a non-Facebook place to post when LJ has problems for several days in a row. DW has only about 10 percent of LJ's user base, and it's not based in Russia, so I don't the Russian bad guys care about it as much. And it won't demand your real name like Google+. :-)
Please let me know if you're duplicating your LJ self on DW and I'll put you on my reading list, OK?

Balticon summary...
May. 30th, 2011 11:52 pm... is over at this location on LiveJournal. Sorry, but it just had too many "lj users" in it to bother with the DW/LJ coding changes. The LJ post should be open to all, so enjoy!
LJ notifications
Mar. 10th, 2011 09:36 pmI know a couple of you have mentioned the lack of LJ notifications. I just saw this entry about them:

FWIW, I have one of those AOL accounts that everyone loves to hate, and I still get my LJ (and DW) notifications.

Oh, poo-poo.
Jul. 14th, 2010 01:05 pmI have discovered that the SCA Inc. Board of Directors is having a "Meet the Board" session at exactly the same time as the second of my two Grunwald classes. Gaah, what are the chances that everyone will want to go vent their various frustrations on how the SCA is run instead of listening to my spiel about a magnificent battle 600 years ago?

Since I'm cross-posting this to both LJ and Dreamwidth, I would just like to say to DW people that I'm sorry for neglecting you for more than a week. I was following last week's Pennsic University storm, which was raging on LJ and a few other places. Go to the SCA community on LJ if you are curious.

Blogging in Kazakhstan?
Jun. 11th, 2010 11:31 amI was reading this Dan Kennedy essay about freedom of speech in Kazakhstan. (Dan Kennedy is a Northeastern University journalism professor and is very interested in new media.)
The young Kazakh journalist whom he recently interviewed said that LiveJournal has been blocked in Kazakhstan for over a year now. Is Dreamwidth similarly blocked? I'm just wondering ... maybe Dreamwidth would be small enough that it would fly under the radar screens of the governmental Internet censors?

OK, here I am.
