Thanks to [info]solo I'm now the proud owner of akk @ Dreamwidth, which I'm going to use as a full-fledged mirror to akk @ IJ. :)

They are currently in closed beta and you need an invite code to open an account of your own, but their implementation of open-id (you can just use your livejournal account for it and they even allow your open-id account up to 6 icons!) makes "foreign commenting" really easy. I also like the option of anonymous commenting with a captcha, in case of spam. That's better than just blocking ano-coms.

I used their nifty import feature to salvage all the comments left to my stories on Livejournal.
However, importing those from IJ didn't work (yet). But that's a known bug and I hope I can copy the IJ comments later on, once that one's sorted out.

I'm certainly curious about how this specific electric sheep turns out!

On cleaning )

On drool-tech (as in "to drool over" and "technology") )

I'm so looking forward to type in all the scribbles for chapter 17 that accumulated over the last few days. Granny Talk 2 got a makeover, and the intro to Daylight Sex is finally written. Though there's still a gap to be closed in that scene... :)

I felt rather down on New Years Eve. A lot of things I care not to repeat made 2009 a rather bleak prospect.
Today it snowed, covering all the dirt from the fireworks and I spotted first a kingfisher and later a grey heron along the flood pools.
It was the first time I saw a kingfisher in the wild and he traced my path for over fifteen minutes.
Grey herons aren't that uncommon around here, but to see one less than twenty meters away was special.

Well done, 2009. I'm impressed.
When least I expected it, you brought out the beauty!

New shiny white teeth all in, all done, no longer "smile and the world runs screaming!" for me!

Yes! *rawr*

[info]wildilocks created a Wikipedia page comparing the various Livejournal code sites out there.

It's interesting to me that after LJ itself, IJ has the highest updated-in-the-last-24-hours rate despite being only on rank 6 in the total user count [site watched 26.3.2008; data from 23.3.2008]. :)

IJ-user yourlibrarian throws a fascinating glance at the differences between IJ's and LJ's most common interests with respect to fanfic, fandom, and more. Give it a read! :)

I just realized that I already had to tell no less than five people about how my Christmas went.
Since I am about to do copy & paste for it, I might as well just blog and be done with it.
