LJ cuts me off from humanity.
May. 11th, 2011 08:44 pmI wonder if this has anything to do with the additions to the navigation bar.
ETA: I fixed it. They changed the type signature of a base class method in their S2 "layer" API and this is how I found out. Grrr.
Nonetheless, I'm no longer blind to your LJs. Hurrah!
Frustration and nerves. I'm ready for at least one goddamn party.
I'm an LJ slacker. And a moocher.
Feb. 3rd, 2011 09:40 pmAnother four-day gap between posts? I may have to call my shrink about this. The sad fact is, though, that I haven't had that much that was post-worthy. Except this:
My son is going to L.A. tomorrow morning with a group of other eighth graders from his synagogue and another one in the area. They're going to the Museum o' Tolerance, Beit T'Shuvah, etc. What jumped out at me, though, was Tuesday night at the other synagogue, namely Temple de Hirsch Sinai in Bellevue. Before the nitty gritty meetings of parents and kids, they fed us in the social hall as synagogues do. There were lots of big round tables, as synagogue social halls tend to have. My son sat three seats away from me at an otherwise empty table for ten until I up and told him to move over.
My Aspie son? Worried what other kids he knows would think of him because of me? So it would seem. Le sigh.
Here's where I mooch from all my Burner friends.

- Does anybody need a ride down? More to the point, would any of you like a ride down in my luxurious 2006 Prius (built before Toyota lost its mind!) while splitting the cost of gas? I'm planning on camping at Summer Lake, OR on the way down & back.
- Does anybody have space on a bike rack or equivalent going down? I have a bike and a car, but no rack.
- Got a few feet of EL wire to spare? I have a battery pack, but my wire is trashed.

Moby Disk; meta reminder
Oct. 7th, 2010 10:04 amWe interrupt this transsexual squeeing to tell you about the a deployment from hell. This one's got it all: disks running out of space, disk failures, unplanned multi-day data migrations, hacking scripts in a build, platform surprises due to unique hardware, broken prerequisites, people taking dependencies on us who didn't bother to tell us, and an original four-day schedule stretched to fourteen. Those of us who can have started working in shifts; I took last night, and my good twin takes tonight. We're getting it done, but it's pretty traumatic.
Please remember, folks, my trans tag goes public on Tuesday. If there are any comments you want screened, please email me. This username at gmail.

LJ as barometer
Jul. 24th, 2010 08:57 amA long time ago I mentioned that I tend to post more when I'm happy. I've been posting a lot more over the last few months, maybe even this whole year.
amateur neurology meets social networking?
Jun. 2nd, 2009 09:24 pmI've noticed that of the social networks whose user interfaces encourage interaction in closer-to-real time than our beloved LJ, there's a much higher proportion of MOOers* on my Twitter friends list than there is on my Facebook friends list. I'll confess that I too, as a fairly avid MOOer**, find Twitter irresistible. Length limit as constricting as a corset? Do-it-yourself threading? That only adds to the fun for us.
And now I must ask: did MOO make us that way, or were we born MOOers?
*MOO stands for MUD, object oriented. MUD stands for multi-user dungeon.
**My MOOcode random haiku generator is available on request.
Special to all you bicyclists out there: can not getting my shifter fixed right away do bad things to my drive train? I worry.
Nun plans: Usual Haunts 6/6, Church of Bass for Ott 6/13
Watch this space for thrifting this weekend! I need to decide where & when.

My face parties with a fig, not a fax.
May. 30th, 2009 06:10 pmI felt the need for a user pic to use when one of you freaks posts something too weird even for me, which is pretty often. Photo credit: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I resolved my weekly dilemma: I'll be going to the Space Virgins' Casino Royale party. It was a pity to miss Eddie at Re-bar last night, but apparently I needed the sleep.
Yet another indication of the severity of last winter: the Abbey's Turkish fig tree was covered in dead, molding figs. I removed them in the hopes that I'll get ripe ones this year. The wind chimes are up, the barbie is out, and some laundry is on the deck. Ah, spring.
Why do bankers still have to use fax machines? There's a technology that's begging to be replaced.

Must... stop...
May. 13th, 2006 11:05 pm...screwing with my LJ style. When all else fails to get you what you want, edit code. Is it my imagination or does your page load faster if you use an S2 style?
Oh, by the way, a helpful hint: using the GUI for common S2 customizations will throw out any code you've written. It would have been nice if somebody had told me that would happen.
