Clockwork vibrators?

matgbOK, firstly, I am not sober. Not drunk, but not sober. Second, the link in my last post was to here at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
livejournal_uk, I used LJ Hook to insert the link and didn't check it as I was running out the door.
Third, Terry Pratchett is a god among men. Great public speaker, very funny, observant (as in, spotted and asked me the correct spelling for my name and was just generally cool), and, well, my credit card got used for a few more books. Not really an issue, it was birthday money, honest.
Fourth, I love LJ. As in, I love the community. Just over a year ago, I went to S-C with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nadriel. When there, I met two cool people. She who was to become faeriecween and the lady known as innerbrat. I've obviously got to know the former rather well, but I've actually met the latter three times in person total. Today was the third time. Yet we talked, got on, chatted, as if we knew each other and were old friends. Because of LJ. Because we've commented, helped each other out, advised, consoled, taken the piss, etc. I think this is a good thing. Tonight, also met rowanberries, who seems slightly more insane. Not as nuts as some on my f-list, but still.
No matter how much I dislike the management, the ads, etc, I really like the LJ community and the way that 90% of my real life friends are on here. So, until and unlesslj2wordpress works out, I'll be here for awhile. And, given I need some of the paid functions and hate the ad layouts with a vengeance, a paid account is sorta needed. And some of the staff below ownership level seem both human and helpful. Anyway, rambling. comment on last post good. Will respond when sober enough to think, in the meantime, I really like being in London.
Oh, the title? It's a reference to his next book. Which sounded very cool. And involved a joke with a clockwork vibrator. Seriously.
Oh yeah,innerbrat? liz_marcs here. Red Dwarf + Buffy. As discussed.

Date: 2006-Sep-29, Friday 08:11 (UTC)I don't have much reason to have a fully functional independant blog, so can always see myself to be with LJ - especially if I can ever get the username I want.

Date: 2006-Sep-29, Friday 10:57 (UTC)1) Six Apart go bust and LJ is no longer a going concern
2) Enough people leave to go with the new big thing in whatever and they don't pick up enough new users (no idea what it'll be, bu it'll happen) to keep going.
3) There's an earthquake, and the datacentre falls into the sea.
The last is actually the most likely, and utterly unpredictable as well. One datacentre, which they moved to San Francisco from a much safer area.
For friends page, I'm looking into aggregators, but nothing out there is as easy to use as what I'd like. You're right about content deing the same, 500+ posts, less than 50 are f-locked, not really an issue. Not got enough tech skills for doing the OpenID stuff, but there's progress from what I can see.
