matgb | Comment notification on a hot summers day (Reply)

Wondering Exeter this morning with

markslut (great to see you again Mark), my 'net addiction kicked in and I turned on Opera Mini to check my email (C was heading towards another clothes shop to get a top more suited to the weather). Top of my inbox? A comment notification from

anildash. Who he? Well, he's a bit of an arse, and was apologising for, on occasions, being one. But, well, he's also a Vice-President of Six Apart.

matgb: From what I can tell, he's an arse. I may be wrong.

anildash: I am, sometimes. Other times I'm not so bad... but I figure I've got a better chance at not being an arse if I'm at least out there trying to talk to people. Most of the folks who've IMed/phoned seem to think I'm being reasonable, so I should probably just do a better job of not posting comments when I'm frustrated by people.

Spun me out a little is all. I've still seen more negative comments from him than constructive, but, well, maybe there's still hope? On the subject of hope...

Important: Dodgy malware in advert on LJ

A very suspect company managed to trick LJ and run an advert that used Flash to create a pop-up and install some dodgy software (Errorsafe/Winfixer). More info here. If you're a free or Sponsored+ user, especially if you're not running Flashblock, run the necessary checks as per normal.
