How great am I? You don't know? Things to cheer you up on the train home, a notification in your inbox from coffeechica entitled DRUM ROLL:

This suggestion has been planned for implementation. Please watch the lj_releases community for updates.

I knew what post it was before I opened it, but it was nice to be sure. So that's two fixes from one suggestion.

I'm still of the opinion that the concerns about trolls editing comments are missplaced, but those that run LJ abuse disagreed--we've come up with a way to get around the problem. I reserve the right to bitch about them messing up MY idea with poor implementation, but, y'know. I rock!

ETA: Changelog entry detailing how it works:

Oh, had a great night out, met nhw in the Melton Mowbray and talked SF geekery and politics with a bunch of people, was rather nice. Time to sleep now methinks.

I reckon my worthy friends list could take that test and bump the avarages up a bit, right? Good good.

Went to oldharrysgame recording last night after work, was good, weirdly, episodes 4 & 6 were recorded, not 3&4, cast availability or something (Gina's full report here. Day off today, have a job interview for a permanent job later, looks good on paper. Might write full report for last night on the community this afternoon/evening. Or I might just do something else, not sure.

This is my 501st post, apparently. That's to LJ, not on all the other places I've started writing since I signed up for this thing. nadriel? In the unlikely event that liberty_central actually works, or gets somewhere at all? It's your fault y'git, you got me writing again.

Unfortunately, I can't break my writers block. I need the inaugaral "real" article for voting_taktix, but it won't flow. "Tactical voting is a myth", on a site dedicated to tactical voting? Yay for contradictions.

Also, nicked from someone else's LJ (look, I click on the profiles of cute girls who put themselves in userpics, ok? Anyone here not do that?):

9/9 Genius You are 78% knowledgable and 96% intellectual.

Amazing! You have an incredible brain (intellect) and a powerhouse of information (knowledge)! Keep up the impressive work-- we all bow to you.

Tomorrow? Exeter, if I get up, to play silly game's at Steve's with Peter Pig. If I wake up. Oh, I also need to clean and tidy the flat, as it'll be the last chance between now and when I get back from nadriel's. Two weeks holiday in one month? Yay! Must remember to buy tickets for those events.

Also, on the quiz thing? A few of the questions are US specific. Sorry, but knowing which Amendment does not isn't a History question, it's a Constitutional Theory and practice Q. I mean, I got that answer right anyway, but, y'know, I would've got a better score if the questions weren't aimed at one populace. Cos I is ded smart, see?

Ms itchyfidget is more emotionnally intuitive but less scientifically intuitive than me*. She also has a better tag for this sort of thing, egocentrism beats showing off any day. doctorvee however is the other way around. Not sure about this one, but it's better than most of the recent ones I've done.

*Consideting what she does for a living, is anyone else scared that this humanities BA gets a better Science result? Oh, wait, it's a silly meme

The scary thing about these memes, I got the same results as Blimpish. Oops...

If you do 'em, take the most questions possible, it takes bugger all time 'cos it's a good interface.

Oh yeah, yes, that is the correct UK time, and yes, insomnia gets worse if oyu don't need to get up the next day.
