1) Just in case LJ goes poof I created an account over at IJ with the oh so original name, donutsweeper.  I friended a few people whose IJ's I knew, but if I missed you please drop me a note so I can friend you.  I don't plan on using the journal unless LJ does disappear, but I really don't want to lose my friends.

2) Today, instead of sitting in a staff meeting today I was home playing solitare on my (at the time) internetless computer.  A much better way to spend my time I think.

I've had _medley_ over there for a good while, although I don't actually use it except for very occasional RP. Had to have underscrores again, drat. If IJ goes splat, I'll start using it. *nods*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Excellent. I'll add you.

I *hope* this is all unneccessary and LJ stays happy and working fine

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

I hope so, too. I think it'll probably be OK. *crosses things* IJ's not hard to use, though, if worst comes to worst.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

new reports seem to imply the firings weren't as bad and whatnot.

I did run an ljarchive again just to be safe (backup=good)

I just loathe the idea of finding new comms and people and whatnot at IJ. *crosses things too*

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

Added you both. I got me an IJ around this time LAST year. Rarely use it though as it's only there as backup.

So how do I archive my LJ stuff again? I have my fic on my website/hard drive but what about backing up my posts?

[phoenix64.livejournal.com]

I was ridiculously pleased that I was able to get just "64" there a while back as a username. I've had phoenix64 in one place or another for over ten years, and while consistency can be nice change can be pretty darned nice too. The reason I picked phoenix in the first place is that if I can't reinvent myself occasionally I get twitchy.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

This is another situation where I never intended to actually use the thing, but grabbed it for occasional one-shot RP. Much like I never really intended to use my LJ, I just needed something so I wasn't commenting on fic anonymously. Um, yeah. *g*

Reinventing is good. I'm a big believer in reinventing. I just...kinda feel like a Medley, though. I think it suits me.

Hey, I've been on IJ for more than awhile. I am sylumgator and have friended you. Now, get Semagic, and you can post to both journals at the same time. A lot of time at the library I can only access IJ, and not LJ.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Semagic? What is it and how does it work?

[snufflesdbear.livejournal.com]

crap. I was afraid you would ask that :-) here, best place in thier LJ site
http://community.livejournal.com/ljwin32_sema/
The trick is to get it to talk to both journal's at once. I need to look up my notes on that. I'll get back to you, okay? :-)

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

I heart Semagic. I wish I could use it on the computer I have now. Not only was it good for posting to more than one journal site at once, but I could be logged in to one LJ on my browser and another in Semagic and I could edit things that way.

1- I'm adafrog over there, as well.
2-awesome.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

keeping the same name is so much easier!

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

It really is.

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

I was just thinking yesterday that YAY you don't have to be at work today. :)

Have added you on IJ - it's good to have a backup plan in any case!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

So happy not to be there. So very happy. I loved a lot of the aspect of it, but overall the chaos and wank just wore me down.

I shall go add you, although it looks like LJ's here to stay so it'll all be unnecessary *crosses fingers and knows wood*

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

I'm not panicking (no need, hopefully!) but I always feel better with redundant systems in place. :)

Hooray for getting away from chaos and wank!

[secbeth.livejournal.com]

If i go to IJ I will use this handle, But what about all MY GROUPS!! *whines*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

exactly! *whines too* I think LJ's here to stay, thing seem fine and the firings that created all the panic were misreported, so I'm thinking we'll be okay

[sistercarrion.livejournal.com]

I'm sistercarrion over there, it's usually used for RP for now, but you never know..

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

if you have a back up you won't need it, but if you don't then you're asking for i it, right?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

That's not a half bad idea. I'm willing to bet the_dark_side is already taken over there, though.

Solitaire is ALWAYS a good use of time.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

you could try something similar- no dashes or something.

Solitare is all about working the brain and spacial cortex something or other ummm... yeah.

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Very true.

Duly added.
