Random Post of Randomness

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.

Oh, yeah, check out maybe my links. Stewardess gets lots of good info, http://asylums.insanejournal.com/07refugees/ is a place to join for more info.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/announcements/ for official announcements from Squeaky himself.
ahhhh.... here goes.... http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/snapetoy/16797.html

NOTE: at #2 IIRC, it's username+IJ (LJ, etc)

"Most of us are using the same username across the LJ clones (GJ, IJ, JF and others). Because we're using the same username, we think that we only have one login when Semagic starts - it opens at the login screen with our username, and then we're manually changing the server to post to in from the File menu under Server settings.

Friends, this is not so! We can set up multiple logins with the same username!

1/ Log out of Semagic
2/ At the login screen, in the username field type username lj. Now put in your LJ password into the password field. Don't hit enter or click Login yet!
3/ Tick both the boxes for Remember Password and Auto-Login.
4/ Click the File menu and then Server settings.
5/ Make sure www.livejournal.com is selected as the server. Click OK.
6/ Click Login.

Now repeat steps 1 - 6 with your other journals, replacing username lj with username clone-abbreviation and the Server settings with the clone address.

You'll find that at your Login screen, you'll now have multiple login options. :)

For example, mine are:
- snapetoy lj - www.livejournal.com
- snapetoy gj - www.greatestjournal.com
- snapetoy jf - www.journalfen.net
- snapetoy ij - www.insanejournal.com

I've deliberately chosen to include LJ in that list, as I may end up defaulting to another journal service, so I didn't want to prefer LJ.

The latest build of Semagic allows you to Post to Multiple Journals from the Journal menu. Ticky box the ones you want to post to!"

I wouldn't normally post all that, but with GreatestJournal, you never know how long they will be around for, you know? I got the link off the User Info area of the 07refugees.

If you have problems, give me a yowl.

thanks for digging up all that info!

I didn't dig, I stumbled. Literally. People think I am Ianto, I am more...um... Owen? Things just sort of fall into place sometimes.

sometimes it's all about being in the right place at the right time. *nods*
