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.

backups/redundant systems are good.

Now I just need to remember my password for IJ and figure out how to do stuff there, just in case

I used the same password, heh. I was surprised to learn that the IJ-specific markup tags are exactly the same as the LJ ones. I mean exactly. I thought I would need to substitute "i" for the "l" in the tags or something, but for instance, you code a username like

< lj user = "rustydog" >

So hopefully it won't be too hard to learn!

I use similar passwords, and I did email it to myself so hopefully I'll be able to find it again if and when I need it.

I don't plan on doing anything over at IJ as long as LJ's working, although the idea of backing up my stories is appealing

Oh, me either. Actually the only reason I learned that tidbit about the tags is because I wanted to put my rustydog username in my littledoglaughd profile.

Backing up stories reminds me, I've been meaning to archive more stuff on Teaspoon. Actually it wouldn't be bad to have them in three different places. :)

I've a few things at ff.net. Longer stuff- no drabbles or ficlets. I like it because there's so many fandoms. I never looked into teaspoon, do you like it?

I do like Teaspoon. I don't do much browsing because, well, I have more than enough to read just on my own flist, but it wasn't hard to figure out how to post. And to my surprise, the last time I put up a few stories, really just for archiving purposes, within a couple of days I had seven or eight comments from strangers, and they were really, nice thoughtful comments. I don't know how they found me, but it was nice!

teaspoon is DW and TW stuff?

I'll have to look it up when my internet starts behaving

Right, and probably SJA too - Whoniverse, I guess. "A Teaspoon and an Open Mind" is the title, but why that is the name escapes me. Though it's probably something obvious. :)

I hope your internets aren't cranky for too long! That's frustrating.

It's been futzy for a week or so and totally went down for about 2 hours this afternoon, now it's very very slow and somewhat working.

Whoiverse makes sense- all spin offs and all
