cleolindaWell, my class was mysteriously cancelled for the day, and also, there are conflicting reports of what time the class actually is. Yay.
I would just like to take a moment here to add to the general panic and hysteria floating around Livejournal re: the Six Apart takeover. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! All right, I'm done. However, should the people who brought us the horrors of Movable Type ("Pay us some more! Now pay us again!") screw up LJ functionalities, well, I'll see you all over on Greatest Journal. I think an official announcement is coming tomorrow, so if Brad actually comes out and says something, someone please come get me, okay?
Oh, and yes, I know Lost is about to come on. I won't sleep through this one. ; )

Date: 2005-01-05 05:39 pm (UTC)So... wait. What's the big issue here? I read the article but somehow I'm even more confused. Leave it to me. What's Greatest Journal like, anyhow?
YAY LOST. I'm at class right now (meh) and I'll be home around 9:15 to watch my tape and (hopefully) read your recap. KATE AND SAWYER AND JACK OMG.

Date: 2005-01-05 05:42 pm (UTC)The problem with Movable Type is that they started making people pay for every upgrade. That, and it's just way more complex than I want to be forced to deal with. If they make it OPTIONAL, and I could try it out whenever I felt like it, I would be fine with it. But if we wake up one day and our journals are all messed up and they get rid of communities and all the stuff that people love about LJ, well, I'm outta here.

Date: 2005-01-05 05:53 pm (UTC)Hm. If Six Apart decides to take LJ for-profit, it'll be interesting to see what happens to the aforementioned open-source code. Of course, the current version's already propagating itself happily, thank Pete. But still.

Date: 2005-01-05 05:59 pm (UTC)JournalFen is 18 and older and is meant to be fandom related. Greatest Journal doesn't have those restrictions. Also, I think if 20,000 people fled to JF, Robin and Zorrojo (owners of JF) would cry. Unless they all got paid accounts, maybe. It might end up crashing JF semi-regularly (more), though, which would be bad.

Date: 2005-01-05 06:53 pm (UTC)Thanks very much - that's quite helpful. I certainly wouldn't want to make total strangers cry. I usually like to reserve that power for people I know :-).

Haha! Never again.
(spoilers... but... all of you should be watching Lost anyways...)
Actually, I'm wondering, I seem to be skipping an episode of Lost every week it comes on. What happened to the pregnant girl? Didn't see that episode. Last time I saw her she was eating invisible peanut butter. Eh...

Date: 2005-01-05 07:20 pm (UTC)I used MT for years on my personal website. If you don't use something like LJ, MT IS the best software for publishing. Then they suddenly went pay (which is fine, but $70? Each update? Oh, blow me). And now they're pissing in my LJ.
In conclusion: It vexes me. I'm terribly vexed.
Just for you...

Date: 2005-01-05 07:42 pm (UTC)Oh and Lost...man, THAT was one good hour of tv! I'll have to re-watch that after I see Troy tomorrow..
Then I'm watching Alias, and the briefcase shows up AGAIN! It was like a Capital One commercial...'What's in YOUR briefcase?!' (Alias' briefcase was not accompanied by Wet Sawyer, so it loses points :P)
And...yeah. My random bit of insanity I decided to share with you guys today.
