Serendipity

Dear LJ

Please can you explain to me why you think anyone would want to repost comments or posts belonging to other people to Twitter or Fabebook? Especially Twitter, it's only 140 characters.

No love

My inbox count has been stuck at 1923 for about a fortnight now. Rubbish. I will have to open a support request I think.

antumbral makes a really good post over on Dreamwidth about the new affliate mining code LJ have implemented with instructions on how to opt-out.

Does anyone know of a script or something we can put into our custom layout layers to block LJ from redirecting links for people who haven't opted out (i.e. people who read your journal but don't have an LJ account) because there's some awful privacy issues around every link that is HOVERED over being sent on to a third party.

Stuff for my flist:

If you have a Paid or Permanent account, you can send up to 10 LiveJournal Basic/Plus users a $10 coupon for an annual paid subscription now through January 15th, 2010. Recipients can upgrade for $9.95 (instead of $19.95) for one year by enrolling in our automatic payment plan or make a manual payment of $15 (instead of $25). Please note that these coupons are not transferable and cannot be used to renew existing paid accounts.

So if you want a coupon, leave me a comment.

JJ Abrams is working on another new TV show, which i like the sound of

2009 in photos

Watching the Take That concert on ITV at the moment
[x] It really was a no expense spared gg wasn't it?
[x] Not enough old TT songs.
[x] I'm very sad at the lack of jelly and icecream during Do What You Like. Oh old skool TT you'll always have a special place in my heart.
[x] Yay old TT songs! Even if it is in a medley
[x] Mark's silver trousers are very eye-drawing. OMG!

The Doctor Who Buzzcocks did make me laugh rather a lot, but it also made me cringe in embarrasment too.
[x] Bernard Cribbins is a god of a man, he made me laugh so much. And he's a sharp as a pin too with perfect comedy timing. Him and Brian Blessed should join forces and fight crime with their AWESOME
[x] David's Tennant's love of Coldplay has torn me. (I can't stand them.)
[x] Noel Fielding's donkey ear hat would go really nicely with the cape he was wearing last week.
[x] I want whatever Catherine Tate was on.
[x] Jamie Cullen. Why?
[x] I am embarrassed that I couldn't guess the Muse track on the intros round. I am a bad bad Muse fan. The Matt Bellamy 'facts' afterwards gave me a chuckle though.

I want one of these bow-ties for Bilbo
