does anyone have any experience with the motorola dext? i've recently upgraded to one and i've got massive concerns over its connectivity and that it seems to be constantly connected to 3g. the 3g logo sits next to the signal bars, but underneath it are two arrows, one up one down, like the usual 'i'm connected to wap' arrows. however, these are grey and every so often they go black, this seems to coincide with whenever the phone is receiving some kind of data, which really does seem to be about every twenty seconds. i can't seem to find a setting which gets the phone to at least ask for permission to connect, or stop it completely, the only thing i can find that does it, is being connected to my wifi, which, of course will only work when i'm at home, or by going into 'plane mode' which of courses, shuts off any kind of signal then its pointless having it as a phone. Anyone got any ideas or experience? Orange tech support just told me to remove the battery and restart the phone that way, which i did and it did nothing, and motorola don't have a phone number to call, only an email form, which of course i've filled out but how long it takes to get a response is anyones guess.

I've just spent an hour or so sorting books in my room. My To Be Read pile is vast and frightening and guilt-inducing - though I'm not sure whether I feel guiltier about the (many) books which I got halfway through and then abandoned for something more exciting (these books are all non-fiction, of course - fiction I tend to read end to end quite fast), or the (even greater number of) books that I haven't even started and have been gathering dust, in some cases for years... Or I could leapfrog the whole issue and feel guilty about the number of parentheses in that last sentence... Anyway, my unread books are now divided into the following categories (ordered from greatest to smallest numbers): - fiction - books in French (including fiction, history, poetry, and even the Gospel according to Luke) - history and biography - theology, philosophy and spirituality, including far too many translations of the bible or parts thereof (not counting the Gospel of Luke in French, above) - cookbooks (nobody is surprised - this contains the largest proportion of half-read books, I might add - on the other hand, the number is not representative of my buying habits, because I have a much greater tendency to read cookbooks and start cooking from them as soon as I get my hands on them) - miscellanies - collections of historical, medical, or other anecdotes, historical documents, jokes, etc - books in German - popular science (Left handedness, the history of languages) - poetry (Milton, one book) I will not tell you how many books there are in total. This is because I am too ashamed to count them and find out. If I were shameless enough to count them, doubtless I would be shameless enough to post the evidence of my folly on the internet. Anyway, I really *must* stop buying books and then not reading them. Especially history books, which I can never resist and never, apparently, get around to reading. I think it's time to reinstate my rule of not buying any new books until I have read at least four in my To Be Read pile. And perhaps also time for a return to my rule of matching any bookshop spending with an extra payment to my mortgage. Because this is just silly. I shall now go forth and virtuously read cookbooks.

We spent the day twittering with Chorley ( bloody) council yesterday - we and many others - demanding to know when they were going to grit our village to which the answer was -we're not. Withnell and Brinscall lie high in the hills, you've got to go uphill (or down, as the case may be) in any direction to get in and out and, since Thurlstone is likewise ice and snow bound (despite the ploughs and gritters who arrived in force yesterday), I guess we're going nowhere. It makes no sense to leave a warm and cosy house and risk life and limb on motorways and Pennine roads to get to an ice box of a cottage that it'll take us 3 days to warm up (and no idea how much wood and coal is left and I doubt very much if deliveries will make it up our hill anymore than we will). So, like the man on tthe Guinness ad, we wait. I'm only mildly worried about our house, we're well lagged so not anticipating burst pipes, I have parcels arriving - they can be collected but Oh Dear God I want to be home in my own space!!! Mark's just set off to walk to Penistone. He spent 2 hours yesterday trying to dig us out - with the rest of the street, there's quite the wartime spirit in the village. :o) - with little success; despite the snow ploughs and rampant gritting yesterday, it's the ice that's the problem, rather than the snow. I'm not sure what he'll find up there, the shops have been emptying steadily with panic-buying and scant deliveries (we got on Look North because of it! ::does excited little shimmy:: - well, no, not really. Look North does not excitement make.) - on Wednesday they were rationing us to a loaf a head. Thank goodness for my sister's bulk buying tendencies and leftover Christmas alcohol. I myself am going nowhere. I seem to have developed an inner-ear problem with mild dizzyness; went arse-over-tit twice yesterday so no snowy trekking for me. Oh dear. What a shame. Never mind.

I have been re-reading Moomin books lately. mostly because I have forgotten almost everything that happened, and so they are all fresh and new! (Whether this is a side-effect of losing a big slab of my memory to a taxi, or being Middle Aged, I'm not wholly sure.) Surprisingly, a lot of people in RL have said to me, 'Moomins? Never heard of them. Any good?' To which I reply: 'Heathen! And Brilliant!' It's almost impossible to explain the strange charm of the Moomins, but these lines from Moonimsummer Madness sum it up for me. Snufkin has been out travelling the world and come across Little My (who is thumb-sized and who was swept away from her sister by a wave), who has decided to travel in his pocket. A little while later, they find themselves taking care of 24 woodland children ... "It's raining," said a small woody.
"I'm hungry," said another.
Snufkin looked helplessly at Little My.
"Scare them with the Groke!" she suggested. "That's what my sister used to do."
"Does it make you a good girl?" asked Snufkin.
"Of course not!" said Little My and laughed so she toppled over.
What child (or short adult) could fail to be utterly charmed by that?
The books come with fabulous little ink illustrations, and the stories are always positive, no matter how many strange or dreadful things, such as Grokes and Park Rangers, might appear. There are new editions out at the moment, which are cheap and easily found. If they weren't a staple of your childhood, I do recommend making them a part of your adulthood ;-)

I must say, the Digger's Club gardens at St Erth are gorgeous. Very lush, with lots of garden 'rooms' that give you the feeling of having the place to yourself (admittedly, we nearly did - there were only a handful of other people around. The veggie patch was particularly interesting to me, not least because I can now identify a remarkable number of vegetable plants by their leaves and flowers. And the ornamental pomegranate tree was amazing. I'm only sad that you can have enormous, beautiful scarlet blossoms OR enormous gorgeous fruit, and not both. Maybe we'll get an ornamental and a fruiting one when we start our little orchard? I gather the gardens at Dromana are even more gorgeous, so I'm looking forward to visiting them sometime. And the shop was *evil*. Seeds, plants, cookbooks, books on gardening, tools, and all sorts of useful things for self-sufficient living. We invested in a bokashi bucket system - which I've been meaning to do for some time, but these were unusually cheap and right there - and I fell in love with a book called 'Preserving the Italian Way' which shows you how to make *everything*: dried fruit and vegetables, pickles and antipasto vegetables, jams, preserved fruit and vegetables, cheese, ricotta, salami, sausages... I want to make my own ricotta right now, in fact, not least because the recipes are generally phrased in the language used by the person explaining it to the author, and this particular recipe talks of squeezing the moisture out of the ricotta gently 'as if you were handling a young woman's breasts'. This amused me. No, I didn't buy it, but I will, oh yes I will. I can't tell you how incredibly appealing I found it. And I want the Fowlers Vacola preserving kit, too - I have every confidence in my ability to make preserves, but I'm terrified of the whole sterilisation part, or rather of getting it wrong. But that's a purchase for a year or two down the track, once I've demonstrated that a) I can produce crops from my garden and b) that my attention span on this will last for more than 6 months. I did get asparagus seeds (speaking of long-term projects!), yin yang beans (how can you resist a bean that really does look like a yin-yang symbol?), heirloom capsicums, and clever clover - a plant designed by the CSIRO which is sown in autumn, grows through winter, putting nitrogen back into the soil and keeping the weeds out, and dies off at the beginning of spring, providing you with mulch for your spring planting. Sounds useful to me... It was really nice to catch up with my sister-in-law, too, who gave us the guided tour, as the garden is fairly local for her. We also went and visited her and my brother-in-law's house, to admire the renovations and the garden... she has converted me to blueberries, which I've never liked before but which really do taste very different straight off the vine. I may have to grow some blueberries. And now I'm home, and it's hot, in case you hadn't noticed. In fact, it's going to be hot all weekend, and getting up to 41°C on Monday, which is really uncalled-for. My next purchase will be a shade umbrella for our garden, which I'm hoping to pick up tomorrow - with luck, my veggies won't all be burned to death in the interim. Still, at least I've got the kitchen down to spotless before it gets too hot for serious cooking and washing up. I'm planning to make some baked ricotta, shortly, and a marinated carrot salad, and I have leftover marinated eggplant and zuccini salad from the other night, as well as some good bread and nice dips from the local Greek deli. I intend to continue with variations on this theme through the weekend, until Melbourne thinks better of this hideous weather idea. I wish it wasn't too hot for serious gardening, though. I'm really in the mood, now! Current Mood:  excited

No fic to post, as of yet. I don't even have a word processing program installed on this bitznatch, yet. All my stories are still zipped and downloading from Mozy. Working on prompt-Sulu/McCoy out of my gmail account, and it promises to be angsty to the Nth (contain your shock). But in the meantime-- --stolen from ![[profile]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png) strickens_girl, who also stole it, that shameless hussy: Give me a character and I will tell you my:

+ runner-up pairing.
+ honourable mention(s).
+ crack pairing(s).

I'll do:BtVS/Ats Firefly/Serenity Any incarnation of Star Trek Highlander The Sentinel Due South The Dark Tower-verses (Stephen King) Hamlet, A Midsummer Nights Dream Pineapple Express Watchmen Doom Underworld Bonus points like a mofo for Xena and/or Hercules. Hell, pick from any fandom, and I'll probably be able to geek out over it, and if I can't, or don't know what the hell you're talking about, I'll let you know. Yikes, I just set the mood for this post, and picked "cheerful". That doesn't ever happen. Huh. I never feel so mentally ill as when I'm happy. Oh, and don't pick anime.

- wistfuljane: A Rant In Non-Linear Form - I think for many people who scoffs at fans for being angry at translators and publishers for not keeping cultural conventions such as names and honorifics, they do not understand the personal issue rooted here.//It's an issue of cultural appropriation, yes.//But for me, it's more a matter of losing an identity and being redefined. -
- neo_prodigy: [in noscans_daily] Your Recommendations: LGBT Edition - What excellent comic book series/graphic novel featuring LGBTs would you recommend? Which series and/or storytellers are doing it right? -
- twistedchick: a question re warnings in AO3 - If a character death is onscreen, the question is obvious. If it's not? If the rape scene is merely alluded to and discussed, not shown in graphic and upsetting detail, does it deserve a warning? -
- happydork: Comment to hit count ratio on stories - I've been thinking recently about hit counts on a story vs the number of the comments the story gets. -
- rheasilvia: Story titles and I: A dysfunctional love story. - I myself am chronically title-impaired. It's exceedingly rare for me to know what a story will be called — almost always, when I finish a story, I am completely clueless as to what it should be called. I currently have two big writing projects, over half a dozen small ones, and no titles whatsoever. How about you? What are your favorite titles — not just of your own stories, but in general? How and where do you find titles? Do they come easily to you, or do you seek them out actively in some way? -
- phoebe_zeitgeist: Some reasons why I didn't link a post to metafandom, by me, Phoebe - As a compiler, and more specifically as a compiler who from time to time uses her discretion to not link something that's been submitted, I thought it might be useful to try to explain a little of what I'm looking for when I evaluate something for metafandom. What follows, I want to emphasize, is in no way an official statement -- I'm not speaking here for [community profile] metafandom as a whole, nor for any of the other individual compilers. It's just my own approach, although of course that approach is informed by the comm's rules and goals. -
- clarelondon: MAKING SHIT UP - I think all the self-justification should stop. In fact, I think it never should have started. Screw it. If people don't like the shit we make up, they can read shit other people make up or else read nonfiction. The only way to deal with the nay-sayers is to ignore them. God knows reviewers keep us busy reaching for the ego salve. Why acknowledge gender bashers? -
- sparkindarkness: It's only fiction! - I repeat again that, no, I don't think straight people should stop writing with GBLT fiction. They should write it - just as I think white people should write about POC. I will never ever say that people should only write about people like them. But there is a huge world of difference between writing the other well (or trying to) and using, appropriating and stereotyping the other. -
- kill_claudio: 1952 called. They want their clichés back. - there's still a bit of a battle in my mind between the authorial instincts that worry about making the characters consistent with their backgrounds and personalities, and the feminist instincts that don't want to let these attitudes go unchallenged. -
- rockeandroll: RPF and keeping boundaries - So there has been some discussion about this compartmentalising thing, and how you keep your distance, and from the writing point of view, what counts as 'canon', and when 'researching canon for your fic' just becomes being nosy and overinquisitive about someone's private life. -
- puella_nerdii: porn/meta is my OTP, or: why there are so many queer people in my head - On the other hand, a lot of these fics place sexuality at the center of the story in a way that makes me a little uncomfortable, because even if the story ultimately decides that it's okay to be gay (or if the characters conclude that they love each other and that gender doesn't matter -- or invoke some version of the "we're not gay, we just love each other" clause), it others queerness within the context of the story in a way that often feels a little like a slap in the face to me. -
- furiosity: the freeway's heading south - I think it's important to remind ourselves every once in a while that our experience of fandom does not in fact equal that of every other fan out there, and just because we feel our corner of fandom is the bestest doesn't mean it's cool to disregard fen from other corners, especially not if we belittle them for not being fannish in the same way as we are. -

Happy birthday to cordelia_v, misspamela, noeon, and shrift! I hope all four of you have had fantastic birthdays this week. Okay, so the crux of this post started off with noeon sending me a photograph of Matt Smith this morning. The next thing I knew, I'd downloaded over 60 pictures from Google Image Search and had decided to do a Matt Smith picspam. I love Matt Smith. I've loved him since I saw him in Party Animals, and when it was announced over a year ago that he was going to come on to Doctor Who as the Eleventh Doctor, I nearly died of utter and complete GLEE. He is adorable, and an phenomenal actor and I have absolutely no doubt he's going to be a unbelieveably awesome Doctor. I know a lot of people don't really know much about him, so let me introduce to him to you. I'm hoping you end up adoring him as much as I do.  See? How can you resist this face? \0/ Oh, and I should say that to the very, very best of my knowledge, there are no spoilery photos for Doctor Who in this picspam. I deliberately stayed far, far, far away from those particular photographs. There is one publicity photo from a year ago when the announcement for the Eleventh Doctor was made and one more recent photo of Matt with his new companion and a fan, but from what I can tell they're wearing their own clothes, not Doctor Who costumes. (I recognize the scarf Matt's wearing in the photo as his own. *g*) So if you're avoiding Who spoilers, you should be safe here. ( Massive Matty picspam/videospam, ahoy, dial-up users be forewarned )------------------ This entry was originally posted at http://femmequixotic.dreamwidth.org/439636.html.

Cellphone radiation helps demented mice: studyThis headline has me wondering. Does it make a difference if a mouse is demented? If so, who would care? Oh, I know it's all to help humans, but really, the headline sucks. How about Clues to healing dementia found, or perhaps, Cellphone Radiation might be beneficial. There was another very badly written headline, the other week - "Iran Executes Escaped Prisoners", It was only when I read the story, that I found out the escapees- poor sods, had been re-captured.

http://www.pepysdiary.com/archive/1667/01/07/ Lay long in bed. Then up and to the office, where busy all the morning. At noon (my wife being gone to Westminster) I with my Lord Bruncker by coach as far as the Temple, in the way he telling me that my Lady Denham is at last dead. Some suspect her poisoned, but it will be best known when her body is opened, which will be to-day, she dying yesterday morning. The Duke of York is troubled for her; but hath declared he will never have another public mistress again; which I shall be glad of, and would the King would do the like. He tells me how the Parliament is grown so jealous of the King's being unfayre to them in the business of the Bill for examining Accounts, Irish Bill, and the business of the Papists, that they will not pass the business for money till they see themselves secure that those Bills will pass; which they do observe the Court to keep off till all the Bills come together, that the King may accept what he pleases, and what he pleases to reject, which will undo all our business and the kingdom too. He tells me how Mr. Henry Howard, of Norfolke, hath given our Royal Society all his grandfather's library: which noble gift they value at 1000l.; and gives them accommodation to meet in at his house, Arundell House, they being now disturbed at Gresham College. Thence 'lighting at the Temple to the ordinary hard by and eat a bit of meat, and then by coach to fetch my wife from her brother's, and thence to the Duke's house, and saw "Macbeth," which, though I saw it lately, yet appears a most excellent play in all respects, but especially in divertisement, though it be a deep tragedy; which is a strange perfection in a tragedy, it being most proper here, and suitable. So home, it being the last play now I am to see till a fortnight hence, I being from the last night entered into my vowes for the year coming on. Here I met with the good newes of Hogg's bringing in two prizes more to Plymouth, which if they prove but any part of them, I hope, at least, we shall be no losers by them. So home from the office, to write over fair my vowes for this year, and then to supper, and to bed. In great peace of mind having now done it, and brought myself into order again and a resolution of keeping it, and having entered my journall to this night, so to bed, my eyes failing me with writing.

It's been a momentous 12 months here at LiveJournal. We crossed a capital T at Ten years young. And, like most precocious pubescents, we celebrated turning double digits by publishing our first book! Needless to say, we've experienced some major changes, both inside and out. Before we recap, we'd like to thank you for bearing with us as we've struggled through ungainly growth spurts, identity pangs, and, yes, the occasional blemish. We hope you'll continue to stand by us: We're gaining wisdom with maturity.
Stuff you liked
- Back in February, we placed a call for entries for our ten-year anniversary anthology in lj_turns10. In December (less than a year later!), we officially announced the publication of Live Journal: The First Decade. Featuring an inspired collection of writing, photographs, and artwork from the pages of LiveJournal history, the book has been selected by Blurb.com as a top staff pick! We are proud to have played host to so much talent over the years, and we thank our contributors for sharing their extraordinary work.
- We all love quirky surprises, but not when it comes to managing our account settings. This year we streamlined settings into one central account management area. No more pouring through FAQs to figure out how to control privacy settings, modify notifications, adjust mobile settings, or update contact information!
- Being users ourselves, we realize our own mothers couldn't find us on LiveJournal based on our usernames and userpics alone (*heaves heavy sigh of relief*). But since there are times when we actually want to be found, we created a search tool--Find Your Friends--to help locate people by email address (it's in the Friends drop-down menu).
- Spam counter-attack: The war against vicious malware and spambots reigns eternal, but we've been making serious inroads to ensure your online security. We've established new protocols, such as requiring email address validations. We've grown more savvy about ferreting out suspicious behavior. We've added features, like whitelisting, to help you protect your communities. Our valiant (i.e., overworked) spam avengers (a/k/a the LiveJournal ops team) are standing on red alert so you can sleep safely at night.
- After an intensive beta, we launched My Guests at the end of the year, which lets you see who's been hanging around your journal. A number of you have even discovered secret admirers (not all of whom are creepy)!
- Last, but by no means least, we want to thank our volunteers for providing invaluable support and feedback. Their Herculean efforts enable us to answer your questions more efficiently, identify spammers, reduce abuse, and deliver better features (through tireless testing). On behalf of the staff and the larger LiveJournal community, we are truly grateful for their diligence, intelligence, loyalty, and passion.
You got your fix
- We recently debugged a number of the oustanding issues with the rich text editor so your entries look great regardless of whether you know html. You can read more about text editors here.
- In response to user demand, we brought back international voice posting. For more info on voice posting, read here.
- At long last, we revived TxtLJ with Verizon. For more info on TxtLJ, check out the FAQ.
Paid features you enjoyed
- In December, we introduced My Stats, which provides detailed data on who's been viewing your entries as well as statistics on commenting, RSS requests, friending history, and more. Despite a few early glitches, the response has been extremely favorable.
- This year, we launched and improved Notes (i.e., the feature formerly known as Alias), which lets you add private comments on friends and commenters (it's in the Profile drop-down menu). This way you won't be caught red-faced when you strain to remember details about that wonderful LiveJournal friend who sent you a birthday vGift. For more info, read the FAQ.
- When we first announced View friends pages by date, we thought it would be a quiet, minor enhancement. The rave reaction floored us, which made us all very happy. We gave it a fine tuning in February of 2009, so it's even better!
- How embarrassing! It appears pingbacks have gone back to the shop for service. We’ll keep you posted.
We didn't know just much you liked pingbacks until it went in for service. It's back and, judging by your irritation when it wasn't available, this is good news. FYI, pingbacks send instant notifications (via screened comments) whenever someone links to one of your entries on LiveJournal. For more info, read this entry in paidmembers or check out the FAQ.
Mixed reviews
- The search is still on. Some of you have reported getting more comprehensive results for keyword searches using the new Yandex search engine and like the ability to search within content categories (like entries or comments). Others have not been satisfied with the relevancy of search results. Please be patient. We're still tweaking this product.
- This past December, we wanted to try out a new holiday promotion. Given the crap economy, we decided to offer our Paid/Permanent users a stack of $10 coupons to send to Basic/Plus users for paid account upgrades. We hoped you would like it. And some of you did, but many were disappointed that we didn't offer Give More as well. We want to thank you so much for letting us know. Your input will help us plan better in the future. Just FYI, Paid/Permanent users can continue to send out coupons through January 15th. Coupons can be redeemed through January 31, 2010.
- We were pretty excited about Your Journal Your Money, which allows Paid/Permanent users to earn extra cash by displaying Google ads to Basic/Plus and logged out users. A number of you tried it. Some of you really like it. Others, not so much. (Just FYI, Paid/Permanent users who do not participate in this program will not view ads on journals. Participants will see ads on their own journal, but won't see them on other journals unless they specifically opt in.) For additional details, visit here.
- We relaunched m.livejournal.com, our mobile app. While it offers a nicer UI and enhanced functionality, some of you think we can do better on load times. Like most of us, it's a work in progress. You can customize your mobile settings here. For more info, please read the FAQ.
Missing Inaction
- We shudder to bring up the neon purple elephant squatting on our heads, but, yes, we didn't give you those a la carte userpics. We've been making radical improvements to our backend in order to support them. But no excuses. We know you want them. We cringe every time you mention them. We're sorry we dropped the ball on this, and we promise to do our best to get them to you in 2010.
Stumbling points
- Back in early August, we experienced outages related to a series of DDoS attacks. We are proud to report that we were down a total of one hour over the course of a few days. We thank our heroic ops guys for getting us up sooner and more consistently than any of our less fortunate social networking friends. We apologize for leaving you temporarily stranded.
- A couple of months back, we offered a free, unrestricted vGift, which induced a snowflake cookie avalanche. This resulted in backed up/delayed notifications, which, in turn, led us to reboot systems, rendering scrapbooks unavailable. It took a while to shovel free. Apologies for the inconvenience. We learned a valuable lesson that should keep us calamity-free in the future (fingers crossed while knocking on wood).
- That darn Best Buy ad. First off, we're sorry about the audio auto-play (we got it turned off as quickly as possible). While it's true that we'll continue to show this type of ad to accounts that normally see them (never to Paid/Permanent accounts), we'll make sure the sound defaults to off moving forward. We promise to do our very best to keep ads to a minimum on LiveJournal, while keeping a roof over Frank's head.
Full steam ahead!
As we plunge headfirst into the next decade, we want to take a moment to look back and thank all of our employees, both past and present, who have worked so hard to create our unique and magical universe. We couldn't have made it this far without you: Your contributions brighten our path everyday. We also want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to each and every one of you. Whether you've been around for ten days or ten years, your humor, intelligence, talent, and creativity are what makes this the most vibrant global community on the Internet (the best place on the Web, in our humble opinion). Here's hoping that 2010 will be the greatest year yet! We thank you for joining us as we embark upon another glorious decade of LiveJournal history!
