Looks like the kerfuffle ought to be winding down soon, hopefully. I know people are still gonna be pissed at LJ/6A for a while at least, but it looks like I won't have to leave LJ to keep up with fandom, which, thank god. I have my entire adult life documented in this journal, folks, not to mention my permanent account, and I dun like changes. I tried leaving LJ for nine months, once, and I'm not doing that again. Although anatsuno brought up a good point about the centralisation, and I'm going to be thinking about decentralising a bit, probably. Whatever that'll mean for me, of course. And that's the most substantial thing I'm going to say about the situation, because other people are better at that sort of thing, and I tend to hide from kerfuffles a lot, especially when stressed. *goes back into cave to go draw cave art pr0n*

In completely unrelated news: food post! And speaking of food, best bento ever, holy crap!

Also, I need some help with Outlook Express. (Don't look at me like that, they make us use it at work, boo.) I have several shared mailboxes I need to keep an eye on. Unfortunately, the automatic send/receive thing keeps hanging on the shared boxes, and then not telling me about it, so I have to keep remembering to go cancel it and check manually, which means I often don't get e-mails to my own inbox until an hour after they were sent. Is there any way to disable automatic send/receive for the shared boxes?

I was thinking last night that if I suddenly didn't have an LJ, where would I go? I've been here since 2001! Then I started getting close to a panic attack, so I went "la la la" and stopped thinking about it. And that's my take on this whole thing. :P

December 2000, here. Just 20, I'd just decided to quit uni, wouldn't find my first job for the next two months, and Scotland and everything were still more than three years away. So, yeah, really. My whole adult life is chronicled here, and it's honest to god been a lifesaver when I had to remember exact dates of events and all, so if nothing else, I have to stay on LJ or I'd lose my damned memory! ;D

The good thing about centralization: It's easy to keep track of everyone all at once and in one place.

*nod* I do like the centralisation, because if nothing else, it's now possible for me to be in a fandom yet ignore the people that annoy me. But I do kinda hope that this will lead to more fans putting their stories on a website, because I still prefer that format for fic-reading, for example.

Fic on websites is also usually easier to find, which is a nice bonus.
