A scene from this morning:

Someone: *knocks on door*
Melle: *was asleep, wakes up* "Gnurgh?" *gets up, walks to door*
Melle: *hand on doorknob* "Wait, what am I missi--CLOTHES! Right! Augh!" *scrambles*

Turned out to be the gas people checking to make sure we'd all switched our gas off so they can work on the connection today. Still, I guess this shows the perils of sleeping naked. >_<

Wow, first call of the day and already with the assholery. Calling me "darling" or "sweetheart" every other sentence is bad enough, but then trying to haggle on the price for a replacement GPS receiver (yes, it's expensive, but as I pointed out to you, you can get one for much cheaper, and we seriously don't care if you do, I promise), going so far as to try and get it replaced under warranty? No. In fact, fuck no. What the hell is wrong with some people?

After a lot of back and forth with my host's Tech Support, they "ran some updates," and what do you know, suddenly my disk space usage is displaying correctly. (There's a small discrepancy of a few MB, which is about what I expected -- probably some logs or something that's outside my home directory, which is fair enough.) Coincidentally, "running some updates" was what they did to get the e-mail quotas to display correctly as well. Not too impressed here, because I still don't know WTF was going on, and it took four hours of song and dance trying to explain that no, see, a) I've already deleted all the logs in the home dir, and b) those would (and did) show up in the Disk Usage Viewer and thus aren't part of the 488MB that's not in there. So in short, I still don't know WTF was wrong, but at least it's fixed for now.

I now really want to redo my website, and mirror my LJ there and stuff. I know, rationally speaking, that this is me procrastinating on NaNo planning, but I'm not sure I care. Anyway, anyone know of a way to import/export from LJ to Wordpress with comments and tags intact? And if there's a way to friendslock entries in WordPress?

*noodles about with content management software* *pokes things with pointy sticks*

on WP, registered users have one of several levels - it used t run from 1 to 5 or 10, but i know it has changed by function name (editor, contributor, etc). I used those levels combined with this plugin no a WP blog to in effect enact a sort of flock: when logged in, users could see the posts accessible to their "level".

In newer versions of WP I have no clue who to go about it - but then I have not looked at that yet.

Hm, I might look into that, that sounds like it would work. Thanks!

*dies* My way of procrastinating NaNo is being listed as an Expert under Horses, Psychology ((I said Child, not everything, but we'll deal)), and Eating Disorders and getting people's questions about such and such.

Also, I too sleep in the buff, and I too have had nearly terrible experiences. My favourite? My boyfriend spent the weekend. We're both nekkid, and the giant purple vibrator and lube is on the nightstand next to us. We didn't use it, we were just playing around with the items, finding them fun to whack each other with.

My mother walks in. Thankfully, she was kind enough to close the door and mock me later.

BTW - would you be willing to let me metaquote you on the perils of sleeping naked?

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Sure, go for it! :D

Awesome. Much love. Your tags made me laugh a lot and then clicking one of them reminded me I have to buy another external for saving stuff on it.

And now I'm making a NaNo poll to procrastinate. Halp, yell at me or something.

We need cat macros for NaNo. *ponders*

That could be dangerous, when it comes to meeting certain word-tally goalpoints. After all, if a picture is worth a thousand words, can't you just make two or three cat macros and call it a day for your NaNoWriMo project?

*laughs* Post 50 cat macros in a row on your LJ and watch your flist KEEL OVER DED.
