12 hours and nothing to show for it.

I looked at the blank page and then promptly got pulled into a conversation with someone that I really needed to be talking to. I had some business to iron out.

So… Still working on something of value. Sadly.. even though I am in this for the long run.. There is life. There is baby changing, shimmeringjemmy relieving, dinner prep… you know.. that whole life thing.

And I do choose to live on occasion 😉

Administrivia time: filter time for a big audience

Filed Under: Uncategorized by Lord Andrei — 2 Comments
2007.07.28

i won’t make this one of the official Blogathon posts because it’d be cheating in my opinion. Especially since this way leads to filtered posts that are not world viewable and thus not really blogathon valid.

But.. I have added a whole slew of new journals… So before I make ‘other’ posts… I wanted to add this note again…

Usually, when I make this post, it means I’m intending to (though as is my nature, likely not to follow up with a) post to one of these filtered groups I have.

Unfortunately if you want to be on these filters you have to do 5 things.

1) Have a livejournal account.

2) Go to my Administrivia posting which describes my filters (at least the ones I want people to know about)

3) Check off the ones you would like to be on. (Or off if you’re a bored old timer.)

4) Make a comment to that post that you’ve made selections. (You don’t need to say in the comments which ones you’ve chosen. Actually for privacy, you probably shouldn’t. I can read it in the poll) But commenting tells me to look at the poll for your current list.

5) Important: Don’t be disappointed if you don’t see anything. Some of the filters are used rarely. Some you won’t be put on despite asking. (OTO for example requires me to know that you’re an initiate.)

Sounds like a lot.. But it keeps me just that inch further away from insanity.

Thanks! **Waves**

I’ve made it 1/4 of the way thru.

So.. we’re probably going to run errands. That should throw a wrench into how things are going….

Stay tuned!

Meta updates and another short inquiry… Facebook

Filed Under: Uncategorized by Lord Andrei — 6 Comments

Somehow, I’ve gotten up to 3 sponsors. Thank you kindly to all of them. One is $2 for each hour I survive. As a result I am nearly at $200 raised for planned parenthood. Which makes me feel kinda fuzzy and happy. Apparently this already puts me in the top quarter of fundraisers for the event.

More over I’m pleased that of the original blogs committed to the process nearly 20% haven’t lasted the first 5 hours. I’m not so pleased abut others dropping out.. I’m more pleased that I’m not one of them. This is kinda cool and very much an incentive for me to have better follow-thru.

Before the inquiry, I’d like to take a moment to talk about HELL TOYS

Most of what we buy for aiden_freeman comes from consignment shops. Effectively used toys and clothes. shimmeringjemmy bought a toy for him. It turned out to be a HELL TOY

It is this rolling toy with little balls in it. So it makes a white noise-ish sound when rolled. This is not what makes it a HELL TOY. See, when jarred by a child it plays a digital recording of “The Farmer in the Dell” followed by a childs laugh. It also lights up. That being said.. the jarring sensor is broken. Sometimes it has a hair trigger. And I mean if someone across the room brushes their hair.. it goes off. Other times…. You can place kick it across the room and it doesn’t make a sound.

I only bring this up because it is behind the sofa and randomly going off for no reason.

Thus: HELL TOY HELL TOY! HELL TOY

(ahem)

Now for the inquiry. Recently I stumbled (no, really, I don’t no how I found the site) upon Facebook. I think it’s recently been gobbled up by that acquirer of Web 2.0 Sixapart. (Yes, the same company that convinced brad that it wasn’t selling out.)

Anyone else played with this site? Anyone else on it? How did you find it? how do you find it? What do you think of it?

Yes… I am a social networking whore.

And while I don’t have your attention.. I’d like to introduce
asphyxi

asphyxi is my blogathon monitor. Her job is to basically report me to blogathon central if I stop posting. (At least that’s the impression I get)

Everybody wave 😉

Good morning, starshine… the Earth says hello

Good morning, Mr. And Mrs. America and all the ships at Sea.

the local time is current 5:52 am as I write this. I went to bed mildle later than I typically do during the week. So instead of naturally waking at 4am I kind of stumbled hrough my snooze bar at 5, 5:09, and 5:18

It is Blogathon day. I will be writing the posts up until about 2 until the half h\our and hitting submit to try to get them online as close to the half hour as I can.

One amusing note… there are pretty much no people I sociallize with locally who will read any of my posts today.

Between the OTO having a campout and OLO hosting Fires of Lughnasadh many of my local readers are away.

So I expect record low comments and record high self involvement..
