Two bits of bad news...

Economically, LJ may be going down the tubes. If it falls, I worry I'll lose touch with all you great people. :( Sadness.

I'm going gray, which in itself is not the bad news. I really don't care... except my gray patch I found is in a weird place! It's behind my ear, not at the temple or anything. And, the worst part? It's only on the right side. I'm getting old unevenly! Something tells me it's weird I should be most upset about the 'uneven' part, but there you have it.

Actually, yes, I am very hopeful for Dreamwidth and have been helping them out in my small capacities. This has renewed the project's vigor, and there are old school LJ employees behind it. They are not just making a fork; they are also making some changes to the system, for the better. For instance, your reading list and your "friends" will be separated. They're also working on making it so that your journal can be imported completely, with comments and userpics at least.

The lack of the ability to save/move comments efficiently is really annoying. :/ I've never manages to get LJ Archive to work, it hangs up everytime on the comments.

Dreamwidth would do the import in this instance--there is no other way they could import comments and trust that was what was actually said.

Oh, I like the sound of that.
