Notes on catching up on two days' worth of paranoia and fury in one sitting

[constance]

1. Sometimes it sure does suck to be a pervert.



2. I'm afraid it's not about free speech, folks. It's about Big Business. Do we all agree that corporate entities fail egregiously at openmindedness, or indeed anything that's not about protecting the fucking bottom line? Do we all agree that LJ's TOS, which of course we all read very carefully when we signed up, provides them with ample space to "suspend" whatever journals they feel like "suspending?" I thought so.
   
   Still. Big Business does suck. See #1.



3. I wonder how much work it would take to set up a blogsite for media fen? Like journalfen, you know, but more open-like. Probably an awful lot. :?

I didn't get this comment! I was indeed around, but livejournal is apparently punishing me for the snide comments I made about it, because I haven't been able to post all weekend, and only this morning am I actually able to post comments or receive notifications.

>:O

Are you working this coming weekend?

Lj, oh dear. You know, if it's true about the IPO I'm not sure how much longer we'll have here.

I'm not working this weekend but I might be busy on Sunday eve. I can let you know later in the week if that's OK? It would be great to have a catch-up.

Hey again. I could be around online from 8pm my time on Sunday - but isn't it your birthday that day?? If so I expect you're busy!

Heh -- I was actually sort of waiting to answer your first comment until I knew one way or the other whether I had plans! It turns out that I do, and I'll probably be out of town on the day of. Mmmm, Middle Eastern food.

So maybe we could catch up some week soon? I miss you!

Ha, well, it's perfectly acceptable to have plans on your birthday :D. I'm throwing a BBQ tomorrow so I wouldn't be around until late anyway (and then probably the worse for wear...)

But it's Sat 5.10pm my time at the moment. I'm going to turn on YM now, just on the off-chance. If not maybe next weekend? I miss you too!

I'm just now logging in. You still there, kid?

Yes! I just went off to watch Doctor Who but now I'm back.
