"What brave new world is this?"
Jul. 31st, 2011 12:10 pmStill getting settled in around here at DreamWidth. I've been focusing on trying to duplicate my LJ circle as much as possible (obviously not everybody on LJ has a DW account, but of those who do), and have yet to upload a single icon. Which is silly, because some kind anon gave me 2 months of paid time here, and i should take advantage.
It still feels WEIRD to be posting anywhere other than Livejournal. It's been my journalling medium for nearly 10 years, after all. Please note that I'm not abandoning LJ. I've set the cross-post message so people are welcome to comment at either site. Plus,![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
mandragora1 and razycrandomgirl both made excellent points (Mand's under f-lock, so no link) about the DDOS attacks Livejournal is currently experiencing. I realize as I re-read RC girl's post that it's actually a repost of something somebody else wrote, but it's still important. Also link to Time article "Why Have Hackers Hit Russia's Most Popular Blogging Service?, plus another article State Suspected in Livejournal DDoS Attacks.
So I'm crossposting and all, but I haven't given up on LiveJournal entirely. I let my paid account there lapse a few months ago, but I think i'll renew it soon, as a sort of 'screw you' to Vladimir Putin. Just not today, because my credit card got lost, and the new one doesn't arrive until Wednesday.
