PSA: Capcha

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009 01:43 pm
miss_s_b: (Mood: Sorry)
From now on anonymous commenters (i.e. those who are not logged in with either a DW account or a valid openID), you'll be presented with a CAPCHA image. I know, I know, and I hate them too, but I am sick of the amount of spam comments I am getting. If you ARE logged in you should still be able to just comment as usual.

Sorry 'bout tha'

... Changing over all my internet profiles from the Gob to here. I have a LOT of profiles. Lordy. Anyhoo, what I would like you guys to do is keep an eye out, and if you spot somewhere linking to the Gob instead of here, let the person linking know to change it, or leave me a comment and I will nag them.

Also, the problem some of you were having with openID shouldn't be a problem any more. And I have allowed anonymous commenting for those of you who can't be bothered logging in with openID at all.

I have also been doing some graphics stuff. I took a break from the deadly serious and top sekrit graphics thing to make the icon you see on this post. Because you can never have too much Brian.

Back to the grindstone, I guess.

I have done lots of editing of profiles and buggering about with settings on LJ and DW today. I think everything is suitably set for the Gob to be closed down completely. My friends-only LJ account will basically become a mirror of the DW blog - this means that if you were only on my LJ f-list but not reading the Gob you'll probably see MORE substantive posts from me, but you won't get the twitter updates any more, because they are going to DW. Sorry 'bout tha', but hopefully this means that none of you will miss out on anything you might want to see.

I shall be posting one more post to the LJ account, saying publicly that it is effectively closed, and then hopefully won't be posting directly to it again. This does not mean that I am abandoning LJ. I will still be reading my f-list, and keeping the account so that I can comment on f-locked posts, and all that stuff.

I don't want to miss out on anything, you know!

And now I have done this I'm going to stop going on about DW, at least for today, because I know some of you are getting a bit narked by it...

As from today, I will no longer be posting to The Yorksher Gob, and my LJ account will only be updated with crossposts when I remember to do them and twitter updates (to make absolutely sure that my large LJ f-list will be notified when I post and won't miss anything unless they choose to). This is mostly what has been happening for the last week or so anyway. I will still be reading my LJ f-list and commenting and things. I am not abandoning my friends on LJ, or deleting my account, or anything over dramatic like that.

My new home is at http://miss-s-b.dreamwidth.org Please update your bookmarks and RSS readers as necessary.

If you have any questions feel free to ask them - but bear in mind that from hitting post on this to midnight I will be at work and I might not get back to you immediately ;)

I have five of them. Ozzy has already got one, one is reserved for Del, and one is reserved for Scarletgirl (I need a valid working email address to send them to, ladies, if you want to PM me one on here or DM on Twitter or something).

This means I have three going. Who wants 'em? First post, first served!
miss_s_b: (Fangirling: Beer!)
Was fab. Met many cool people, and remet people I already knew were cool.

Evil plots were plotted, and drink was drunk, and parking tickets were got, and there was much innuendo and making Darrell blush, and YAY!

Also I now has Seed Account on DW. Invite codes will be handed out like sweeties in the morning. That is all. Night night.

Firefox and its lovely add-ons make me happy. Click here to find out what shiny shiny Add-ons I have installed )

Also, Dreamwidth continues to make me happy. For instance, one of my bugbears with LJ was having to use the clunky and inefficient LJ Toys to track usage. But now? Now Google Analytics has been successfully installed and data is being gathered now.! YAY!!!!

Now all I have to do is hope that the lovely lovely customer who said he would take a look at McGruder, and if he can fix her will do it for parts + a couple of pints, will be able to sort her out...

Are You Interesting?

Been playing about with DW's interests page.

They've resurrected that similar interests thing that they used to have on LJ but got rid of. It's rather amusing picking out the people on my f-list:

Isn't the new Lib Dem tax policy grand? We got real proper news airtime and everything!

There, that's political blogging out the way for the moment. In other news, I have been v v v busy not posting all the stuff I keep promising to do and falling further behind setting up for the shiny new internet future! I have mentioned Dreamwidth already. The plan is to move over there lock, stock and two smoking barrels when my paid account on LJ runs out, in August.

At the moment, this is having a number of effects:
  • I am not posting at [profile] theyorkshergob as much, because I am over at DW setting stuff up and such

  • I have transferred all of my non-f-locked reading material over there as of today.

  • I am randomly squeeing on twitter lots

  • I have already started making substantive posts over there, but so far mostly memeage
This means that if you're not yet watching my Dreamwidth blog, you've not yet missed much. But you will, if you don't start watching it soon.

If you are on my personal LJ f-list:

You don't have to do anything. Courtesy of twitterfeed, everything I post will be shipped in once per day by LoudTwitter. Of course, if you have an irrational phobia of clicking twitterfeed posts, you'll miss stuff, but that's entirely your choice and I, as a Liberal, won't deny it to you. And besides, you can just add [profile] miss_sb_dw to your f-lists and then you won't miss a thing ;)

If you are not on my LJ f-list:

Then you need to start following the DW blog as well as [profile] theyorkshergob. I shall try not to crosspost too much, which means that you will inevitably miss stuff if you follow one but not the other. Eventually I shall be going over there completely, but not just yet.

Either way, if you fancy a DW account of your own:

Comment on one of my posts over there. Or Mat's. Or somebody's. Because (as Mat says in the comments below) they will offer accounts to validated openIDs as soon as possible when the site goes live.

I realise that this is a pain in the arse for many of you, but I promise it'll be better in the long run. Dreamwidth works kind of like I always hoped LJ would. The OpenID stuff actually works. Lots of other stuff actually work. I am deeply in love with it.

Oh yeah, and I already have a queue for invite codes. Ozzy, Del, Scarlettgirl, in that order. As soon as I get some, they shall be handed out.

Hi all! I'd just like to draw your attention to some comms on here that might be of interest. Firstly some geographically British ones:
[community profile] uk_politics
[community profile] uk_bikers

And then some fandom-based ones:
[community profile] ashes_to_ashes
[community profile] bpal
[community profile] being_human
[community profile] doctorwho
[community profile] pterry_fans
[community profile] real_ale
[community profile] startrek
[community profile] top_gear

I can't claim to have created them ALL, but I'm a mod on nearly all, and but I am interested in seeing them get busy and stuff, so feel free to join up! And then I can make people comods and let them do all the work...

I have also created a bucketload of feeds today (check my userinfo for details), because I am migrating the non f-locked parts of my f-list over here as of today. This means that I have discovered a lot of broken feeds, especially on the BBC. Since the beeb revamped a number of their websites, the RSS feeds seem to have COMPLETELY disappeared. If anyone knows of working RSS feeds for the following URLs (or knows how to make them!) do let me know:

http://www.ironmaiden.com/index.php?categoryid=8
http://www.topgear.com/uk/james-may
http://www.topgear.com/uk/jeremy-clarkson
http://www.topgear.com/uk/stig
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qgt7
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007zv7f
http://www.bbc.co.uk/ashestoashes/

Of course, even more annoying are sites that HAVE feeds, but that won't let you syndicate them. Anyone know how to get Beau Bo D'Or on here?

Thanking you all in advance!

Cross-posting?

Another test, I'm afraid.
