I got a Dreamwidth invite this morning, so this is actually a cross-post from Dreamwidth. Let's see if it works...

So LJ import seems to have gone well. Some observations:

• It was fast! About 6 minutes to do the whole lot!
• Comments preserved and look pretty good.
• Only my main icon was imported. Not too much hassle to manually add the rest.
• I could have sworn the privacy settings were preserved, but it appears everything is flocked at the moment. Maybe because I fiddled with the default privacy settings, but I assumed that was for new posts only. 
• The extra settings for post restrictions look very good.

Anyway, I now have a proper friend! Hi alasen ! It's just like first day of LJ again!

Edit: I should have read this earlier!
"A note: if you've used the Privacy tab of the Manage Settings page to set a default entry security level that's more restrictive than the security level on the entry you're importing from the other site, the entry will import using your Dreamwidth security level, not the security level on the other site.".

Note to self - read the comments to this page later: http://dw-news.dreamwidth.org/2826.html

"Brought to you by the sleepless in Melbourne, arrch and nescienx."

( Part IV: The gorillas were clearly unimpressed.Collapse )

Stay tuned for Part 5!

To quote tinted_glass:

Summarise 10 of your fandoms in one sentence, then see who on your friends list can guess each fandom.

1. No rain will wash me out, but dial hash first.
2. When light becomes dark, we go and decorate the christmas tree.
3. Black is fashionable, but I'm no vampire. Batman (siew)
4. What the devil, I ordered no chicken. Monkey Island (la_muerta)
5. The tea is in the locker, and I have no key. Pirates of the Caribbean (la_muerta)
6. Civil wars and family feud, a frog jump without strings. Star Wars (aefallen)
7. In this heat, there's only so much cow I can wear and still eat cream. Indiana Jones (siew)
8. Needle in a haystack is like scoring three goals in a volcano. (ranchelle)
9. On second thought, cancel my order, I don't like playing chess.
10. Thunderbolts and lightning, catch it now and win the game. Harry Potter (tinted_glass)

Some are a bit cryptic, but I'll give a hint. There's 2 computer games, and 8 movies series. Usually it will refer to a character. By movie series I mean they all have at least one sequel!

New hint: there's no Matrix or X-Men.

To quote nescienx...

This is brought to you by the sleepless in Melbourne arrch and nescienx. We were supposed to sleep early on the last day of our trip, but arrch pulled out his PC Tablet.

This game is played by participants writing a line and three words. The next person to continue will not be able to read the first line, but the three words in the next line. Somehow the result made sense. XD;

nescienx posted Part 1.

( I now present to you Part 2.Collapse )

To be continued in Part 3!

nescienx made a post about 80's video clips, so kind of appropriate I came across this one today:

I'm gonna be (500 miles)

From the point of view of two trolls (and I agree that the choice of song certainly lives up to the amount of walking one has to do in WoW too).

ZOMG... Sushi USB keys!

Oh noes! The site has other crazy things too...

(thanks to aingeal_isilme for the tip-off)

A 20% off Kinokuniya voucher (for the Sydney store). Month of May only.

The plant in our room looked very thirsty, so we watered it and decided to take a webcam shot every 2 minutes.

And then we uploaded it to You Tube.

We filmed our plant for a day.

Adam turned the light off when he left, but you get to see the sunrise too.

I dunno why I like this so much but it is cool. XD



Reminds me of Arthas in the Frozen Throne credits.

I haven't done a pic spam in a while. Don't click the link if you're on low bandwidth! Or at work! There's about a mb or so of pics under this cut...
