A Little Bit of Fluff

José Feliciano wants to wish me a Merry Christmas again. I think it's time to go ahead and do it.

Feliz Navidad, José. And to anyone else for whom it has meaning.

Apparently Facebook has been the target of a phishing scam that's hacking the FB account and the associated email account. So at the moment I can't access either account. To contact me by email you can use my aol account, same username, or my yahoo account, also same username.

ETA: Also, if I were in London, I would have told people I was there. Honest.

ETA: Ty is awake after anesthesia and doing well. He had a blocked urinary tract and lots of crystals in his bladder. With any luck we can keep it from recurring by diet control. (I wonder if ladybugs are on that diet.)

Why your publisher, which is you, should seek a better Internet Lawyer than the current legal counsel, which is you:

As for her publisher, AV Paranormal, their official statement in regards to accusations of copyright infringement is as follows:

"When fictional characters become such an intricate part of the popular psyche, as is the case with the Twilight Saga, legal boundaries become blurred, and copyright laws become increasingly difficult to define. This is especially the case when actual cities like Forks and Volterra are used as the novel's settings. Such settings are not copyrightable, as they are considered public domain. Similarly, the Quileute Nation is also not copyrightable, and neither are vampire or werewolf legends. Copyright laws protect writers from unauthorized reproductions of their work, but such reproductions only include verbatim copying. Characters are only copyrightable if their creator draws them or hires an artist to draw them. Stephenie Meyer herself borrowed a great deal from previous works dealing with these mythologies."

Since I haven't noticed this anywhere on my f'list, and since it's happening tomorrow:

LJ News on the server move

"The long-awaited server move takes place this Tuesday, November 18, at 8:00 a.m. PST. We're moving the site from servers based in San Francisco to the servers in our new data center in Montana. A massive data move like this takes a lot of heavy lifting, and to haul all that data from San Francisco to Montana, we have to take the site down, starting at 8:00 a.m. PST on Tuesday morning. We don't think the move will take more than four hours, but there's always the possibility that it could take longer (the best laid plans and all).

What Does This Mean for You?

During the downtime, nothing on LJ will be available—no posting, no Friends page, no LJ mail, nada. When we bring the site back up, we're going to ease into it rather than open up a floodgate of traffic. Posting might not be immediately available or the site could be slow to load for a while.
