Joy and pain. Sunshine and rain.

Yay, I just registered for The Witching Hour! I also signed up for the lunch with Henry Jenkins, who interviewed me for his upcoming book, and who is probably the main reason why I am planning to come on Friday & Saturday. I won't be around at all on Thursday or Sunday, though, so I'll have to compress seeing all of you into those two days.

Yay, we got a phone call from our nanny this morning - her daughter had a baby overnight! He's a 7lb 3oz boy named Edward, and I can't wait to meet him!

Pain, my sidekick is still being Really Annoying in terms of replying to LJ comments. It seems that, because of the anonymity issue, I can't reply to anything friendslocked. At all. : makes enraged face

I know some people have replied to my griping on news that this is a "beta project" but Brad didn't say it is, so I don't think I was wrong for presuming this was a full release. Believe me, as an admin myself, I know that people can react badly to changes, especially unexpected ones, but that's not what's going on for me here. It's just, a lot of what I use LJ for is reading posts and replying while I'm away from my computer, and now, in many cases, I can't do that at all, and where I can, it is now about four times more difficult. And that is, simply put, annoying.

So I have a small request - those of you who don't normally allow anon comments, can you, perhaps, until this is fixed, allow them with a screen? I, and the other sidekick users, will appreciate you. But I also totally understand if you don't feel comfortable doing so. Again, I say, "grrrr."

I'm off to plug in my new-to-me mac keyboard and wireless mouse. Yay for ebay!

I agree with you -- it's a rollout that wasn't properly vetted as a beta. Too annoying. I haven't tried it out yet with my WinCE device, but I'll be interested to see how that works.

Taking your advice about anonymous comments to heart -- that's a good solution in any case.

(And may I add envy for TWH? Wish I could go.)

YAAY! I'm glad you're coming to TWH!! I hope I'll get to meet you. I should probably know who Henry Jenkins is, right? But I don't. *runs off to read TWH agenda* So far the only thing I've signed up for is the ball on Sunday night because that costs only $5 (plus a swanky outfit which I'll get sooner to the actual conference). I'm hoping that I can afford to attend one of the pricey events, but I've no idea yet which one. *sigh* Suppose I'd better get myself a seat on an airplane soon...

I've changed my settings just for you, Heidi. ;)

Yay! *L* I still need to register myself. I keep putitng it off until next paycheck, which was not smart.

I'll probably only be there the two days I have presentations because while we're up North, my roommie and I are hoping to do some sight seeing. Hopefully I'll see you there.

TWH! I hope I get to see you while you are there - do you know when you'll arrive/depart yet? I should be at least, partially, be at all the special events to make sure AV stuff is okay as well as in and around programming areas :)

PS I think they may have took your advice or something as I'm seeing whne I go to comments they have a spot for username/password and log in checkbox...

Ah, if only those damned boxes would show up on Sidekick! >:O

[abigail89.livejournal.com]

See you there!

Oooh, I hope I have a chance to say hello at TWH. I haven't added the Jenkins lunch to my registration yet (I'll probably wait until the final programming schedule is out, just in case) but it'll be neat meeting everyone!

As for the new OpenID, Sidekick isn't the only thing it doesn't work on. For some reason in Firefox I can no longer preview or use the spell check function. Very irritating (though not quite as irritating as your issue!).
