Aaaarh! It be 'Talk like a Pirate Day', and our usericons have all changed to:
(A user gif with a little eyepatch, for the benefit of those people who can't see it). Now I want to go and see PotC2 again!
I've started using LJ's new notification system. It's pretty good. There was a great kerfuffle when it came out about 'people will be able to see when people have commented on public posts!', which I think rather silly. If you post in public, it's out there for people to read. For the record, anyone can track whatever they like on my journal.
My mother heard an article on the radio about blogging. Suddenly this LiveJournal has become more respectable in her eyes :) Not that she actually reads it (I hope!)

Date: 2006-09-19 08:22 pm (UTC)That, and DeviantART has had a "show me all comments this person has made recently" feature for ages (it's what the "Activity" link is). Sure, it doesn't come with e-mail notification or message centre notification or anything, but still - your friends/random people/anyone can see that you just replied on three kinky nude photos or whatever. Yet I've never seen anyone fuss over that to the scale that they fussed over this new LJ feature, go figure...
