First post!

You know what? I think the absolute most appropriate thing I can possibly put in my first-ever-Dreamwidth post is a rec for my sister [livejournal.com profile] stellar_dust's just-posted DW ficlet (DW as in Doctor Who, not DreamWidth, although the reason it's so appropriate is that the DW could, totally, also stand for Dreamwidth, because it is a story about the unspeakable eldritch horrors that lurk in the hearts of web-page-coding and the awesomosity of women and computers, all in just 325 words):

A Perl of Great Price.

Go read it.

This is melannen again, just testing using an openID from the comment box.

Woohoo! It worked!

Yeah, I have added to my list that DW needs to make it clearer that non-validated openID accounts are apparently counted as anon commenters, while validated ones are counted as logged-in users - going on about how everybody can use a easy OpenId account while half the users are default-set to screen them seems like it's asking for trouble!

(Am using my validated dw openID to see whether it's counting as anon or logged-in here.)

I went and put in an email address.

...And gmail promptly dumped the verification email into spam. Hopefully that's just peculiar to what I've been binning, rather than something that's going to happen to a lot of people.

Ooh, I hope so too. (I've gotten to where I check spam right away if I'm expecting an automatic reply from somewhere, so I don't even know if I'd have remembered if mine did that.)

d3wd. This is totally awesome.

I'm gonna play with this (http://siege.org/projects/phpMyID/) later. If it works, d'you want a melannen.katycat.net OpenID?

Probably not? I'm not planning to use that as a permanent webbase, (I still don't actually have any html files up there!) so I doubt I'd ever have a need to use it as opposed to my DW one.

But it will be cool if you get one for katycat!

If it can do subdomains, I'll probably get one for katycat.net AND stellar-dust.katycat.net. I'm trying to be all, like, responsible, and get my identities a bit more vaguely separate than they have been!

Testing, testing... boo!
