I just went through my lj and made a filter of "people whose personal lives I will still care about even if all fannish content is banned and 6A is sold to Fox News" and it ended up being basically everybody on my flist who makes personal-life posts more than about once a month.

For somebody who lurks as much as I do, I sure do get invested. *sigh*

I also stuck a manually-coded blogroll up the side of my new layout, with non-lj blogs I keep up with, and ljs I read for non-fannish but non-personal content, because I don't feel like fussing with rss at the moment. ph34r my blogroll. They are all highly recommended by me, but not necessarily without reservations. And I refuse to be ashamed of reading any of them. Even Go Fug Yourself. :P

I'm adding a small list of web links under that, and the LT non-java widget is already up with recently-read books (Anybody here on LibraryThing? It's my current second home on the internet.)

After that, it should be just graphics-editing work and then I'm going to call the flist layout done. Haven't decided yet how much I'm going to do with the other pages, though I'll probably at least stick a header up on recent entries. But I want to watch Casablanca while I do the graphics work, and I can't find my tape of Casablanca! It's a tragedy.

Then maybe I'll actually have the attention span to post about other stuff!

I should do something like that, with the layout and the blogroll and the ..... but I'm supposed to be posting trip pictures and finishing my TDS fic and reading HP3 and reading Fortune's Wheel, and going to work and sleeping and keeping up with my flist and taking care of my kitties ... argh, I need to be a grad student again.

BTW, I don't know how ardently you're working on the srs-bsns comm, but there's one at IJ now (http://asylums.insanejournal.com/srz_bznz/profile)! In case you want to affiliate or otherwise communicate.

I definitely need to figure out how to do some of these keeping-up-with-people-who-went-elsewhere things myself.

BTW, I must ask... did I offend you somehow, or are you simply not getting LJ comment notification emails anymore? You suggested getting together sometime to natter about LJ, fannish stuff, and crafting stuff; and I said "hey, that'd be great!" and never heard another word. So, I'm kinda curious as to what happened there. Will leave you be if you wish, though, of course!

(geez, I don't even have icons over here yet!)

Oh, crap - no, your reply hit the morning I realized I ahd to start serious trip packing, and then I *completely* forgot about it in vacation and aftermath. But no, we should totally still get together. I'm busy this upcoming weekend, but soon.

frek linked to a simple shortcut (http://electricandroid.livejournal.com/152667.html) for finding people on other services that I'm tempted to try (even though it misses people like you who have a different name every place thar land d: ) and

stellar_dust has apparently fallen in love with this RSS reader firefox etension (http://www.wizzrss.com/), but I'm mostly playing it by ear.
