Cal's Other Journal

Well, that was easy!

Fri, 10 Aug 2007 02:31:11 GMT

I've just copied every single one of my LJ entries over to my IJ account, using LJ-Sec. It was so easy! I was expecting it to take much longer than it did, and thought that something was bound to go wrong. But no, it all worked perfectly! The only down side is that it doesn't copy comments over, but at least I now have a complete back-up journal to LJ. I've privatised some of my older entries, and will probably go back and privatise a few more when I have time, but on the whole I'm happy with it. :)

Looking back over my old entries has made me feel so nostalgic. I was so innocent to the ways of fandom and internet life back then...and probably even more open about my life than I am now, believe it or not. I know I'm not as naive as I once was, that's for sure. I'm a very different person to the one I was four? years ago, when I ventured online for the first time, following the end of BtVS. A decision I've never looked back on, even if it has been a bit of a rocky ride at times!

One thing I noticed is that I've just passed my 3 year LJ anniversary. My first post was July 2004. Wow! Time really does fly. I migrated here (LJ) along with some of my long term Buffyverse friends - southernbangel, makd, raelee, cdn_tvaddict, showmewrtr, angelspike69 and cara_leigh9 to name but a few - mainly to keep up with my favourite fanfic authors, but it soon became so much more than that. It makes me sad to see how unsettled it is on LJ at the moment, with so many people moving on to other journal/blogging sites. My only hope is that we don't all spread our wings too wide. I would hate to see this wonderful community we've built here (and it is a wonderful community, in spite of LJ/6A) fall to pieces, never to be repaired. I'd like to think that we all mean more to one another than that. But only time will tell, I suppose. *sigh*

*hugs flist*

Writercon UK Midimeet

Fri, 10 Aug 2007 00:14:32 GMT

I hope everyone who's going to the Midimeet this weekend has a wonderful time! As you all know, I was meant to be going to this, but circumstances dictated otherwise. It was to have been my first weekend away on my own (ever!) , but because of the complications with K's surgery it wasn't to be. Ah well, never mind. These things happen. :)

I know it's going to be difficult, but I'm sure you're all going to have a fabulous time...even without me being there! ;)

And don't listen to spikereader when she tells you what a quiet person she is - because she really isn't! Heh.

Don't forget to tell us all about it when you get back. I expect to hear every little detail. :D

Yay!

Success! After a bit of tweaking, I've managed to work out how to post to multiple journals at the same time. :D

*does the snoopy dance*

Now I can ~~drive you all crazy~~ entertain you from all over the place! Heeheehee!

LJ

I see LJ is down again. I hope it's back up again soon. I was hoping to catch up on some fic! Grr.

Cardiff a washout?

Fri, 20 Jul 2007 14:43:57 GMT

There's a possibility that we might not be able to go to Cardiff after all. We really want to go, but the flooding and torrential rain along the route might make it an impossibility for us to get there. My husband has just checked the travel news, and the route between Birmingham and Cardiff doesn't look good.

Keep your fingers crossed for us. I'll be gutted if we can't go! :(

Playing with my layout

Thu, 19 Jul 2007 00:50:15 GMT

I've spent way too much time playing around with my layout tonight. I have to admit I actually found it a lot of fun! Just the sort of distraction I needed. :) I still need to tweak things a little bit, but at least I managed to sort out the black text on a black background thing in my comment box. I was lucky to have received any comments at all! It can't have been an easy thing to do. elisi and hesadevil deserve a medal for even giving it a go, never mind managing to type their comments without any mistakes in them at all! *g*

LJ?

Is anyone else having problems accessing LJ tonight? I can't access it at all.

First IJ Post

Thu, 21 Jun 2007 21:16:17 GMT

I signed up for an IJ account a while ago, but never actually got around to using it until now. I quite like what I've seen so far. I think I'll be keeping my LJ as my main journal, but this will be a nice place to escape to when I need to! :)

It's great to see so many familiar names around the place! Yes, I think I'll definitely be sticking around. :D
