Kicks LJ. Kicks, kicks, kicks.

Guys, I'm losing long posts because of this read-only problem that's been going on for the last couple weeks, but now has reached critical mass.

Most of the time I can't log in or post.

I'm not getting responses to my comments either.

If I disappear for a bit it's because *rip, strangle, bend, fold, spindle* LiveJournal is just fucking up right now. I have a free account on the Filet Mignon server and that server's all... *dissolves into incoherent swearing*

Now cross your fingers that I can even post this much.

I got a paid account and FillyMinion's still flaky.

BTW, when/if you're in a mood for fanfic, I finally wrote my first complete story. If you're having problems with LJ, you can read it on my site at http://www.osmond-riba.org/lis/fanfic/touchstone.htm

Draco/OMC inspired by As You Like It and the Pornish Pixies Shakespeare challenge.

Now you have cameos in TWO of my HP fics.

That's all.

[nataliadarimini.livejournal.com]

Aw.I'm sorry.

Actually, now that I'm reading Deliciouspear's comment about cameos, I'm feeling the need to write you another snippet in which you are the topic of conversation during sex. O_o Why can't I handle straight-forward sex? Nobody knows.

Filet Mignon is the armpit of servers. :|

I don't have a shimmering of an idea what Filet Mignon is (unless I see it on a restaurant's menu), but you're not alone with the "read-only" nastiness. Nor with the exasperation.

I'm paranoid, but I have been wondering if this problem is stronger with non-paid accounts? Maybe as a tiny encouragement to get paid accounts?

(Dear gods and creators of LiveJournal, don't be angry with me! Paranoia is a bad, bad sickness, and I love you dearly.)

Hi! It's been a while, ducky.

Yeah. I just always forget to copy it until it's too late.

Filet Mignon is a server name (techies and their odd names...) and it hosts the free accounts. They apparently had a choice between making all users have slow page loads and postings (10 seconds each) or periodically putting the free accounts on read-only.

They insist it's not a plot to make us get paid accounts, but naturally I assume that they didn't want to piss off the paid accounts, so it's not a coincidence either.

Here's where you check to see which server you're on, per cliodne:

Go here to see - http://www.livejournal.com/misc/whereami.bml

If you have problems, go here to see if they are doing something that is impacting you - http://www.livejournal.com/support/

Darn it. My response didn't post!

Where, where? Your website's down, and you know, attention-getting and all that -- I have to see it. :D

Okay, I can kind of understand that the paid account users get better conditions. And since the worst thing I have to endure is clicking "reload" a couple of times, I think I can bear up with the inconvenience.

Of course, should I have to reload 20 times to get this comment posted, I'll probably be throwing understanding over board and start cursing like a drunk sailor.

If you want to tell me an email addy, I'll send them to you.

Basically, I made you into Deadelus Diddle's son.

You date Andromeda for a while.

I'm thinking of having you die tragically.

[deliciouspear.livejournal.com]

ROTF!

two things:

1. I made Icarus into Deadelus Diddle's son.

2. I love your user name. Can I turn you into a character too?

[deliciouspear.livejournal.com]

Do you need a new free server?
I can give you a password to my server. I have a fuckton of space and unlimited bandwidth...

I'm thinking of having you die tragically.

Hahahahahaaahahahaaaahaah! Wonderful.

Sure, of course.
