meitantei_cjParanoia isn't very becoming. Brad won't let Six Apart kill LiveJournal, it's his baby. He's had it for, what, five or six years? If they were really going to start charging more money/own our LJs/screwing LJ up, do you really think all these paid users would still stay here? They'd lose money faster than they could blink. And it's not like Brad's not going to be working on LJ anymore. Calm down.
And think about how pretty it'll look now! XD I love LJ, but it's always been very plain... and plain is good, because LJ still works (most of the time ^^;;), but maybe something else would be better.
I've felt screwed over by a website that doesn't even charge money for you to get its services. It's called Fanfiction.net. Remember that? Using 9/11 (actual 9/11, too, not an anniversary) as a cover, closing the site for two or three days and wiping it clean of whatever they thought was inappropriate, without telling the writers? Yeah. I've never seen so many people so angry.
Anyway... 'tis Thursday, though it should be tomorrow. I am rather proud of myself, though... for once, I didn't hit the snooze button a million times. Just once. I was thinking about heading to Borders to check on those books. (They're supposed to keep their inventory up-to-date and update the website if they sell out of something. I have four stores that I check inventory for. A couple of days ago, three of them had the Holmes set, Wall Street being one of them. I checked with them online to see if they had it, they said they must have sold the last one. I just checked the site again yesterday, and the other two stores that had the set no longer have them, so three are showing "Order" instead of the previous one. Wall Street still says "Yes".) I have enough cash that I could get them today... but I guess I'll wait. Really, the only reason for waiting is not feeling like pulling myself out of this chair just yet. ^^;; I can't remember how long it takes me to get down there, get what I want, and get to work... so I'll just leave it.
(Part of the reason I wanted to go was to bust them if they, in fact, didn't have it. I'm a frequent Borders customer, I want good service. This'll be the second time I've gone to get something and the site hasn't been updated. And if I complain, maybe I'll get a coupon or something from the corporate office, bwahaha.)
I wanna go up to the house with Mom tomorrow. ;_; I'm not even in the mood to go to the IRS tomorrow... and I've already spent a day out of work, last week... I have more than enough leave time that I could take the day, but it's Friday, and it's the IRS, and it's really easy, and as Mom said, Mondays and Fridays aren't the days to take off... I just want to get out already. And I never get up there with her. And it would be SO wonderful to get up to the house early for a change. Maybe I'll ask her about it later on, hehe. I'll save the bus fare, too. Then I'll definitely be able to afford those books.

Date: 2005-01-07 02:54 am (UTC)If they got bought by a BIG company, I'd be extremely worried. From what I've read, though, Six Apart is small... though larger than LJ. I don't think either company's at the stage where they're so big they can afford to screw their customers over.
