I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I seem to have three tags which is ...not right.

I had a lot more tags than they're showing me, and they're not in order. I had my tags bundled, and that's gone.

They list the people I follow, but there's no page that shows me all their links together, like an LJ flist. What use is a follow page if I can't see what they're linking to?

And subscriptions was how I tracked new apocafic and whether anyone was linking to my stuff.

I'm quite pissed off.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm assuming that their FAQ isn't helping you any? I think it was a silly idea to have a release with that many to dos, but I don't feel that the sky is falling.

And does your inbox not work?

There's nothing new in my inbox.

And half my tags are missing.

If I click on "gen" I get... ten links. This is not good.

I never used my following, so I have no idea what's normally in there. There is stuff now, though.

Did you email them to report the bugs?

No, I'll have to wait until I get home to do that. It's too hard to do that sort of thing from my phone.

I love Evernote and use it on many platforms. I can't imagine how to use it as a Delicious replacement.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

My current laptop needs the motherboard replaced, which is too expensive and not really worth it to me for a laptop that I find too heavy to actually take anywhere easily. I was looking at this one today, which is really more than I want to spend right now, but it seems like a good compromise between the power of a laptop and the portability of a netbook. However, I'm really not very knowledgeable when it comes to buying computers, so I would love some feedback.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

sj, that seems like a decent computer, but expensive for something that small.

And, a follow-up, if I may: I am trying to choose between the Lenovo IdeaPad Z570 and the Toshiba Satellite L750 with comparable specs (i5, 4 GB RAM, 750 GB HD [would probably get less HD with the Toshiba because I don't need that much]). I've never had a laptop before, and they both have their nice features.
