"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
this is important enough to put in Beep Me, IMO. I'll go over there and post.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
This is easily the most boring keynote in recent memory.
Wake me when something happens.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

The sources I'm reading say that the total number of layoffs was closer to 12 than 28, that LJ isn't going anywhere, and that Valleywag is just being their usual sensationalistic self.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Agreed with Jess about LJ -- it's nasty bubble-burst tech layoff time, but not OMG they'll be gone tomorrow time. Also, is Valleywag ever right?
ION, is Apple confusing GarageBand with Rock Band?

It was a good reminder that I needed to back up the past year or so of lj entries, but I should be doing that regardless. You never know when a server farm will get taken out by a natural disaster of some sort. (And yes, I know that losing my comments on 4th season SGA episodes would rank pretty low in the tragedy scale in case of big disasters. But at least this is something I can prepare for.)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
How does one back up LJ entries? And what happens to del.i.cous bookmarks if LJ goes blooey? Does one have to copy all that text and archive it by hand?

Hey, the matte screen is back! That ought to make ND happy.
