Fractured Thoughts

I'm sure some people are getting bored of this whole facebook thing, but for those like me who are concerned about people crossposting their entries to facebook thought I'd spread a couple of links. Don't know if people have already seen these but a couple of people have come up with semi fixes which will stop anyone from seeing the crossposting buttons so long as they are viewing in your style. Not perfect by any means as it can be worked round but should prevent most honest mistaken overenthusiasm.

instructions 1

instructions 2

These seem to be two slightly different ways of doing the same thing. 2 is a little more step by step, for those like me  who are less computer literate.

I've been really annoyed most of today because my internet was out and my ISP kept cutting me off when I phoned them. There is nothing more annoying than phoning a company to report a fault and have their automatic switchboard thing hang up on you after taking through all 6 sets of options...... I rang 11 times before I finally got through and then the guy I spoke couldn't access my account $%^&*.

Anyway it has now started to work again so I have given up on getting a train to their head office and screaming very loudly and maybe smash a few things. Probably just as well i don't think prison would agree with me..... I might not get 24hr internet connection there.

I'm working on another chapter of zero X this week (does anyone even remember that series :0) ). Next on the list is a Mag7 ficlet.....

Sudden onset curiosity had me signing up for Twitter yesterday. At the moment it has the 'shiny and new' factor, and I've found a few people in a mostly haphazard way. I have no idea whether or not I will really use it but the link is here in case anyone wants to follow me.( I don't like that phrase it makes it sound like stalking).

I've been doing lots of writing in the last few days, both for the GW/xmen novella I've been working on and a rather experimental HL fic ( a different one to the one I keep complaining about and really should finish). I have also been attacked by yet more plotbunnies but I am ruthlessly ignoring them, I just need to make a quick list first.... that way lies madness and procrastination.

It's my nephew's 1st birthday today so I'm going over there later. I like being an Aunty I get to buy fun kids toys and take photos. And give the kids back when they start to cry.

He he, I just upgraded to a paid account, 'look Ma, no ads'.
Rather more to the point I can add more userpics :-)

Wonder what else new things can I do now? Ooo I can make polls or voice posts. Am off to explore.
Nearly finished those snippets, should post them soon.

I'm back (in case the previous posts didn't tip you off). Yay I survived without the internet for almost a week, am glad to have it back. Hope everyone had a good Easter, been reading through all the posts, think I've commented on most of the fics at least.

Had a great time over at my Mum's went for long muddy walks and got snowed on (very strange weather for Easter) and tried not to eat too much chocolate. My usericon is my cat she was 'helping me' make the bed up (well I call her my cat but my Mum stole her when I went to university and has never given her back, so now I get visitation rights). Went to the Tate Britain Gallery was slightly alarmed when my Mum mentioned that she and her friend used to go there on their own when she was small, the idea of letting two ten year old girls go into and walk around central London on their own is unthinkable today or even when I was little. Shows how much the world has changed I suppose. Spent another day out shopping for something to wear to Mum's wedding, just need some shoes to go with it now (and to persuade my brother to give me a lift down). Managed to get over to see my Dad as well which was fun, his wife's daughter and her family were down too and we all had fun playing on their Wii and getting drunk.


Did a fair bit of writing as well so should have some more zero X ready to update this week and have done loads on both of my compositions for one_character, though I still think I'm only going to get one done. The Gundam Wing one I'm doing is on Sally Po of all people, which I'm finding interesting as I didn't feel like I knew her very well as a character so it's been a learning experience, I know some of you write longer work than that but 10,000 words seems like lots to me.
