Fractured Thoughts

I remember now how much I dislike internet explorer...

Ever since the last update firefox on my home computer has been freezing my computer and has become basically unusable so I have switched back to IE. Ahh... it fills in addresses by alphabetical order rather than most used and I can't figure out how to make it reopen my last session automatically (I can click a button to reopen the last closed window each time but that means I can't reopen more than one window) and I just don't like it :0(. *Wonders what chrome is like*

This my excuse for being so slow with the highlander recs on crack_van (and I'm sticking to it) should make up for it this week.

I've started writing ficlets again, leverage so far (I have a strange fascination with Hardison's Nana) but might shake out a few other fandoms too whilst I'm at it.

Don't know  how many people have already heard but a couple of people on my flist have mentioned that delicious is shutting down (linking to this site) whether this is definite, rumour or something in between I reckon backing up is a good  idea.... probablyshould have been doing that anyway (I have over 1000 bookmarks on delicious and would be extremely upset to lose them). You can export your bookmarks to an html file here. I also signed up for an alternative... as much like LJ and DW I like the idea of having a live backup if the site ever does go down. I picked  pinboard because it will import my delicious and lets me use the same tags etc but there are various other alternatives out there. One of my flist did a post discussing them here. 


Anyway in better news hlh_shortcuts continues to post... a story for me went up today, which was lovely... Many thanks to whoever wrote it, I don't have a clue who you are (I'm terrible at guessing) but it was great.
 
I haven't commented on any of the fics yet because I'm trying to work out the best way to dothat without giving away clues for people guessing. Last year I commentedon  everything I read, including on the one I wrote.... I may go with this strategie this yar though at the moment I'm planning to wait for the reveal (I doubt my patience will last that long). I will say though to all the authors that I've really enjoyed all the fics so far, slash, gen and het even if I don''t know all the crossover fandoms.

Well my hl_flashfic fic has been sent with a whole ten minutes to spare :-). For such a short fic it sure took me a long to finish and edit. I will now find a bunch of different things I wished I had changed but that's true anytime I post anything.

Just remembered I'm doing the crack_van recs for highlander again this month (october) haven't even thought about what to rec yet. *Shrugs* re-reading my favourite highlander fics is hardly a chore, it's more trying to work out whether it has been recced before.

Anyway I think I got about 5 hours sleep total in the last two days so I'm going for a midday nap....
