Minor updates...

[johno]

Been very busy in my personal and work life lately, so not much in the way of "real" posts lately.

Not a "real life" update, but some stuff that has changed in my online life.


A couple of weeks ago I hit the big 750. Yep, I tried to add friend #751 and the system said "Oh, no you don't."
Cleaned up some broken/dead RSS feeds & communities, and finally removed some user accounts that I know have moved on to using other account names. Back down to the 720 range now.


I've turned off IM forwarding to my mobile phone for all the IM services I use.
I've been missing messages or getting them very late, and I can't reply to them on my phone.

If I'm off-line, leave me a message and it'll pop up next time I log in.

Note: I prefer Yahoo, but sometimes have AIM, ICQ, MSN, & Skype running as well. (ids in my userinfo)


I met someone at a party who knew me from LJ, but had not friended me because other folks would unfriend me, if they saw she had friended me.

Normally I avoid drama, but what the hell, I've friended the person I was talking to. I wonder who'll be among the first to drop me as a friend???

As one of the 750 friends you have who has never posted in your journal before, I'd like to say that I'm not even willing to wade through your other 750 friends to see who this person might possibly be. What a weird thing to say. And how odd of her to believe she has so much power that she thinks most of the 750 people who might possibly like you on your own merit would just suddenly drop you because of her. Does she have Borderline Personality Disorder? Still, I think it's groovy of you to make the experiment and friend her.

And, completely off topic, but out of curiosity, is there some reason you haven't downloaded Trillian or some other multiple client chat program yet?

I also am curious about whether you manage to read all 750 of your friends on anything like a regular basis.

She gave me very specific reasons, but I was purposly vague on the details. Besides I'm long time tweaker of noses.

I do use trillian, but prefer the Yahoo interface. If I'm logged into any of the other services, I'm most likely logged into them all.

I make heavy use of filters, core folks I make sure to read, photo groups, communities, comics, news feeds, etc, etc.
