DUDE!

That dancercise DVD is HARD!!! It's SO FAST! Look, it's making me excessively use capslock. LOL!

I'm fairly sure I didn't do any of the routines properly but I was jumping around like a loon and I got my heart rate up so that's all I care about. Will have another go tomorrow

Haven't got anywhere near as much writing done today as I'd hoped. I'll have another go after dinner.

Is anyone else joining in the proposed LJ strike on Friday? I only just heard about it but this is the info I nicked from someone elses journal

Want to protest against LJ censoring the interest pages and removing the Basic account level?
Join the strike! (And repost this to your own journal.)
Everything's explained at beckyzoole's LJ, but basically: on Friday, March 21st, we will not be posting or commenting for 24 hours.

This and this are also very worrying.

Edit: The censorship of LJ interests has been removed (link in the comments) but the strike is still going ahead

Popular interests list is no longer censored.

[hils.livejournal.com]

Ah, that's interesting. Wonder if she will cancel the strike now

[caersidi.livejournal.com]

She's not cancelling.

Crys and I will be joining in as we won't cross a picket line :) even if not as bothered as some by the basic accounts change.

[hils.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the basic account stuff doesn't concern me as much but if the strike is still going ahead then I will participate

[blisstasteful.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm, now doesn't that seem charitable?

Almost makes you forget all about that whole basic account furor, huh.

[ghosts.livejournal.com]

the protest isn't going to do anything.
i've been with livejournal since the beginning. trust me, this is the end and you're best to start moving elsewhere for when shit really hits the fan. if you transfer, let me know. im already set up =]

[hils.livejournal.com]

I have an IJ and a GJ. So I'm set to move when everyone else does

[ghosts.livejournal.com]

oooh? linky?
gj broke btw ;p

[hils.livejournal.com]

It did? LOL! Goes to show how often I use it

I've apparently never used IJ either. LOL

I'm not striking. And I'm not sure Good Friday is the appropriate day for the strike.

I asked about the interests through the feedback form and got this response:

Thank you for contacting us about this matter.

We became aware of an issue which involved the most popular interests list over this past weekend. The list has been restored to the proper format today.

We apologize, and this will not happen again. It was never the intention to insult anyone or to make a judgment on the content of these interests.

That's good. That was what I had issue with more than the basic account thing

[selinamoonfire.livejournal.com]

I'm glad that the censoring has been corrected. I'm uncertain about the basic account thing though. I can understand the owners wanting the ad revenue, but the tracking? That bothers me a LOT.

You've been here longer than I have. Do you think that people will leave?

[hils.livejournal.com]

No, I don't think people will leave. There's always a lot of talk about it but when it comes to it LJ is the best journalling program out there and people are loathe to leave the contact group they've made here

I'm not leaving that's for sure
