Test entry - hello? Is anybody there?

Comments

[carbonel]

Reading you loud and clear. I think LJ is back, at least for the time being. (*crosses fingers*)

[kaffy_r]

It's still a little funky, though; I refreshed my main page, and your comment didn't show up until I accessed the specific post. Ah, well — I'm not going to quibble. It's just good to have it back (even if, as you say, it's "for the time being.")

[viomisehunt.livejournal.com]

Hey! Been frustrating hasn't it. But we seem to be back for a a moment!

[kaffy_r]

Savor it while we can, eh? It's the first time since Monday for me.

[scarfman]

My automated twit mirror posting is working ...

[kaffy_r]

Once this last little glitch (of not seeing any comments listed underneath posts on my main page, despite comments being there) I'll be ready to declare victory. (Yeah, like I had anything to do with it ....)

[promethia_tenk]

Yo! It seems so strange here now . . .

[kaffy_r]

Heh. I'm thinking that I might mirror my LJ posts on DW from now on (*thinks to self, 'You'd better learn how'*) just to be sure I've got a smooth transition if LJ goes down again. Or maybe I should say "when," given the DDoS history thus far. Sadly, I suspect it'll happen again.

[roadnotes.livejournal.com]

We seem to be back.

[kaffy_r]

I'll enjoy it while it lasts. The nice folks at Dreamwidth have a good space, and I decided to update my account there over the last couple of days, did whatever DW's version of 'friending' was when I saw familiar names ... but this is where I'm most comfortable.

[akirlu.livejournal.com]

Not me. I'm not here. :)

[kaffy_r]

Ah. You'd be up the road, then.


I did friend, uh, access ... er, subscribe to you over on DW. The system is confusing. We fear change.

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Yay, we're all back now!

[kaffy_r]

It's a little frightening how many withdrawal symptoms I experienced without LJ. I hadn't realized how much I depend on LJ for fannish communication (or general communication) with friends.

[mizzlaurajean.livejournal.com]

I'm here I'm here jumping up and down. I missed you.

[kaffy_r]

Woo-hoo! Missed you, too!

[davidschroth.livejournal.com]

Nope. Nobody here but us chickens...

[kaffy_r]

Hey, I like that song! Heh.

[ljgeoff.livejournal.com]

Halloo! *waves*

[kaffy_r]

Halloo right back! (How did the car work go?)

[penguin2.livejournal.com]

Still here, but so saddened by this latest giant step in the decline of LJ that I'm finally considering upgrading my forced-into-it-by-RL-friends-who-defected freebie account at that other blogsite, the name of which I detest so much that I'll only refer to it here by the initials it shares with our favourite Gallifreyan's programme o_0

It used to be that no other blogsite out there was within a giant's roar of being as good as LJ. Unfortunately, LJ itself is now no longer within a giant's roar of being as good as LJ, as it were. I weep.

[kaffy_r]

It's been frustrating, I agree, but I'm not looking at this latest DDoS attack as evidence of LJ's erosion. I'm actually looking at it as proof of how important LJ is to freedom of expression in Russia, and I'm proud of how hard the staff is working to battle against the attack. There are a lot of things about LJ that make me roll my eyes, but this is something I can respect.

I have posted over at my very basic DWidth account the last couple of days, and may post my fic over there when I post it here in future, but LJ is still my writing and fannish home.

[namarie24.livejournal.com]

*waves*

Oddly, although Mack has been experiencing (and is still experiencing) issues with LJ, I have had very few. I don't understand, but it's good to see people back, anyway!

[kaffy_r]

That's apparently been the pattern, for who knows what technical reason; I've had friends in the Midwest who got their LJ back 24 hours before I did. I'm sure it has to do with nodes, or nexuses, or other computery stuff like that. Ahem.

And it's nice to be back!

[azalaisdep.livejournal.com]

Here at the moment! Though goodness knows how long it will last...

[kaffy_r]

Gather us rosebuds, while we may ....

[tardis-stowaway.livejournal.com]

Yes, thank goodness. LJ withdrawal is no fun. I spent the entire time desperately wanting to commiserate about the outage with my flist, but I couldn't talk to them.

[kaffy_r]

That's why I'm hoping to build up my DWidth f'list, so that, if and when this happens again, I'll be able to take up the conversations without going through withdrawal.

[st-aurafina.livejournal.com]

I can't comment on anything!

*tries ironic comment for luck*

[st-aurafina.livejournal.com]

YES! YES YES YES YES!

[supergee.livejournal.com]

I'm here, though I got an error message instead a few minutes ago.

[kaffy_r]

I'm still getting wonky responses, too — when and how it allows me to respond to comments, or how many comments I'll see under a post — but I'm hoping those glitches will be smoothed out over the next few days.

[rallalon.livejournal.com]

Back for the first time in much too long. I feel like we're all doing the online version of huddling together for warmth by this point.

[kaffy_r]

huddling together for warmth

Heh. I think you're right about that. We're all reaching out in the dark and asking, "Are we home? Are you there?"

There will always be that part of us that understands that community isn't just pleasant — it's a fight against the great dark out there.

Why yes, I can wax pretentious now and then. Why do you ask?

[diebirchen.livejournal.com]

Geeze - finally?

[kaffy_r]

Yes indeed, although from what I'm hearing, the recovery varies from person to person. It probably depends on who your provider is, or where you are geographically, or how you get your internet. There are still folks down, I think, and LJ still isn't working without wonk for me now. How is it with you?

[yamx]

*is here*

[kaffy_r]

*is glad*

[maruad.livejournal.com]

no.

I have been out of town a lot watching one of my kids in a u16 football tournament.

[kaffy_r]

Then you were more or less safely away from a lot of grinding of teeth, and pixels, on Teh Intarwebz — no small blessing in and of itself. How did your young football player do?

[minnehaha.livejournal.com]

We're on.

K.

[kaffy_r]

And you're Number One With a Bullet, too.

[mack-the-spoon.livejournal.com]

Maybe this will finally work. I tried to comment last night but that pesky varnish error kept... varnishing?

Hi!

[kaffy_r]

Hi! (And 'Hee!')

[mjlayman.livejournal.com]

BTW: Doctor Who kittehs.

[kaffy_r]

Oh, those kittehs made me smile from ear to ear! Thanks!
