So I have finally done it. I've written Inception fic. I know, I know... Anywho, I need someone to read it and tell me if it works. Don't worry, I'm not looking for a full beta. You don't even have to run spellcheck. The fic is an AU and just needs to be read-through for believability. So...anybody game? *hopeful-face*
Oh the places you'll go...
Oct. 19th, 2010 10:08 pmSo I'm taking a serious trip out of the country for the first time ever. Needless to say I'm excited and, quite honestly, find it a bit daunting. My most recent trip to B&N for a guidebook didn't help. Omigosh the options! Anyone have a preferred travel-guide thingy? I'm doing the traveling alone, but I will be meeting people. Unfortunately they're going to be there on business, so I don't know how much time they'll have to show me around. I'm thinking fairly little, so I really need the guidebook. Or just plain old guidance. Ideas? Recommendations? Advice?
Yes, I'm strange
Jul. 10th, 2010 06:14 pmSo I'm organizing my icons (actually, first, I'm back; the story of which is forthcoming), all 700+ of them. At the moment I save icons under the username of their maker. I am now adding the icon's fandom to the beginning of the name.
This
, for example, would be saved simply as "tinpra" under my current system. With the new system it'll be "tm-tinpra" or "tinman-tinpra." Here's my problem...what do I do with text-only icons? Do I call them stock.text-ljuser? text-ljuser? fandom.text-ljuser, presuming I can remember what fandom the text came from if any?
Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? You can post that I've gone off my rocker, too ;) I started this project a while ago and I imagine I'll be working on it off and on for ages.

Techie-ish help
Apr. 25th, 2010 08:47 pmAll square now! I had to re-do the connection settings :D
antispyware soft
Apr. 24th, 2010 10:59 pmif you somehow come across this "software" on your computer, stop the "scan" it is doing, shut down your computer (even if you have to do it manually) find a new, clean computer and look up directions for cleaning it out. Unless you're techier than I, and some of my flist totally is, don't even fight with it. Find a clean puter, download the suggested software ("cnet antispyware soft" worked for me) to clean flashdrive or blank disk (I used a disk) and follow the wisdom of those wiser than mere geeks.

The info is on Ann Somerville's blog post. If you can't donate, please spread the word. And spread the word if you donate as well!
Geeky help
Apr. 1st, 2010 02:52 pmI dunno how many on the flist are this geeky, but it's worth a shot:
Our foundation is holding an event. We have posted the event on our website. However, you can't see the event using IE (still the most popular web-browser), but you can see it using Firefox. What do we do?! I remember some html, less css, and no java. But I know how to read a tutorial! ;)
Thanks guys!

So we have a bunch of sternos in the office left over from a breakfast. We didn't use them, but we don't have the tops for them either. We stacked them up, protecting 3 of them, but left the last one open b/c we had no choice. It has all but evaporated (3 weeks later!) but we've got 3 whole sternos that are just sitting on my windowsill being a fire hazard! Ideas, guys?
Is it still alliteration when the two words start out w/different letters, but the diff letters have the same sound? For example: is "Sin City" alliteration b/c both words have the soft S sound, or is alliteration really so specific that only a title of "Sin Silly" would work?
And why am I asking you guys, you may wonder? Because I might possibly kill myself actually looking for my old college grammar book. The dust, the piles, the scariness that is my bedroom! Oh, and because you guys like me :D
It's the Opinion Please? redux
Jan. 22nd, 2010 12:43 pmremember my last post when I asked for help making a sentence work? I got two very good (and surprisingly similar) options for fixing my horrible sentence from
moony_blues and
shaxberd
Below is what I actually ended up with. ( Thoughts? )

I have an owie
Oct. 28th, 2009 01:54 pmSometime this morning I managed to, quite mysteriously, pull my Achilles tendon and now walking is made of ouch. Any suggestions for fixing, dear flist, or is this one of those things that just has to work itself out? Although, in spite of the rain and the icon-choice, today's been a pretty good day.
