International Celebrate Bisexuality Day

International Celebrate Bisexuality Day has been good and properly celebrated. Myself, [livejournal.com profile] lilithmagna, [livejournal.com profile] ergotia and [livejournal.com profile] spikeylady all woke up with a same-sex partner this morning and went to bed with an other-sex partner. Rar!

I haven't updated in weeks, so here's a brief summary.
  • I have a job! I'm doing webby backend for LShift in fashionable Hoxton. I've had the job since the start of September. So far, I like it - bright people, interesting work and good atmosphere.
  • I went to Devon and did more horsey stuff. It was good.
  • Damien Hirst's sixteen-foot spastic has appeared in the park just 30 seconds from my work. It's true - it says "Spastics Society" on the collecting tin!
  • I'm looking for somewhere new to live v. soon. I've suddenly decided I want somewhere by myself, either within walking distance of my work or near one of the Tooting Tube stations.
  • TrustFlow got shut down a while back - scraping people's friends lists from the userinfo.bml pages caused too much load on LJs servers. However, Brad responded by proposing we invent a protocol by which LJ can serve this information without undergoing the same load. The design is going well.
  • As part of that discussion, I started thinking about Single Sign-On protocols, and came up with a simple design suitable for LJ. Here it is...
  • [livejournal.com profile] spikeylady makes nice hot chocolate.
  • Updating LJ from bed is (cool/sad) (delete as applicable)

  • Updating LJ from bed is The One True Way :)

    I went to Devon and did more horsey stuff. It was good.

    Horses, horses? What, the usual sort with the four legs and the flatulence problem? Didn't know you rode..

    *grin* no, not those sort of horses... Look here ;)

    And both you and coracaskia (must figure out how to make names into links) looked so sweet wrapped together in plastic ;)

    HOWTO

    Waiting SO LONG for an update!

    I'm so pleased you finally got back to the LJ - your posts are about four thousand times more fun than those of my real-time friends, who are good friends but have lives that are rather too much like my own. (Actually, I got worried you'd gone friends-only and I was just SOL, expelled forever!) I was thinking of you just yesterday when I ran across this photo when looking for context on a Helmut Newton article I saw in the New York Times. Congrats on the new job, it looks like I'm going to have one soon myself! I'd mention all the exciting places/things I've been to/done, but I'm afraid kayaking is about it and it doesn't compare to Devon :-( .

    Nope, there have been no friends-only entries for a while. I've just been so busy with work and stuff that I haven't had time to update!

    Well now. I wish I could celebrate like that. Pity the day has passed.
