2:27a - Filesharing, Part IV in a continuing series
You know what I hate? (No, Meghan, what do you hate?) I hate downloads that are zipping along at great speed, doo de doo de doo, and then next thing you know they've hit 99.5% or something and then they stop cold. And you're all, great, now I have a large, incomplete file on my hard disk and nothing to show for it.

Luckily (for me anyway), this particular one has picked up and is actually zipping towards 100% at a whopping <2K/sec. After a lot of waiting, mind. Meanwhile I'm constantly uploading at >10K/sec. And I mean constantly. Considering I'm only sharing the files I've just downloaded and haven't yet moved elsewhere (since this program doesn't seem to want to share files that are elsewhere), I find it hard to believe there is actually that much demand for them. Ah well.

Edit: Jesus fuck, it just went back down to "not downloading." This table is made of laminate.

5:55a - You and your [insert name of journal]
Gacked from LJ, with all instances of LJ replaced with Blurty.

1. Your Blurty "user name" & what it means:

When I chose it, I had just read the book Image on the Edge, which is all about marginal imagery in Gothic art. Hence, marginalia.

2. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest) how well does your Blurty represent who you actually are?:

Um...I don't know. I guess fairly well, considering the medium. Maybe a 7 or an 8. I don't act all different or anything, at least I don't think I do, but then I don't think I represent "who I actually am" in RL all that much either.

3. How much about your life do you post to Blurty?:

Eh, it varies. If I'm bored and pissed off, the amount of day-to-day detail increases.

4. Is there anything you refuse to post about?:

Heh. Well, if I had a sex life, I sure as hell wouldn't post about it. I try to limit posting about things I am ridiculously obsessed about.

5. On a scale of 1-10 how interesting do you think your own journal is to others?:

Probably dull as dishwater, except for possible sarcastic comments. Maybe a 4.

6. From who/how did you find out about Blurty?:

There was a community here, that has since been removed for no good reason whatever for "violating" the terms of service.

7. Has anyone ever joined Blurty because of you?:

satyadasa, agapequest and tazadebevita are all my minions converts. Lisa is still holding out.

8. What proportion of your posts are friends only?:

None, because I'm not even sure you guys are logged in and no one else comes here anyway.

9. What is/are your favorite interest(s) on Blurty?:

"hating Maiku" If you don't know, you might not want to...

10. How often do you respond to/comment on other peoples' journals?:

I try to post comments on everything even if they are vaguely inane.

11. Do you prefer to write in your journal or read other journals?:

Well, reading others. Except when, you know, there is nothing to read. :-P

12. Have you ever had something mean said to you or been stalked, harassed, or got into an argument/flame war on Blurty (or did it to someone else)?:

No, but I once had Janssen Choy try to bitch me out xanga. It was kind of cute, in that hopelessly pathetic way.

13. Have you ever banned someone from your journal?:

I banned Janssen from my xanga because he obviously thought it was a replacement for email instead of being a blog where one is supposed to post comments in response to entries.

14. Who are your favourite Blurty friend(s) and why?:

I wuv you all. I mean, it's not like there are very many of you.

15. What language do you read Blurty in?

English.

16. How many of your Blurty friends are off-line friends exclusively (you see them daily)?:

This question is completely incoherent. Anyway, you're all offline friends, although not "exclusively" (wouldn't that mean you weren't on Blurty?) and I don't see you every day except satyadasa when I'm at school.

17. Of all of the people on Blurty you know of, who is the most like you?:

satyadasa, although we just had a lengthy argument discussion about how we were not actually all that like.

18. Why are you most likely to add someone to your friends list?:

Because I have dragged them, kicking and screaming, here so I can friend them.

19. Do you automatically add friends to your journal if they add you first?:

Nah.

20. What is the most likely reason you wouldn't add someone to your friends list?:

I don't know them

21. Is your "significant other" on Blurty?:

I don't have one.

22. Have you ever wanted to meet someone on Blurty?:

I think we've established that I know you all. Wouldn't mind seeing you all again right about now.

8:16p
We may have entered an alternate reality recently. I say this because Michael Jackson is currently a prominent voice of reason. Although still not a face of reason.

current mood: curious
current music: cicadas or whatever the hell
