mackenzie	11:56a	Housekeeping In the interest of making it through graduate school, I'm doing some housekeeping. I've removed more than 60 syndicated feeds, 35 people, and 15 communities from my LiveJournal flist. This is my first major flist change in over three years. The primary justification was "I need LiveJournal to take up less of my time." Other justifications included "This person never posts or participates in anything I post", "This is a very high volume journal", and "I am not connecting with the content this person is posting." At no point was "You know, I've decided that I just kinda hate this person" a justification. I will likely continue to make additional changes over the next few weeks as I adjust to how much time I'm spending on LiveJournal. In the interim, I am contemplating what content I would feel comfortable posting publicly, if any. Note that I am quite active on Facebook. I will leave this entry public for a couple of weeks so those who do not check LiveJournal daily won't be taken completely off guard. All comments to this entry are screened. (Comment on this)

lj_maintenance [ dwell ]	5:17p	Network Maintenance - Saturday, October 31, 2009 at 04:00-05:00 GMT/UTC EDIT: If you're reading this, our maintenance is OVER! The problem was not found on our equipment, which means we'll have to work with our ISP to fix this small problem -- which also means another maintenance window in the future -- but at least we have eliminated our side. Thank you everyone, and a special shout out to rekoil for giving me a great suggestion AND also the opportunity to feel like I've just called in to a local radio station. Have a great day, night or afternoon wherever you may be. --- Hi everyone, sorry for the late notice but I'm going to have to do some testing on 1 of our 4 internet circuits TONIGHT; Friday night or Saturday morning depending on which time zone you're in. Most of us shouldn't notice any impact, though there may be some slowness or lag when I switch traffic on to our other ISP circuits and then another hit when I stop the tests. If a page won't load or times out, try hitting refresh 1 or 2 times and it should load then. If it doesn't work at all... trust me, I'll be typing really really really fast to try to undo whatever I just did. Hopefully you'll have some Halloween candy (if you're in the USA and celebrate that kind of thing) nearby to take away the bitterness of a small site outage. :( Here's the handy-dandy Website That I Always Use to get a feel for when the maintenance will start in your area. Our site traffic historically dips on Friday afternoons until Saturday morning which is why we tend to pick this time for maintenance work. ( tech details ) status.livejournal.org will, of course be updated before and after the maintenance window. Or else marta will get mad at me. :D bt (51 Comments |Comment on this)
