Measuring the Width of Your Dreams

[aggienaut]

   The lights flicker, the concrete walls shudder, there's an emormous "ZORCH!!" noise. You wait several anxious moments and then the battleship gray metal door with a yellow radioactive symbol on it slides open and a bit of smoke comes out. emo_snal emerges wearing what appears to be ... scuba gear.
   "I've done it! I've opened a portal to the Dreamwidth dimension! I've established a research mission over there, AND, combined emosnail, emo_snal and emo_snl! I introduce you to: Operation Aggienaut!"

   Now, I'm not leaving you. I'll never leave you! ...or at least not without coming back here and laying it all out how we've discovered life really is well and truly completely better over there and urging everyone else to come too. I will not slink off into the night and leave you all behind!

   It's kind of novel, I used the style from emosnail, which had been a lot more customized than this one ever was, so it's kind of fun to see my posts using that style again. Anyway, those of you who are primarily using DW now, please add Aggienaut there?
   Also so a lot of people crosspost from DW tp here, can I do it in the other order, from here to there?

Meanwhile in Real Life
   Suddenly, I am probably going to Congo, the Democratic Republic Thereof, on Wednesday. Yes, it's Sunday now, yes I don't have flights yet, yes I don't have a visa yet ... I don't know, I think The Organization is crazy to pull this stuff but they do.

   Immediately after that, I'm going to Nicaragua on August 24th. The current hare-brained plan I'm very not pleased with has me deadheading back to Melbourne from Kinshasa only to turn around and head to Managua. For... reasons.

   Following Nicaragua I'll be in the San Francisco area for about 96 hours for my other brother's wedding. Then on Sept 11th I shall return to my dear little village on the southern edge of Australia ... until the end of September when I head to Istanbul for the world beekeeping conference.

   Sooo I'll be fairly busy in the next month or two! So today like the nerd / obsessive blogger that I am I'm going to try to finish blogging about that LAST trip!!

   Now I just need to find someone to pet-sit Theodora, my pet basil plant.

Haha I've been on a flurry of friending still-active LJ users lately in a desperate search for continuing signs of life here.

I believe it was a comment in theferrett's journal. (:

Hmmm. I can see how LJ would not want to facilitate crossposting from here to there on the theory it would encourage people to leave here, but in fact, since you can crosspost from there that's probably a major reason why so many people have started using that end as their primary!

Have a safe trip(s)
As for Dreamwidth, if there was a way to cross platform I would do it more often, but it's been a headache for me. So I guess I will keep the light on for you for when you want to stop by LJ.

I swear I'm not going anywhere!! I'm just going to start crossposting from here to there (I think I can do it by just "re-importing" after I make a post here).

If you want to originate posts on LJ, the best you can do is go over to Dreamwidth and do an import.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Hmm Yeah I was thinking that, I can just hit import after a post an entry every time and that'll effectively crosspost yeah?

[mdlbear]

The disadvantage is that it's not automatic, but it does work.

I like the idea of a pet basil plant.

What a wonderful cat!

Alas there is not an automatic way to do it. Post-by-mail is nearly so though if you don't mind typing in html. I just send to both at the same time and now and then I do imports to catch comments since I wouldn't want to have to do that every day.

Hello!

we_are_spc is us. Be warned; we do not (And I mean *do not* hide the true 'multiplicity' over there; there isn't really even a filter "general means you are comfortable with *everything* including the author {f}, {J} {I/Z} )First initials only the Z refers to nickname) of the posts.

Feel free to subscribe/grant access. :d

So far as I know there is no way to reversepost )From LJ to DW) which has caused some people who use primarily LJ to not go over there because 'they don't play nice'. :(

-F~
