dream wide, sister lj'ers

[stgulik]

Just registered with something called dreamWIDTH under my lj username. I don't anticipate I'll ever use it, but when it comes to new sites, it's always best to promptly stake your claim under your favorite pseudonym. If you don't, someone may adopt your username, and then you're back to square one. I learned that the hard way on Twitter. It's a painful story. I don't want to talk about it.

Denise, the site owner? moderator? uberwench? posts fresh registration codes every so often. Good luck.

Oh, in other news, I heartily recommend Cowboys and Aliens. It's sci-fi and it's terribly violent, but if you dig the former and don't mind the latter, you're sure to enjoy it.

I'm there now, Jules babe. Oh, and I'm uploading As Morning Falls to Dropbox even as we speak. Hopefully, I'll have The Sensual World uploaded by tomorrow, but not, I fear, in time for your flight. I'll do me best, but I don't think I'll get but half the story mixed down before then.

This was so nice of you! I loaded As Morning Falls and the rest of the recorded podfic onto a spare mp3 player. Should provide much listening pleasure on the trip. And nobody will be the wiser, except if I accidentally laugh out loud when I listen to "10 Things" again.

I crosspost everything here from DW. I find their business practices and general policies much more sane than LJ's. (Not that it's exactly LJ's fault they were DDoSed yet again.) I feel good about giving them my money whereas on LJ I let my two accounts expire last year - after having been a paid user for something like eight years - because I finally found myself shaking my head one too many times.

DW evangelism out. Just saying it would be great if more people would post over there - everyone always says "it's too quiet" and then compounds the problem by not posting. ;)

BTW the codes in dw-codesharing are posted by users, and many of us have bundles because they distribute them fairly often. It's really not that hard to get a hold of a code (and if you really can't, you can always pay $3 I think it is for a one-month paid acct and let it expire).

Interesting. Thanks for all that. I haven't been on lj long enough to have an opinion on their business practices. But now I'm happy I did join dW, just as a backup.

How do you find your friends there? I know you and Teddy Radiator, but I can't figure out how to find your blogs yet.

Try the same account name, first; a good number of people have done as you did here, and staked out same names just in case. (Although I've been tripped up by false positives a couple times. Checking profile info is a good idea.) Or just post here and ask, "if you have a DW, what's your username". (Mine's the same over there, as you've presumably noticed ;) )

Yeah, I went back over there and stalked - er, found you!
