Hey there, lefty

It's International Left Handers Day!

How nice that left handers are acknowledged one day of the year, just like secretaries and tacos and trees. But don't forget, we left handers live among you every day of the year. So treat us with respect. Do not gawk and stare as we hold pens and pencils! Do not ask us how we manage to walk without tripping! If you annoy us too much, we will steal all your right-handed tools and you will be forced to use these.

In other news, this is my first LJ blog entry using the Semagic application. I've been slowly learning all its functions and I can tell already it's much more substantial than the regular LJ blogging platform. I'm already impressed by two things: a) if you highlight text and click the Quick Link button, it will link any URL you've highlighted elsewhere, automatically. And b) if you accidentally close the blog entry before you're done (as I do, constantly), it's fully recoverable. Thanks kribu, rivertempest, melusin-79, and beffeysue for recommending it yesterday!

I loved Semagic. The only bad thing about Dreamwidth is that Semagic doesn't work with it (since the posting technicalities are different - I mean, you can post a basic post with it and pick an icon, but, for example, you can't post with any security filters because of the access/subscription split on DW, nor can you have the "linked crossposts" functionality) and no one else has yet programmed a client I find usable. I had to bite the bullet and start posting from the web form after years of using Semagic. It was sad.

Ack, sorry about the duplicate! Don't know what happened there; I didn't click twice or anything.
