Fun, fun game.
If only my nephew didn't leave for his Marine Merchant stuff, we'd be playing this together. Accompanied with screaming at each other.
But it is a fun game, really.
IN OTHER NEWS
I might learn how to use make-up on friday.
The boyfriends' brother asked me if I wanted to go.
I think he's trying to tell me something.... ＝３＝
I'm sorry if I don't wear make-up, older brother....! ; A ;

| LiveJournal Major Notes: Notes, Tweaks, Bug Kills, LJ_Cares! |

Notes augmented
We've enhanced and de-bugged Notes. If you haven't tried it yet, now's the time! You can create a private note when you ban multiple users. You can also delete multiple notes at once. Lastly, paid users have the option to add a note (visible only to you) whenever you add or remove a friend (guaranteed to avoid embarrassing social mishaps). If you don't currently have a paid account, you can upgrade now! It only takes a few minutes and costs less than a bad shopping mall haircut (plus, it's way more fashionable)!
Product tweaks and bug kill
- In another effort to zap spam, comments containing links from domains LiveJournal deems untrustworthy are now automatically screened
- If you sign up to get notifications of the Writer's Block question of the day, you'll now see the daily question in the email notification, so you'll have a little extra time to ponder before you post. You can subscribe to Writers Block notifications here
- The issue causing random comments to vanish has been fixed!
- If you visit a LiveJournal page and get prompted to log in, you'll be returned to the same page after you sign in (Thanks, Dreamwidth)!
- If you don't edit the timestamp for an entry at all, the entry timestamp will indicate the time the entry was posted instead of the time the Update Journal page was loaded
- Comments with paddings/backgrounds render correctly within the comment box (and will no longer wrap outside the box and break frames/margins)
New FCK fixes rich text editor!
- We've updated our RTE (Rich Text Editor) to FCKeditor version 2.6.5
- When switching from the RTE to HTML editor, links for syndicated feeds are no longer broken
- RTE now functions properly in Safari 4.0
- An extra line/space will not be auto-inserted whenever you switch from RTE to HTML editor
- The insert image link now works correctly in all browsers
LiveJournal Cares
We’re pleased to introduce you to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) lj_cares, a new LiveJournal community dedicated to raising awareness and funds for U.S. charitable organizations that improve the health and well-being of people around the world. Each month, we’ll spotlight a nonprofit that is making a significant global impact through medical research, public outreach, and/or humanitarian social programs. Charities will be selected in accordance with the U.S. calendar of national health observances based on a high rating (of over 60%) on Charity Navigator and global scope of impact.
In this, our inaugural month of November, we will celebrate national adoption month by offering a charitable virtual gift (priced at $2.99) to support Love Without Boundaries, an organization that saves the lives of orphans with life-threatening diseases and places them in loving homes around the world. LiveJournal will donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale of charitable vgifts (we'll cover the cost of credit card transaction fees). To learn more about Love Without Boundaries, please visit lj_cares and read about how they helped save Baby Kang and the Rainbow Twins from fatal illnesses, who are now thriving in nurturing families. You can purchase your Love Without Boundaries gifts in the Virtual Gift shop.
Papered in postcards
A couple of weeks ago, we asked you to send in postcards to surround us with LiveJournal community. Thanks for coming through! We've received postcards all the way from Germany, Finland, and Canada and from all over the US, including Texas, Florida, Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Indiana, Hawaii, and Oklahoma just to name just a handful. We're thrilled with our improved decor.
Please keep the love coming for one more week by writing to Frank the Goat, Esq., c/o LiveJournal, Inc., 539 Bryant Street, Suite 210, San Francisco, CA 94107. Be sure to include your username, since we'll be drawing the names of ten random contributors next Thursday to win paid account credits!
Photos of the week
We have more dazzling images posted by talented LiveJournal photographers from around the world. We're hoping to span the entire globe, so please continue posting and tagging. Of course, you can also sit back and enjoy the view at lj_photophile.
You can see a sample of this week's gorgeous photos and check out spotlight communities and awesome user content after the jump!

EDIT@08:16 UTC/GMT. Wow. That was ugly. I expected it to go for 30 minutes and have maybe 1 minute of broken connectivity. Instead it lasted over 4 hours and we had 10 minutes of downtime directly related to the load balancer upgrades and then another 5-10 minutes of downtime when our primary Pingback database server crashed and the secondary couldn't take over; which could have been indirectly caused by the network upgrade missing a self-VIP.
Anyways, we're up, we're working, the load balancers are barely breaking a sweat right now and I need some food and a shot of whiskey. I don't even *like* whiskey!!
Thanks mhwest and dnewhall for helping out!
---
On Saturday the 14th at 4AM UTC/GMT we will be upgrading the operating system of our network load balancers to a newer version, one that will allow us to use both CPUs! Nifty, because multiprocessing is nice.
Since we have 2 load balancers, the plan is to upgrade 1 at a time, and there really should be very little impact to our website. Hopefully you won't notice a thing and I'll get to go back to the hotel and watch some wonderful late night infomercials.
We've got a lot of exciting projects coming up for 2010 and we're hoping that we'll be able to deliver them all to you, that you will find it useful/cool/lovely and then you will use the site even more. Behind-the-scenes work like this will give us the capacity to handle the anticipated traffic, so expect a few more maintenance windows especially in the beginning of next year as we've got some neat ideas to improve performance around here! We had the recent 30-45 minute outage yesterday due to one of our logging databases filling up disk space -- not so great design coupled with my human error in handling the initial problem -- and it looks like we're going to finally have some resources to eliminate stuff like that. I can't wait!
As usual, I will be updating status.livejournal.org before and after, just in case you are not able to reach our main website during the work.

Has anyone heard of this game? It's for the DS and its a lovely game.
I'm not too far into the game but it really gets to you. And to think that I can't read much japanese at all.
Summary from 1UP.com
As far as the game itself goes, it's a story-heavy, overhead-view adventure set within two towns and the surrounding countryside. A new girl, Nanami Yoshida, has just moved in to your neighborhood, and apparently she's being targeted by a local band of ghosts and ghouls. It seems this has something to do with a pair of sakura (cherry blossom) trees that dominate the landscape of both towns, one slowly withering and another one blooming deep into the summertime, as if to make up for its weaker sibling. You, a normal boy, decide to get to the bottom of both mysteries, talking to people and unlocking new story episodes as you go along.
Now what really tugged the strings of my heart is that Toru's dad, Kaname, likes Nanami's mom, Takako. Toru's mom, Haruka, is very upset about this but can't do anything about it. Instead, she confides her feelings to their family cat, Traumelei. And Nanami, who recently moved to town, has only her dog, Reinford (ラインホルド) who will listen to her.
God, what is this game doing to me? ; A ;

But I can tell you the title translates roughly to, "Aphrodite, O Love, O Tranquility/Quiet/Leisure"!
This was a happy birthday present for radish_lily and while she's had a day to enjoy it all to herself, I think the community needs some love, too.
(This was my first attempt at 2759 instead of 5927, so forgive the shakiness of it?)
Title: Goddess of Love, O Love, O Tranquility/Quiet
Series: Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Characters/Pairings: Tsuna, Yamamoto, Gokudera, 2759; mentions of Reborn, Timoteo, Iemitsu, Nana, the kids, Vongola
Rating: M / whatever that is equal to
Warnings: Almost-sortof-not-quite-there pr0n; more evidence of That Which Is Now Known as The Suit/Tie Fetish
Summary: It isn't the first time he's forgotten his own birthday, but it is the first time that a certain Arcobaleno's takes total precedence, even to his closest friends.
( the line is cut, the background noise fades to silence, and Tsuna is left in perfect stillness )

The empire strikes backIn recent weeks, we've taken huge steps towards blocking spam accounts on LiveJournal. In fact, we've suspended as many as 30,000 accounts in a single day! We've implemented several pre-emptive measures to prevent the creation of spam accounts, and we've honed our detection of suspicious content. Spam bots are a crafty lot, so we'll continue to refine our tactics and keep up the good fight to keep you safe from spam attacks on LiveJournal. RSS feeds againIf you're addicted to , ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/syndicated.gif) icanhaschzbrgr, or other syndicated feeds, we're pleased to report that we've resolved the update error that was mucking up your RSS feeds. While content was being pulled correctly, it wasn't being posted to the feeds themselves. Late last week, we finally nailed down what we hope was the root problem, so content should post properly. We thank you for your patience. Wii have killer CSI Deadly Intent contests! c_s_iIf you're a gamer who loves CSI, have Wii got news for you! c_s_i is sponsoring killer contests. Simply post a question to a member of the CSI crew. The winner will get a free copy of CSI: Deadly Intent for Nintendo Wii (with a retail value of $39.99) and get their question answered by a member of the CSI writing team! There's also a fantastic monthly contest. To enter, join c_s_i, play the online version of CSI: Deadly Intent, and respond to a two-part query for a chance to win a Wii! Entries will be judged on composition and originality. Sorry, but you must be a U.S. resident and over 18 years old to participate. Check out the rules here. Enveloped in postcardsLast week, we asked you to send in postcards to help us decorate our drab concrete walls. Here's a photo of the results so far! Thank you so much and please keep them coming!

If you are pure of heart
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~ 17, 600
Pairing: pre-GokuTsuna
Warnings: my stupid idea of a plot
Summary: After Gokudera reads an interesting article in "The Wonders and Mysteries of the World" he somehow convinces Reborn to allow them going on a camping trip. Tsuna isn't all that happy about it and freezes a lot.
( Part one )
( Part two )

Hi! I'm new! =D Yay for new! I have know about this pairing for some time now but I never really paid it any mind until this afternoon when I was on a KH forum and one of the mods had a pic of MC and Yosuke hugging in their signature and all I did was scream "I didn't get to do that in Persona 4!"
Mind you all, this is the first fanfiction I have completed in two years...and it isn't even long or anything...or even good. I should be writing a paper right now but I decided I need to vent my energy elsewhere which led me to writing this!
Title: Cosmos
Rating: PG
Characters: Souji/Yosuke, slight mention of Saki-senpai
Spoilers: None
Disclaimer: I don't own P4 or the song COSMOS by VAMPS.
( “I can’t go any farther anymore, huh…Into the beautiful you.” )

Hiyall
It just struck me that after joining the comm, I've yet to make a post actually it's because I already pimp everywhere But yeah, since it's always kinda quiet here, have a art dump XD;
Just posting some Souji/Yosuke stuff, the rest of it is on black_sun_shine with uh. random gross things that may or may not freak you out.
( A couple of pictures. and more. )
And uh, I did this PWP comic fill some time back for the kink meme, with the two of them in pageant outfits.
T > T Let's make some noise here, people~
