Well, if this works it was Stupid Easy :)

So I finally got around to looking up in detail how crossposting works. To which my response is, "Oh. Um... Why didn't I set this up ages ago?"

Of course that's assuming this post made at DW actually crossposts to LJ.

(Oh look, it works. Just need to look up all the fiddly bits for the footers since it looks like those are customizable crossposting footer created)

And one last edit: I'm not planning on abandoning LJ. But I suspect I will be shifting to mostly posting here and mostly using LJ to read/comment with people who haven't moved to dreamwidth. And who knows, one of these days I might actually get around to setting up a proper stand-alone blog on the lilfluff domain name (Someone may have beat me to the AIM account name, but the domain name is mine :))

The joys of writing: Starting in the wrong place

I have, after spending some of my lunch break on it, come to the conclusion that I was starting my Day 29 (write about a [person] and their [animal]) piece too early. But at least it's only after 245 words of too-early and not pages and pages of too-early.

On the other hand, with homework to do as well, it does mean I probably won't be posting a completed Day 29 entry tonight.

Excuse me, sense of entitlement, the goal is to pay *down* balances

In other problematic news, I keep having conversations like this with my sense of entitlement.

Me: Woohoo! The store card is paid off, zero balance!

SoE: Hey, cool, you know what this means?

Me: What?

SoE: We could buy an awesome new computer!

Me: Wait, what? This one works just fine.

SoE: Did you know they sell laptops with four core processors now? That's eight simultaneous threads! Ooh! This one has seven and a quarter hours of battery life!

Me: I said, this one works just fine! How much does that cost any-- what! No, I'm not dropping 2K on a new laptop!

SoE: Seven hours of--

Me: NO! I just paid that card off. The whole point is to get to zero debt. Not get deeper in debt.

(SoE uses puppy eyes. Puppy eyes attack fails.)

Me: No. Maybe once everything is paid off. But not now.

SoE: If I wait can I have a laptop with an eight-core processor?

Me: Maybe.

SoE: Yay! (SoE does a Happy Dance!)
