It's finally happened. Paid Premium DW accounts can list 250 interests. I doubt I can even think of that many, but it will be fun to try... I'd already managed to list 190 by importing three journals (imported interests were not limited). However, I couldn't add or remove any interests without deleting 40 of them first, because the add/remove interests feature was still limited to 150. I also like the new ability to view the reading page by date, for example, http://helen99.dreamwidth.org/read?date=2009-06-01.

I haven't been here as much as I'd like, since my workplace blocks Dreamwidth (but not LJ). So back to LJ I went for most daytime/weekday posting. How fickle is the public.

I'm still puzzled by why LJ and IJ are not blocked but DW is. For a few weeks last year, my workplace blocked LJ, but then they immediately unblocked it. Maybe someone at the top has an LJ. This is getting more plausible now that we have computer-literate people in positions of power (it took a while).

It seems that LJ's ex-staff has not been idle since their departure. Before they were fired, they had been working on an open source project called Dreamwidth, created in the original spirit of Livejournal with some enhancements and changes. Post-axing, they continued to work on it even more than they had been before. It's still in beta (closed group) and is scheduled for release on April 30.

People are clamoring at the gate already and there's a waiting list for invite codes (I'm on the waiting list). I'm at this temporary account until I can get a real one.
