Well, here we are, in the 21st century, being forced to use WordPress because it's the only semi-capable blogging platform on the market, currently. I am not amused. I want my Blogger FTP and ambiguous archiving and easy templating. I controls the spice, I controls the universe, I tell you.

In other news.

Okay, that? Made me feel like bawling my eyes out ...sad. I just. I mean. Goddamnit. I hate hate hate Generations, hate it, you’ve no idea, hate it. Rrrrg. Thank dog for the Shatnerverse.

...T__T

It appears my subconscious is telling me to get back to reading Umineko Chiru: I had a bizarre dream in which Beatrice combined the powers of Lambda, Bern, the Witch of Secrets, the Witch of Duality, and another witch of ambiguous origin with her own, and managed to stop a tidal wave from engulfing New York City which did not much look like the New York City present in the waking world. She also took a massive chunk out of a mountain while she was at it. (Girl is FIERCE, amirite.) At the end of it all, she was chosen as "village witch" for this not-quite!NYC and got an even fancier dress than her usual one.

I don't know, my brain.

This week's update is late on account of travel, spoons, and wanting to get the new payment system set up. It was going to be Tuesday (only one day late) but then I realized the season premiere of LOST was on! I didn't want to miss it, so here we are on Friday afternoon... My apologies for being late, hopefully the content is worth it.

Weekly Update: February 5th, 2010 )

Code push shortly.

In a few minutes I'll be updating Dreamwidth to the latest code. The site will be down for just a few minutes while this happens.

The shop will, however, be down longer while we test the changes in the production environment.

As always, please comment to this post if you notice anything terribly wrong. Thank you for your patience!

Code push will be happening Friday, February 5th, 2010 at 2PM PST (2200 UTC). This is an early day push, I know it's somewhat inconvenient for many people, but it's the best time I have available for doing it without waiting until Sunday.

The site (and all functionality such as crossposting, search, importing, etc) will only be unavailable for a few minutes while the update is performed.

The shop (browsing, making payments, etc) will be unavailable for longer: potentially a few hours as we work out any issues with bringing up support for Google Checkout.

As always, I will update our @dreamwidth Twitter account and this community.

Code push tonight

EDIT: Rescheduled for later. Tonight is the season premiere of LOST. I don't think I can skip that.

This is a short notice announcement for a code push tonight at 10PM PST (0600 UTC). This is just under 5 hours from now.

Additionally, the payment system (the store, checkout, etc) will also be down for update. The shop will be down longer (up to a few hours) while we work on rolling out support for Google Checkout.

As always, I will update our @dreamwidth Twitter account and this community before I do it.

Kia ora! We're back from Wellington now -- or at least I am; Mark's taking a detour on his way home -- after having lost all of Monday to international travel. And why do we not have the transporter working yet? Come on, it's the 21st century, I should not have to spend 31 hours in travel.

Ahem. Anyway. It's another slow week, due to me and Mark having been interacting with humans all week, but behind the cut is this week's news.
