Hmmm, seems Livejournal's issues were due to some Russian hackers doing a denial of service attack on the site. LJ is owned by Russians, and for some odd quirk of the social networking world, the majority(?) of it's bloggers are Russian.

Apparently the problem with LJ is it displays a diversity of opinion, which is not much appreciated in some parts of Russia. Sigh. The tendency towards total authoritarian power runs deep...

I wondered why I wasn't see half my userpics! My paid account must have expired a few weeks ago, and I don't read that particular email address often enough.

Hey live journal, sorry for neglecting you. In posting and indeed in checking out what all my people are posting on here... Hmmm, will have to try harder.

Some things I have been up to: Today I went way out east to my girlfriend's brother's engagement party. Which featured, amongst other things, a huge barbecued steak :-) Their place almost burnt down back in February, it was freaky to see an entire burnt forest about 15 metres from their house!

Time I got myself a real layout for my livejournal. I notice a number of you have quite exotic layouts - where did you get 'em from? I take it they're not from LJ's usual pallet?

Most of my recent entries seem to have been apologies for not posting more often. Er, so... Sorry for not posting more often. I really have been stupidly busy. Here are some of my many excuses:

There's an accursed project I'm working on in my cubicle, which refuses to go away. In fact, it more or less blew up in my face when I got back from overseas, and has caused me to (amongst other things) get to work at 5.30AM last Tuesday, also to work a number of 50 hour weeks, and to have members of the management very annoyed with me - sometimes unjustly.

I'm also studying "Management Perspectives", the second subject in my MBA. I'm finding it hard to fine the time to actually study, plus when I do, I find I can't study for more than about two and a half to three hours a day without my brain turning into pudding. I just can't push more information into it! I've been behind from the start - the subject actually started when I was in Switzerland. There's an assignment due in just over two weeks as well. So lots of things have been falling of my agenda - unfortunately most of them social engagements :-(

On top of which, I have to get my place into a presentable state for a house inspection for the middle of next week - which reminds me, I have to find a place to secret my cat. My usual place - my cousin's - doesn't work, because she's in Copenhagen for six months! Go figure.

And! I'm sort of house hunting, looks like Deb and I will be moving in together - more on that in a moment.

And.... I've been helping organise my toastmasters club contests, as well as planning to compete, which means I have to write two speeches...

So, all in all, I haven't been on Livejournal much of late. I have been twittering vigorously as usual (now over 7000 tweets!) if you want to really keep track of me :-)

Folks, I confess I haven't read my friends page in something over a month - possibly as long as two months. I'm sorry, I'm sure you all lead interesting lives, I've just been stupidly busy with work and studying. If you feel you have done stuff that I should know about - got pregnant, had major tattoo inking done, bought a microwave, please comment on this post.

Feel free also to chide me for not reading your updates as often as I should :-)

G'day All. I'm sorry that I've been such a terrible blogger. (I seem to be saying that a lot lately.)

I have been incredibly busy of late, I was studying the first subject of an MBA, and I had a deadline at the ol' job. Said subject is complete, I sat an exam the day before cup day. And the deadline is... Wednesday, but I'm on leave so it will pass without my participation - although I might pop in to the Office tomorrow for a couple of hours.

And I like blogging, I like this hear live journal. I really didn't need to not be blogging for so long. Next subject I study, I will partition my time better.

Ok, so I have been posting pseudo-updates via a twitter aggregator, which I suspect is just confusing the heck out of you and which I might now go turn off! There, done.

I have been up to lots of amusing stuff of late - dressing as Paul from the Beatles in his Sergeant Peppers outfit, sitting exams (OK, that's not amusing) and various other things I now can't remember... Although I recommend my pictures (in Facebook albums) from Wilson's Prom and Walhalla for some idea of what I've been up to the last couple of weeks. Lets me also add that it also involved driving 675 kilometres in six days. In a car which I had towed this month. Which I've since decided is on its last legs...

While you're on Facebook, you could also look at pictures of my Deb.

Anyway, I will be a better livejournaler from here on. I am, after all, a well known obsessive self documenter...

Hello, I'm back.
maxcelcat: (Cat Go Blah Blah Blah)
Hey All,

I've not been a good blogger of late. Sorry. Not that my life has been particularly exciting, which is not to say I don't have material... I will find the time to do some more comprehensive blogging. But that might have to wait a couple of weeks...

Hmmmm

Should I be miffed that at least six people who's LJ's I read aren't mutual friends with me? In other words, they aren't reading mine? :-(
maxcelcat: (Krazy Kat)
I've been playing with my layout a bit lately (if you're reading this on your friends page, you might need to go to my actual journal page) to see what I'm talking about.

What do you all think?
maxcelcat: (Catnip Cat macro)
Time I spruced up my LJ. Can anyone suggest a layout I might like? Preferably one with a list of tags down the side, legible, but with lots of Dark colors :-)

Oh, probably time I moved away from my Alien head emoticons, or whatever they're called.

Keeping in mind I have a paid account, which increases my range of options a smidgen!
