OK, so I'm sitting in front of my computer on a wonderful September morning and writing an article in this spankin' new journal, and why? Why, you ask? Not because I've got bugger all to say to the world (hah!). But, rather, because I'm testing out this program, "centericq", which basically turns live journal into Pine (the email
client).

And I was purely curious if it's as easy to post as it is to browse friends' journals.

... and indeed, it is just as easy to post using centericq. It even stores my outgoing entry when I quit the program. Lots of behaviours follow the principle-of-least surprise, and I really like the simple interface.

So, then, why did I bother changing the default background on my lj page, much as, why am I writing a *second* entry?

Perhaps the answer is a contradiction of my first answer- I might have bugger all to write, after all.

It was distinctly gratifying to discover that three of the five people I put onto my friends-list immediately put me on theirs. The other two can be excused; one had never met me (I've only known of him through my partner, d, though I'm sure I'd like him if we ever meet). And the other person is, I understand, pretty darn busy.

So, you'll excuse me while I go and fill in some more of my profile, and go see if I can find other friends of mine around lj.
