http://open.salon.com/user.php?uid=30887Fri, 1 Jun 2012 05:06:26 -0400 <p>This is short simply because it points out two things...</p> <p>First, I'm quite happy to find that Open Salon will now grab posts off an RSS feed and share them here. Of course, whether Blogger's idea of a correct newsfeed matches Open Salon's remains to be seen.</p> <p>Second, I just went in for the heck of it to plug my birthdate into my profile...and discovered the counter only runs from 1900 to 1976.&nbsp; I'm really wondering what the logic is there, considering people born in '88 are legally of-age.&nbsp; (I'm going to email support about it; maybe it's just a funny glitch for my account alone that's forcing the counter to stop 1 digit below where I need it.) </p> <p>Okay, a third and final comment... In case nobody is living in the kind of "interesting times" that make things like this happen: it's painful to have a tiny moth fly into your eyeball and promptly expire. (Did I crush it with my eyelid or something?)&nbsp; Thankfully, that was a week or two ago, and I don't see any signs of permanent damage -- it was revolting, but not harmful, rather like the time I discovered little roach bits in the powdered tea mix at my ex's place AFTER I'd had a few cups... </p> http://open.salon.com/blog/xyzzyavatar/2010/05/17/short_wtfhttp://open.salon.com/blog/xyzzyavatar/2010/05/17/short_wtfMon, 17 May 2010 22:05:24 -0400
