Boredom... and cleaning out the Semagic folder

Since I'm bored I've decided to dick around with Semagic some. First off, the new client is extremely snazzy. For example, it will now post your images for you to the picture server of your choice. That's very handy and saves me like 5 in-between steps. All it takes is for me to be logged into my Photobucket account. Otherwise it'll prompt an error. Oooh and you can paste screenies directly from clipboard. Gotta test that. Also very spiffy. The usernames are finally listed in alphabetical order in the drop-down menu and not Z to A. Is that some sort of Russian thing? O.o; The general layout is a lot better. The autosave for drafts is more comfortable and it won't just kill your deeply insightful entry with random crap when you've accidentally typed something else in your previous draft but instead saves various drafts for you. You can update your tags and userpics immediately without needing to log out of the client. More web accessability. In-built poll creator... Lots of other snazzy stuff I can't think of right now.

Now... what would be UBERspiffy one day is if Semagic had some sort of back-up function eventually where you could conventiently save a copy of your LJ to your hard drive. I live in constant fear of LJ going broke or having a mega headcrash or being bombed or whatever and ending up losing all their info. So I'd love to be able to just back it all up. I know that LJ has some back-up function too but at least last time I checked it it was totally teh lame. Like, it saved it all in some weird table format, just text, no layout, subject lines, moods, settings, anyhting. Dunno of they improved that by now, but it'd be good to practically save an "as is" copy regularily. Also, you'd see how your LJ looked at a particular time then etc. Yeah, that'd be awesome! *does Mad Boromir impression*

Anyway, since I've also started dicking around with the tab order (I've finally changed it so that it starts with the subject line like it used to. Ever since it stopped doing that I also stopped giving titles to most of my posts which is annoying and not very helpful. I still can't figure out how to influence the tab order though. I don't see why it jumps from Mood to Security Level to Auto-Form and THEN to Music. Very odd, but I can live with that I guess, anyway) I've gone through my Semagic folder and noticed a shitload of drafts I've saved for later use. Now I have no clue whether I've actually posted them or not. So, I'll go through them and post them all now. Just so you guys know in case I end up posting something that seems eerily familiar, 'kay?

Okay, cat screaming down the house -.-. Brb.

(no subject)

Heh... I've got a mail in my inbox that has as subject "SUPERB INTERNET INVOICE"! Oh yeah, gotta open that right away! -.- *deletes spam*

Day of Spam?

Hahaha, okay, today is a weird day for spam. First I got this Heh... I've got a mail in my inbox that had as subject "SUPERB INTERNET INVOICE" and now I find a message be one Ilse Musante with the subject "Re: I owly". My first thought was "OMG the O RLY owl is sending out spam now!!!!!!!!!!!111" XD;;;

Apparently Jackson is just as cool as I thought

Jackson Signs Without Reading Script

Pulp Fiction star Samuel L. Jackson was so amused by the title of new movie Snakes On A Plane, he signed up without reading the script. The movie features an assassin who intends to kill a passenger on a flight by releasing a batch of deadly snakes. Jackson explains, "I didn't even read the script - I just saw the title, 'Snakes on a Plane' and said 'Ok, good. I'm there.' You have got to love that. That's exactly what it is - 500 poisonous snakes released on a flight from Hawaii to Los Angeles. They are (set free) on a time release half-way there, so we can't go back, we've got to keep going. It's fun!"

I remember when that movie was announced for the first time... maybe a year ago or so. I think it was even somewhere around April 1st *g*. Anyway, nobody believed it. Everybody was like "This has got to be a joke!" But then the movie stayed listed, there were more reports about it, a release date was named, a trailer released... And then everybody realized, "OMG it's not a joke! O.O;;;" Then the voices were raised, "Uhm... what were they smoking when they thought of that title???" and general ridicule and mockery ensued, vastly directed at Samuel L. Jackson for signing up for such a stupid movie. So, reading this newsbit really amuses and pleases me, because apparently Jackson was very much aware of how dumb the movie is and he just did it "for the lulz". Cool guy.
