How hard is it to update the display of an RSS feed? LiveJournal has been blowing this for nearly a week now. (This, of course, being the second time they've blown it in the last month.) I primarily use LiveJournal as my RSS reader since none of us actually write anything here any more. My daily stories haven't updated since the 22nd of October and the more irregular publishing locations are harder to tell. I'm an inch from giving up on it altogether as my support request to LiveJournal has gone completely untouched for four days.

I know that many, many, many other people have complained about the downward spiral LiveJournal has been in for the last several years, and I'm offering nothing new. I just need to vent. This is ridiculous.

A friend just asked me if I worked for an online company called NetVibes. When I told her that I do not work for them, and then inquired as to why she was asking, she suggested I was pulling her leg. After all, look at the picture of their developer on the bottom row, third from the left.

It's uncanny enough that I've had to reach out to them and ask for further pictures of this developer. Cause that's just weird.

Let's say that you've decided to organize your DVD's alphabetically based on their titles. Let's also say that one of the items in your collection is an 8 disc collection of Mel Brooks movies brought together in a single box titled "The Mel Brooks Collection". How would you handle that? Would you break out the individual films, placing them in their correct locations, thus discarding the box and its signification of the box set? Would you place it in the M's? Or, perhaps, some other solution?

A fascinating conversation ensued last night, wherein my wife and I debated the name of the can of aerosol "cheese". It resulted in us calling a family member and their respective spouse to hear their answers, and we found that the answer is split pretty evenly 50/50 with no regard to gender or family history.

So, here's your chance to answer the question. I wish I could randomize the answer order.
