A Long-Expected Party

Yes, folks, it's my eleventy-first LiveJournal entry!

Firstly: Eleventy-one posts is too short a time to spend among such excellent and admirable LiveJournalists. I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve. (No, I can't figure out if that's a compliment either.)

Secondly: I've heard news that Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is due out on DVD on the 11th of April (UK and US). Allegedly includes 19 additional/extended scenes, interviews with Dan, Rupert, Emma, JKR and Steve Kloves, plus other gubbins.

Thirdly: I would like to make an ANNOUNCEMENT. This is the END. I am going. I am leaving NOW. GOODBYE!

Update: At Rivendell. Elrond has gigabit wireless networking and more Internet bandwidth than the whole of AOL. Ruddy elves always get the best kit. I guess this means I can keep posting, though...

Thanks for the reminder. I did actually grab the images this morning, but didn't have time to put them up on the site and work was pretty hectic today. All up and working now. Also discovered more infelicities with table rendering - I have yet to find a single browser that gets it right and already had several hacks in to get both IE and Netscape working. Safari, however, didn't. Further hackery to give sizes to every cell seems to have done the trick. Bleh.

Jumping on further, when did you get a Permanent Account? It's just that I didn't recognise the usericon and wondered whether you had got a permanent account to take you up from ten possible usericons to fifteen - lo and behold, you had. Very nice.

How many syndication points do you get with a Permanent Account, come to think of it? You get ten with an ordinary paid account and I have used close to eight of 'em in the past. Enough people are taking costikyan and others so that I'm now back down under seven. Theoretically if I pimped the other syndicated feeds on syn_promo (I think that's what it's called?) then I might get other people to sign up and lower my pointage.

I have a vague feeling (hope!) that there may be other ways to get more usericons and syndication points apart from a permanent account semi-soonish, though.

Just the other day after they plugged them on news. According to this page, you get 30 units of syndication. You also get to generate 5 invite codes per month - useful if you need to artificially boost your "friend of" list ;-) Oh, and there's the thing where you never have to pay again.
