I didnt see anything about a 2 GB limit, but why risk it? I have few enough pics that I will just copy them off, even though I'm pretty sure I have them elsewhere.

UPDATE: http://lj-releases.livejournal.com/74035.html
Will I still have the same amount of storage space for my images?

Yes, all account levels will retain the same storage space levels as before, including if you've purchased the extra storage space add-on. These levels are not being reduced."

Back to the original rant:

I have never actually used the LJ "scrapbook" feature, but I figured a lot of you might (Spooky does), so I'm reposting this. Note that LJ could not be fucking bothered to offer an English translation of the Russian announcement:

Point of reference, this is IMO something I think is worth getting upset over, rather than silly design changes.

Alright, I am not drunk enough to deal with this, so I'm just going to put out this PSA:

Livejournal Scrapbook is going away. Your 10GB of Paid Member space is now 2GB. If you care, there is an explanation in Russian on the Russian news page. There's also a user-submitted translation.

+ You will no longer have access to your Scrapbook once this goes live.
+ Your images will redirect, but the URL will be different.
+ Unable to tell what will happen to any photos you have that put you over the 2GB limit.
+ Back up your Scrapbook just in case.
+ If you want your photos transferred over now instead of waiting, let them know here.

If you have SkyDrive (Microsoft) you need to log in over at www.live.com and reserve your free 25GB. Microsoft is changing the default free space to 7GB, but existing users can save their 25GB of free space.

All of December is a holiday, mostly because of Christmas, but also because of my birthday (20th) and my father's birthday (31st).

Bring your own Birthday, indeed.

Which December holidays do you celebrate, and why?

Dog movies and stories like Where the Red Fern Grows or Old Yeller.

Which movie always makes you cry?

No ism will work by itself, unregulated.

For example, read this to understand why unregulated capitalism is bad:

I need to go to Walgreens and get some...er..thing.
I needed to get fuel.
It takes me an hour to get to work.
Work starts at 8.

So I left 45 minutes early.
Went by the closest Walgreens. They open at 7 AM. It's only a little after 6:30 at that moment.
I get my fuel.
I head towards work and an intersection is blocked because some idiots can't drive and one plowed into another so there are fire trucks and police. I go an alternate way, but it takes a bit longer.
I get near work a bit over 20 minutes early. I swing over to the nearby restaurant row/shopping area. Hey, there's a Walgreens.

This one doesn't open until 8 AM.

So I got to work early and now I'm taking a short break to type up this and to say,

NOT COOL WALGREENS.

Now I have to take up part of my lunch break to get stuff.

Got up really early this morning. Planned to get to the Plano Balloon Festival when they opened so I could see The Glow, which I am assuming is the thing they do where they inflate the balloons while it's still kinda dark.
I have no interest in any other part of the festival.

The wife checked the webpage to see if it said anything about the weather. It didn't.

(you know what's gonna happen, right?)

So we drove for an HOUR, half that on a TOLL ROAD, paid for parking, paid for tickets, found what ought to be a good spot, and they announce there won't be a Glow because it's too windy.

Of course.

I almost decided to leave right then. But no, I guess I'll wait until they take off.
