I am the Kat that Walks By Itself

I got the server up and running, though in such a state that all the software needs to be installed and configured. To that end, I have got the mail working on it, whew. This was the more difficult of the two main tasks (mail and webserver), simply because I have more practice at setting up webservers than mailservers. But also the more urgent task, since I don't like being incommunicado.

And it's ten o'clock at night and I'd better stop. So the webserver will be off the air for a few more days, because I doubt I will have time to work on it until Wednesday.

(sigh)

This morning, I trundled into my shower as usual... and it wasn't until I'd already almost finished that I noticed I had a visitor, because, well, it was kind of hidden by the towel hanging over the side of the shower cubicle.

So, temeres, what do you think?

I did not do the things today that I intended to do. I did not do my washing (though I did pack and run the dishwasher). I did not write fic. I did not watch Doctor Who. Instead, I updated tags and character-lists in my netfic-reviews database, investigated bookmarking software and firefox plugins, set up a WebDAV server to sync my bookmarks to, and reorganized my bookmarks. I did stuff, but none of it was important stuff. (sigh)

Why do I procrastinate?

Zazzle, in their "wisdom" have removed every single one of my designs for "content violation". Even my "I'll explain later" shirt, which doesn't even contain illos. Apparently (according to their form letter) "Design contains an image or text that infringes on intellectual property rights. We have been contacted by the intellectual property right holder and at their request we will be removing your product from Zazzle???s Marketplace due to intellectual property claims"

WHAT?

Someone can have multiple designs which say "BOB is a sacred name" and I can't have one that says "I'll explain later"?

I suspect it's because I tagged it with the phrase "doctor who". Colour me confused, considering that redbubble has a completely different attitude to things like that - they even have a Doctor Who themed "community" on their site.

So, sorry everyone, you can't buy t-shirts from me, because they've removed them all.

Sh*t.

ETA: What is so completely unfair is that there are other people on zazzle who have Doctor-Who themed things, which are tagged as "doctor who" and they haven't been attacked. The "BOB is a sacred name" is tagged with "doctor who", and "This is a detonator" is tagged with "doctor who", and I think I even saw one with a Dalek on it (but I can't find it now). NOT FAIR!

This is Melbourne for you: it's December, it's Summer... and right now my roof is being battered by hail.

Howdy, friends and strangers!

This is my intro post. I figured I'd better have one.

This journal is a mix of fannish stuff, ponderings, computer geekery, art and random cookery experiments. More personal posts are friends-locked, some with tighter filters than others.

If you have friended/subscribed to me, I would appreciate it if you drop me a comment here, saying hello and what brought you here.

There I was, looking at the official election website to see where my closest polling station was for tomorrow, and checking who is on the ballot.

I have just discovered the existence of the Australian Sex Party.

I hate asking people to write me fic, because nobody ever does. And yet, if one doesn't ask, nobody ever will. So I humbly request that over the next couple of weeks, people write me fic. I've got a lovely novel that I'm reading right now ("Mouse and Dragon") which is nicely distracting, but I know I will be in need of further distraction in the coming days and weeks. So no need for insta-fic, but some nice juicy fic would be nice.
Fic recs would not go astray either.

As for my fandoms, see my interests, or probably more helpful, the list of universes on my Net-fic Reviews page. Eclectic fandom love is eclectic.

I appear to have strained my wrist. 8-( No writing for me today. 8-(
And no GIMP-ing either. Sorry, yvi, I won't be putting another entry in. 8-(

I did stuff today. And actually managed to do some listed stuff.
