Notes augmented

We've enhanced and de-bugged Notes. If you haven't tried it yet, now's the time! You can create a private note when you ban multiple users. You can also delete multiple notes at once. Lastly, paid users have the option to add a note (visible only to you) whenever you add or remove a friend (guaranteed to avoid embarrassing social mishaps). If you don't currently have a paid account, you can upgrade now! It only takes a few minutes and costs less than a bad shopping mall haircut (plus, it's way more fashionable)!

Product tweaks and bug kill

1. In another effort to zap spam, comments containing links from domains LiveJournal deems untrustworthy are now automatically screened
2. If you sign up to get notifications of the Writer's Block question of the day, you'll now see the daily question in the email notification, so you'll have a little extra time to ponder before you post. You can subscribe to Writers Block notifications here
3. The issue causing random comments to vanish has been fixed!
4. If you visit a LiveJournal page and get prompted to log in, you'll be returned to the same page after you sign in (Thanks, Dreamwidth)!
5. If you don't edit the timestamp for an entry at all, the entry timestamp will indicate the time the entry was posted instead of the time the Update Journal page was loaded
6. Comments with paddings/backgrounds render correctly within the comment box (and will no longer wrap outside the box and break frames/margins)

New FCK fixes rich text editor!

1. We've updated our RTE (Rich Text Editor) to FCKeditor version 2.6.5
2. When switching from the RTE to HTML editor, links for syndicated feeds are no longer broken
3. RTE now functions properly in Safari 4.0
4. An extra line/space will not be auto-inserted whenever you switch from RTE to HTML editor
5. The insert image link now works correctly in all browsers

LiveJournal Cares

We’re pleased to introduce you to lj_cares, a new LiveJournal community dedicated to raising awareness and funds for U.S. charitable organizations that improve the health and well-being of people around the world. Each month, we’ll spotlight a nonprofit that is making a significant global impact through medical research, public outreach, and/or humanitarian social programs. Charities will be selected in accordance with the U.S. calendar of national health observances based on a high rating (of over 60%) on Charity Navigator and global scope of impact.

In this, our inaugural month of November, we will celebrate national adoption month by offering a charitable virtual gift (priced at $2.99) to support Love Without Boundaries, an organization that saves the lives of orphans with life-threatening diseases and places them in loving homes around the world. LiveJournal will donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale of charitable vgifts (we'll cover the cost of credit card transaction fees). To learn more about Love Without Boundaries, please visit lj_cares and read about how they helped save Baby Kang and the Rainbow Twins from fatal illnesses, who are now thriving in nurturing families. You can purchase your Love Without Boundaries gifts in the Virtual Gift shop.

Papered in postcards

A couple of weeks ago, we asked you to send in postcards to surround us with LiveJournal community. Thanks for coming through! We've received postcards all the way from Germany, Finland, and Canada and from all over the US, including Texas, Florida, Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Indiana, Hawaii, and Oklahoma just to name just a handful. We're thrilled with our improved decor.

Please keep the love coming for one more week by writing to Frank the Goat, Esq., c/o LiveJournal, Inc., 539 Bryant Street, Suite 210, San Francisco, CA 94107. Be sure to include your username, since we'll be drawing the names of ten random contributors next Thursday to win paid account credits!

Photos of the week

We have more dazzling images posted by talented LiveJournal photographers from around the world. We're hoping to span the entire globe, so please continue posting and tagging. Of course, you can also sit back and enjoy the view at lj_photophile.

You can see a sample of this week's gorgeous photos and check out spotlight communities and awesome user content after the jump!

Curtains

We thank you, once again, for joining us. See you next week!

I'm making 2 trips down!! The first one with mom cause i want to get all the souvenirs cause if i were to just make one trip down with dst alone i think me and dst will end up walking home. Hahaha!

THANKS ALLY FOR THE TIPOFF! :)
I CAN'T WAIT!

Okay since today's friday i really deserve a good break that's why i'm here. i shall not talk about my papers after watching my gossip girl i'll go study. Btw can you imagine this i actually used gossip girl as my example for GP A levels. Kid you not, bimbo much.

EDIT@08:16 UTC/GMT. Wow. That was ugly. I expected it to go for 30 minutes and have maybe 1 minute of broken connectivity. Instead it lasted over 4 hours and we had 10 minutes of downtime directly related to the load balancer upgrades and then another 5-10 minutes of downtime when our primary Pingback database server crashed and the secondary couldn't take over; which could have been indirectly caused by the network upgrade missing a self-VIP.

Anyways, we're up, we're working, the load balancers are barely breaking a sweat right now and I need some food and a shot of whiskey. I don't even *like* whiskey!!

Thanks mhwest and dnewhall for helping out!

---

On Saturday the 14th at 4AM UTC/GMT we will be upgrading the operating system of our network load balancers to a newer version, one that will allow us to use both CPUs! Nifty, because multiprocessing is nice.

Since we have 2 load balancers, the plan is to upgrade 1 at a time, and there really should be very little impact to our website. Hopefully you won't notice a thing and I'll get to go back to the hotel and watch some wonderful late night infomercials.

We've got a lot of exciting projects coming up for 2010 and we're hoping that we'll be able to deliver them all to you, that you will find it useful/cool/lovely and then you will use the site even more. Behind-the-scenes work like this will give us the capacity to handle the anticipated traffic, so expect a few more maintenance windows especially in the beginning of next year as we've got some neat ideas to improve performance around here! We had the recent 30-45 minute outage yesterday due to one of our logging databases filling up disk space -- not so great design coupled with my human error in handling the initial problem -- and it looks like we're going to finally have some resources to eliminate stuff like that. I can't wait!

As usual, I will be updating status.livejournal.org before and after, just in case you are not able to reach our main website during the work.

If you can look at the sunset and smile,
then you still have hope.

If you can find beauty in the colors of a small flower,
then you still have hope.

If you can find pleasure in the movement of a butterfly,
then you still have hope.

If the smile of a child can still warm your heart,
then you still have hope.

If you can see the good in other people,
then you still have hope.

If the rain breaking on a roof top can still lull you to
sleep, then you still have hope.

If the sight of a rainbow still makes you stop and stare in
wonder, then you still have hope.

If the soft fur of a favored pet still feels pleasant under
your fingertips, then you still have hope.

If you meet new people with a trace of excitement and
optimism, then you still have hope.

If you give people the benefit of a doubt,
then you still have hope.

If you still offer your hand in friendship to others that
have touched your life, then you still have hope.

If receiving an unexpected card or letter still brings a
pleasant surprise, then you still have hope.

If the suffering of others still fills you with pain and
frustration, then you still have hope.

If you refuse to let a friendship die, or accept that it
must end, then you still have hope.

If you look forward to a time or place of quiet and
reflection, then you still have hope.

If you still buy the ornaments, put up the Christmas tree or
cook the turkey, then you still have hope.

If you still watch love stories or want the endings to be
happy, then you still have hope.

If you can look to the past and smile,
then you still have hope.

If, when faced with the bad, when told everything is futile,
you can still look up and end the conversation with the
phrase...."yeah....BUT.." then you still have hope.

Hope is such a marvelous thing. It bends, it twists, it
sometimes hides, but rarely does it break.
It sustains us when nothing else can.
It gives us reason to continue and courage to move ahead,
when we tell ourselves we'd rather give in.

Hope puts a smile on our face when the heart cannot manage.

Hope puts our feet on the path when our eyes cannot see it.

Hope moves us to act when our souls are confused of the
direction.

Hope is a wonderful thing, something to be cherished and
nurtured, and something that will refresh us in return. And it can
be found in each of us, and it can bring light into the darkest of
places.
Never lose hope.

I love you Fel I hope youre feeling better but sorry I cant afford to buy you the burberry wallet because I am still with a brokeass.

Sunday was working at Zouk flea with Soniaaa. The first flea I attended and it was so bad but anyways I had fun working so its all good. You should have been there cause like all the badges were there and there were awesome iphone sticks!!! Shopped at town without money which sucked but we when on another food spree which isnt very good and this reminds me that I should start exercising again! I love the weekends for so many reasons.

This week is going to be so busy with settling the new apartment and buying a new bed,curtains...fun fun. Feels like a friday because I am self declaring a day off tmr so I can spend time with my dad. Long post, long days. Today's lesson was epic boring and there's like constant blackouts during lectures.

The week has been tough somehow,it takes me by surprise almost everyday. Got worse without you my friend, just glad we found our way back again. I am starting to get involve in school, I mean I am always in when everything's okay. Not much homework, school ends early, walk into class at 2 all's so good. I am not so sure about that when the big assignments come but ohwells. Weekends are mostly awesome I should be looking forward to that and plus I might be working at the Zouk flea.

Everyone has been talking all about it the whole week but the sister's keeper is really worth every cent I paid.

The empire strikes back

In recent weeks, we've taken huge steps towards blocking spam accounts on LiveJournal. In fact, we've suspended as many as 30,000 accounts in a single day! We've implemented several pre-emptive measures to prevent the creation of spam accounts, and we've honed our detection of suspicious content. Spam bots are a crafty lot, so we'll continue to refine our tactics and keep up the good fight to keep you safe from spam attacks on LiveJournal.

RSS feeds again

If you're addicted to xkcd_rss, icanhaschzbrgr, or other syndicated feeds, we're pleased to report that we've resolved the update error that was mucking up your RSS feeds. While content was being pulled correctly, it wasn't being posted to the feeds themselves. Late last week, we finally nailed down what we hope was the root problem, so content should post properly. We thank you for your patience.

yesterday night we ran in the rain and we screamed at the lightning, but despite that i think there was this unexplainable tingling feeling, tt slightslight feeling of happiness :) a little skip here a little skip there. and then i curled up on my bed before i could spell out my happiness. still in awe of how much God blesses me. I'm amazed at all the favour He has upon my life, in entirety. I'm really really thankful for the people around me, groupmates or not, I always wonder how God amazingly places these nice people around me. yesterday night made me realize how happy I am to have met these new people amidst this pool of crazy dingdongs. "count your blessings" and the cold bus ride back today i realized how all these while i've just been so caught up in a whirlwind of my own insecurities and emotions. school drains out alot of my energy and im so glad the hardwork and the weekends of late have paid off, we're almost almost done. a little bit more.... for now. next few weeks would see me buried underneath books but let me rest todayy. western bacon cheezeburgerzz. im looking forward to more of tonights. :)
