Six-Apart / LiveJournal data mining YOUR data...

[confliction]

...You may not have heard that the usually lovely people behind all of this useful blogging environment are planning to data mine our data. It looks innocent enough, but can we be too careful? I've opted myself and the communities i manage out of the scheme. That's right... you have to opt out... or else you're automatically opted in. Like U.S. school kids and their military. Dodgy? You decide!

Original 'alert'.

To 'opt out' go here...

and enter this for your journal:

set opt_exclude_stats 1

or this for communities you run:

set for yourcommunitynamehere opt_exclude_stats 1

Thank you for listening to this service announcement!

well, this one wasn't particularly funny. i'm not going to put the rest of my life on hold for this work. it will become a tool for expressing every facet of myself... so i hope. i look forward to the extent of your humour :)

i'm looking forward to the weekend. it's a time where i can really get my head down in peace and quiet while everyone else goes out to partay. i'm a little sad like that. i've got so many more ideas to put down on paper. tomorrow i'm off to print a bunch of stuff off to appendix 'the plan'. i've done a bit of research here and there this week. looked through 50+ pages of google results for a start. i'm keen to look through another 50 this weekend. there are some gems to be found!

sorry for the venomous reply... it was the only one that came to mind. i hope you have some luck in your efforts! try and relax a bit to help reduce to headaches. you'll get something you'll enjoy soon enough!

it's autumn... or fall. seeds are to be planted! spring time will be very interesting indeed... flowers and their amber nectar ;)

success entails waking up and humping the problem, humping it mid-day, and proceeding to hump through the evening.
