Unfortunately, rather than record another take on "Guilty Pleasures", I ended up getting sucked in to another LJ design trainwreck, (more at the link) this one having to do with revisions to the "update journal" page. This is supposed to be the basic, last-resort, guaranteed-to-work way of updating your LJ. And they broke it. It's prettier now, but some features don't work if you don't have JavaScript enabled! I should know better than to get sucked in to one of these flamefests, but I seem to have been the first one to discover -- or at least to mention -- the Javascript problem. So I guess I've done something of value.

Looking at some of these designers' userpics you can see the problem: they're young. Inexperienced. Arrogant. They think they're hot stuff because they graduated from a program in "web design". Whee. They'll learn, eventually, but meanwhile they'll make life miserable for us old curmudgeons who don't count because we're not in LJ's target demographic.

I need to stop going off on these tangents, amusing though they are, and get some work done. Tomorrow: turn in my sales tax account application, and hack some more on TiddlyWiki. That, at least, will be fun.
