LiveJournal Broken?

While I do all my post­ing here at Cof­fee­Bear, I do have some friends who stick with using Live­Jour­nal (some of them have real blogs too). For those of us liv­ing in both worlds, we tend to use Word­Press with the Live­Jour­nal Cross­poster plu­gin. I help one of those friends by main­tain­ing her web­site and yes­ter­day she reported that the cross­post­ing had stopped work­ing. I updated the plu­gin, tested cross­post­ing via my devblog and it worked fine. Unfor­tu­nately, she’s still hav­ing prob­lems. So I’m try­ing to cross­post from my real blog this time to see if I can recre­ate her error.

Fortune Cookie Wisdom

I like the lit­tle for­tune cook­ies you get when you eat Chi­nese food. I also tend to tuck the for­tunes into my wal­let. Today I’m going to type up all my saved for­tunes for your read­ing pleasure.

  • Your joy­ful­ness will pro­long your days.”
  • You will spend your old age sur­rounded by com­fort and wealth.”
  • Your favor will be granted.”
  • Cre­ativ­ity is your ace in the hole.”
  • Con­fu­sius says: to err is human.  To rub it in, is divine.”
  • Pleas­ant sur­round­ings and a happy time await you.”
  • One Who Never Asks Either Knows Every­thing Or Nothing.”
  • You have a rep­u­ta­tion for being reli­able and trustworthy.”
  • You change the world with each thought, word and action.”
  • Good Judg­ment Comes From Expe­ri­ence.  Expe­ri­ence Comes From Bad Judgment.”

The best for­tune I ever got from a cookie is one I doubt I’ll ever for­get.  In part because I was hav­ing lunch with my mother and she got the exact same fortune.

  • You will do well at the race track.”

How about you Intar­webs?  Got any good bits of for­tune cookie wis­dom to brighten my day with?

Craptastic Morning

Broken Windshield on my car

Look at what fun some­body had dur­ing the night.  Yup, that’s how I found my car when I walked out­side this morn­ing to go to work.  When I first saw the dam­age, I was sleepy enough to think I had frost on my win­dow and I’d have to scrap it.  But before I could even start think­ing about how odd that was I’d got­ten close enough to real­ize it wasn’t frost on the win­dow.  *sigh*
