I'm re-posting it as part of our 'cleaning for the New Year'. :3



For those who don't know what it is, the LJ switcher is a handy add on for Mozilla Firefox which allows you to switch between journals with a simple click of the mouse. You need to have the passwords kept in the password reminder, but really? It saves a lot of trouble, especially if you have various journals that you use.

It can be found here.

There are no words to describe the idiocy of this place.

He managed to escape from my head for a brief period, and apparently I wasn't the only one affected. Doubles, opposites... they chose to separate from us and this is barely cause for commotion? You're all far too indifferent. This place has jaded you.

....

While I am giving this device my time, I imagine I should publicly welcome the young Earl. So good to have you.

Been meaning to do this for a while now. Dropping Klarth. His muse seemed to run away from me :( I'm giving the journal to kawaii_gaara, so unless she chooses to try and apply him here, please to be deleting Klarth seireiklarth1.

But my other people are still here ^_^

I'm sorry to report that I'll be dropping Chii from my characters list. Her muse left me and I don't want to keep a hold of a character someone else might want to play. So Please remove once_elda from your friends lists. Thanks Yuuko, Sakura, Rita-mun

P.S. I'm contemplating picking up someone else in her place...so if I suddenly make up my mind in the next couple of hours, i've been debating this for a while.

**FINAL EDIT Thu Dec 10 02:15:47 UTC 2009**

So there is the final update... Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything.

And finally some answers to some questions:
