Other things to like about DreamWidth

There's a lot to like about DreamWidth, and it's not all in the implementation.

Just watch Latest Things for a while and you'll see some pretty sweet photography coming from Russia and the surrounding area. Looking at the landscape shots it seems like Russia and BC have a lot in common. I haven't used TinEye on the photos or tried to translate any of the text yet, but I'm working with the assumption that the photos are original, and not just copied conversation pieces for the text.

I'm also a fan of the Guiding Principles and Diversity Statement. It's nice to have those written down and posted for all to see. Good work, folks.

Restful weekends

I've been trying to do more coding on the weekends, and I now think this is a mistake. Weekends need to be for resting and just doing whatever, not for trying to cram in whatever I don't get time to do during the week. I nuked the Yabba repo -- nothing of value there, and it'll never get used now that I'm on DW.

The doglet got fed wheat crackers a couple of days ago and now she has a patch of irritated skin on her tummy. This makes three times in the last several months she's gotten her paws on something with gluten and three times her body's reacted in exactly the same way. At least we know for sure what's causing it now.

Went to Sushi Katsu (or is it Katsu Sushi? It's not a name that makes much sense, anyway) for dinner tonight. It's the only sushi place I've found that keeps gluten-free soy sauce on hand, so they get a great big gold star. The food was good, as usual, and the place was hoppin' busy. Given that I eat sushi five days per week at work you'd think I'd be bored of it come the weekend, but fortunately that's not the case.

No bites on the positive-attitude-LGBTQ queries here or on Twitter. Not surprising, I guess. So many communities are so slanted towards the LG end of things so it'd be interesting to find one that leaned toward the BTQ end.
