Woo, there is both internet and my computer, in once place! Naturally, that place is not my apartment, despite the epic quest the AT&T guy and I went on this weekend to attempt to combine the two, but it does have tea and is next-door to the laundromat, so I can't really complain.

It has so far been a lovely weekend. I made another batch of the jalapeño-cheddar scones that made me famous on the January brunch circuit, I watched copious quantities of White Collar with

damned_colonial, I met my wee cousin's girlfriend. [Incidentally, what is the statute of limitations for referring to one's cousin as "wee"? He is no longer a minor, but he is only an inch or two taller than me, which I think means I can call him my wee cousin for the rest of our lives. Right?]

Today's task to help me procrastinate on applying to law school is: finally doing a run of moving my flist over to Dreamwidth from LJ. Because really, it's late enough in the stage of things that "writing primarily on DW, reading primarily on LJ" is not a good solution any more.

I do have one question for those who have already completed the move: when I read my flist on LJ, the crossposter's footer means I can easily read all the comments on both versions of the post. Is there an equivalent way to get to comments in other journals in DW? Until that happens, I can't get started on the de-duping process.

Edited to add: if you are clicking over to say, "Who is this

epershand and why has she started following me?" then the answer is, "Hi, this is

I do have one question for those who have already completed the move: when I read my flist on LJ, the crossposter's footer means I can easily read all the comments on both versions of the post. Is there an equivalent way to get to comments in other journals in DW? Until that happens, I can't get started on the de-duping process. Ugh, there isn't, and I don't know why there isn't! I should submit a bug report, but I think the issue is on LJ's end and there isn't a lot to do about it. It makes me really sad that this is the case, though.

It's a much harder technical solution than doing it the other way 'round, but I can't shake the feeling I'll be missing half the conversation if I move my primary reading page over here.

But given that the crossposter already has the feature of sending you an inbox message including a link to the LJ entry, it seems pretty trivial to modify the DW entry to include it. I guess it's time for me to go peruse the DW ideas list while I sort this into a more coherent form.

It's not a moment too soon to move, now that DW has finally implemented the whole reading-other-journals-on-DW thing. ^_^ I'll wait for you to beta-test it first, though. ^_~

Fear not, I'll let you know how it goes.
