Apparently there's a conspiracy afoot to make "falsifying statistics" the most common interest on LiveJournal.

To make it absolutely simple to do so, I've included this link, which will add it to your interests.

If you're in the LiveJournal talk at the LISA conference, post about it like these folks, with bonus points for gratuitous meta-posting behavior of whatever kind.

I've posted my Worldcon reports to my regular blog Dirac Angestun Gesept (aka dirac_angestun), but since many of the people I met are LiveJournal users, I figured I'd make a post for LJ with appropriate LJ-user tags, and discussing some events which were semi-private but have since been mentioned on LJ. (This also acts as a pointer to my regular blog for folks who find my LJ but don't look at my bio page.)

Think of it as the annotated NESFA Press edition, or the extended edition with Peter Jackson's commentary, or whatever.

Seen on redbird's LJ, but modified since I don't have a name for my LJ.

My journal is called _____ because _____.
My subtitle is _____ because _____.
My friends page is called _____ because _____.
My username is ____ because _____.


My blog is called Dirac Angestun Gesept because it seemed right. It's taken from Eric Frank Russell's classic SF novel Wasp, where it's the name of the Sirian Freedom Party (in Sirian, of course); it's really just James Mowry and his bag of tricks.

The subtitle "One blog against an entire planet." is of the same provenance.

My friends page is called "friends" because I am boring.

My username is ckd because they're my initials, and that's been my online identity since I got my first Unix account in 19mumblemumble, and because it wasn't taken yet.
