blogger
It seems that blogger is crappy. While it seems to be what most people pick for writing technical blogs, I think I prefer livejournal's simpler posting interface. Mainly because it *actually works* in konqueror
In other news (Dance related) I don't think I was dancing very well yesterday. I was kinda idling boringly, while planning overly complicated moves that I couldn't lead properly. I should also remember to always shave before dancing, as I don't think I was looking too respectable last night.
I was reading a couple of posts on http://www.yehoodi.com/phpBB2/ this morning, and apparently (as in general consensus among follows worldwide), it's more fun to follow if the lead does mostly the simple basic moves and does them with variations in style that fit the music, listening for what the follow is doing all the time. That way, the follow can add her own flare as well. I should really do that more. There was also the comment that it's nice when a lead dances moves that have recently been taught in classes, but that seemed to be only a minority request.
I will have to go in search of London based swing communities for when I go home, I think.
Also: Linux day in the JCR on 16th. All welcome. Dunno what will happen, but we may have a gigabit switch and super-twin-aerials wifi router courtesy of my dad (he's sending them up here so I can test them out, because he knows I will only be staying here for a few more days after the end of term
