Sharing more unknown things about me and myself, "Moon river" is one of my favourite songs :3
I like all the different versions, but this is my favourite one:




Also, I like to watch "Breakfast at Tiffany's" in rainy days xDDDD. Some weeks ago I could finally read the book (it was always taken at the library T^T) and, for the first time in my life, I like the movie version more than the original book! xDDDD.


The empire strikes back

In recent weeks, we've taken huge steps towards blocking spam accounts on LiveJournal. In fact, we've suspended as many as 30,000 accounts in a single day! We've implemented several pre-emptive measures to prevent the creation of spam accounts, and we've honed our detection of suspicious content. Spam bots are a crafty lot, so we'll continue to refine our tactics and keep up the good fight to keep you safe from spam attacks on LiveJournal.

RSS feeds again

If you're addicted to [info]xkcd_rss, [info]icanhaschzbrgr, or other syndicated feeds, we're pleased to report that we've resolved the update error that was mucking up your RSS feeds. While content was being pulled correctly, it wasn't being posted to the feeds themselves. Late last week, we finally nailed down what we hope was the root problem, so content should post properly. We thank you for your patience.

Entries will be judged on composition and originality. Sorry, but you must be a U.S. resident and over 18 years old to participate. Check out the rules here.

Enveloped in postcards

Last week, we asked you to send in postcards to help us decorate our drab concrete walls. Here's a photo of the results so far! Thank you so much and please keep them coming! You can mail them to Frank the Goat, Esq., c/o LiveJournal, Inc., 539 Bryant Street, Suite 210, San Francisco, CA 94107.

Como ya se lo he visto a [info]o_nekoi_o y [info]kotoko_sp y soy de las de culo veo, culo quiero, pues...

Uno.
Haz una entrada (abierta, FO, filtrada... lo que te venga mejor) en tu LJ. El post debe contener una lista de 10 Deseos de Navidad. Los deseos pueden ser cualquier cosa, desde algo sencillo y relacionado con el fandom ("Me gustaría un icono Ron/Hermione que sea sólo para mi."), algo intermedio ("me gustaría el DVD de - - ") a algo realmente gordo ("pues para Navidad quiero un coche nuevo/portátil/casa/tele", "un viaje a las Seychelles"...)... Lo más importante es que estés segura/o de que son las cosas que de verdad quieres.
Si lo que deseas son cosas "reales" (no historias o iconos), asegúrate de que incluyes alguna forma de contacto en tu post, ya sea tu dirección postal o un email donde los Reyes (o sus pajes) pueden ponerse en contacto contigo.

Dos.
Entra en la f-list (o en la f-lists de tu f-list) para ver si alguien ha publicado esta entrada. Y lo más importante:
Si ves un deseo que sabes que puedes conceder y tienes toda la intención, haz que se cumpla ese deseo a esa persona.


Ea =3.

A ver, por ejemplo:

1. Una postal de vuestra ciudad/pais/barrio/casa/habitación xD
2. Un christmas "yamapi-nesco" xDD
3. Un header nuevo
4. Un fanart de lo que sea =)

Con cualquiera de esas cosas me conformo xDDDDDDDD (si alguien quiere hacerlo, claro =3). Si poneis vuestras listas yo también os mandaré algo ^^!
Pues nada, interesados, email al canto y os mando mi dirección =)

"Mezanyu" (3 Nov, 2009) Jin-less KAT-TUN = LANDS
Length: 1 min 45 secs
Size: 6 MB
Starring: Akanishi Jin (KAT-TUN), Kitano Kii (actress)
Note: I mis-labeled this as "Mezamashi TV" but I think it's the "Mezanyu" clip. I was getting confused with too many similar clips all at once!
Highlights: Jin is asked how LANDS is similar to KAT-TUN and he struggles to think of anything to say. He also pressures his co-star girl to say something nice when she's asked what she thinks of him.

"Zoom In" (3 Nov, 2009) Jin wants KAT-TUN's money
Length: 47 secs
Size: 3 MB
Starring: Akanishi Jin (KAT-TUN)
Highlights: Jin is asked if he wants the other KAT-TUN members to go and watch his movie. It's nice to see Jin is back to showing his lovely sense of humor which always disappears when he's with the rest of the KAT-TUN members.

Size: 83 MB
Starring: KinKi Kids, Tatsuya-kun & Mayuminu (young boy & lady), Tamori
Highlights: A little boy likes KinKi Kids - or maybe he just likes Tsuyoshi...! KinKi confuse the poor kid by telling him to keep working hard as part of KinKi Kids and to take "sing good~ good~" medicine & gargle through your nose!

"Music Station" (23 Oct, 2009) KinKi Kids talk & "Swan Song"
Length: 7 mins 58 secs
Size: 69 MB
Starring: KinKi Kids, Tamori
Highlights: There's more talk about Koichi's dog because it seems to be the only topic that he is capable of talking about these days. Koichi also talks about the earpieces that he wears and why he doesn't recommend them for private use. There's a part in the song where they turn and face each other as they sing. Tsuyoshi does the fanservice well during this part by gazing into Koichi's eyes, while Koichi looks everywhere except at Tsuyoshi!

Since this is a new offically released DVD, I will release a hardsubbed version in December. That gives time for people to buy the DVD if they want to, and also hopefully will prevent anyone getting in trouble for illegally ripping & sharing JE things. Please do respect my wishes & the lovely people who kindly share raw videos and DON'T HARDSUB USING MY SOFTSUB FILES! Thank you.

EDIT: If you're reading this, our maintenance is OVER! The problem was not found on our equipment, which means we'll have to work with our ISP to fix this small problem -- which also means another maintenance window in the future -- but at least we have eliminated our side.

Thank you everyone, and a special shout out to [info]rekoil for giving me a great suggestion AND also the opportunity to feel like I've just called in to a local radio station.

Have a great day, night or afternoon wherever you may be.

Hi everyone, sorry for the late notice but I'm going to have to do some testing on 1 of our 4 internet circuits TONIGHT; Friday night or Saturday morning depending on which time zone you're in.

Most of us shouldn't notice any impact, though there may be some slowness or lag when I switch traffic on to our other ISP circuits and then another hit when I stop the tests. If a page won't load or times out, try hitting refresh 1 or 2 times and it should load then. If it doesn't work at all... trust me, I'll be typing really really really fast to try to undo whatever I just did. Hopefully you'll have some Halloween candy (if you're in the USA and celebrate that kind of thing) nearby to take away the bitterness of a small site outage. :(

Here's the handy-dandy Website That I Always Use to get a feel for when the maintenance will start in your area. Our site traffic historically dips on Friday afternoons until Saturday morning which is why we tend to pick this time for maintenance work.

tech details )

status.livejournal.org will, of course be updated before and after the maintenance window. Or else [info]marta will get mad at me. :D

I've finally watched Yamapi's new pv! =D!!! He looks hot, but I still want him to change his hair xDDD
And OK, I understand it's a sad song, but... oh god, another video without a single smile!!!! I mean, I understand that the producers, the company, whatever, want him to have a "cool image", but he always looks so serious... even in the magazines' pics!!! T___T!!!

Seriously, I hope he can show his funny side in a new job soon =.=

In response to user comments from last week, we want to let you know that we'll remain LJ cut-free for the next month in order to get more eyeballs on our evolving newsletter. As for product coverage, that continues to be our top priority. For more granular detail, however, we recommend you join [info]lj_releases.

Super-tweak for Yandex search

Some of our beta testers expressed privacy concerns using the Yandex search engine. Here's why: Last week, when you ran a search, you could see the usernames (and only the usernames) of everyone who commented on an entry, even if that entry was switched to Private or Friends Only after it was originally indexed. You could NOT see the actual comments from Friends Only or Private posts. In response to your input, we've implemented a fix to keep all user activity currently marked Friends Only or Private completely hidden. If you'd prefer your public content not to be indexed by Yandex, click here and use the settings labeled Search Inclusion (this covers your entire journal) and/or Comment Search Inclusion (which covers comments only). To test drive Yandex search now, click here.

Postcards from the edge

Several years ago, we asked LiveJournal users to send postcards to help us decorate our dull, white-washed offices. Since a good idea warrants repetition, we're at it again (same issue, new address). We hope you'll surround us with LiveJournal love by sending your postcards to Frank the Goat, Esq., c/o LiveJournal, Inc., 539 Bryant Street, Suite 210, San Francisco, CA 94107. We'll post snapshots right here. Be sure to include your username, since we'll randomly pick 10 lucky recipients to win free paid account time.

Conquer Writer's Block

Here are some excerpts from this week's most popular question of the day:

If a friend or relative makes a racist or homophobic remark, do you tend to confront them or let it slide? Are you more likely to confront them if it offends you directly or someone else who seems reluctant to speak up?
  1. I find it easier to stand up for other people, and i wouldn't let it slide if they made a rude or hurtful comment.
  2. Usually if a friend makes a racist or homophobic remark, I tend to let it slide. I think that while i would not say such things myself, I have no right to censor those around me.
  3. This happens all of the time. I confront some relatives, but I refuse to if they are drunk or watch Fox News.
  4. I'd let it slide if it was just a private remark... As much as I despise bigotry and intolerance, I know that you can't change people-they have to change themselves ...
  5. Confront! confront! confront! Politely, but without equivocation.
  6. SPEAK UP. Always, always, always speak up. Letting something slide lets ignorance win. No matter if it offends me directly, or someone else, I will confront the speaker and let them know that's not ok.
  7. I don't get offended personally. As an immigrant, woman, gay and person of color if I took every single potentially offensive remark seriously I wouldn't get anything done.
  8. I punch them in the balls. With my mind.
  9. I do speak up, but often very timidly because I feel that I'm white and therefore I don't really have any authority to lecture someone on what's racist and what isn't...
  10. Generally speaking, I do not let this shit fly, because it reduces me as a person, to this non-person and it replicates the destructive discourse that makes sure that sexual minorities, racial minorities, women, people with disabilities, trans people and every intersection thereof into something other than human... And sometimes... I'm just too tired to deal with it, so I roll my eyes, make a sarcastic remark and hope the conversation moves on quickly.

Length: 49 secs
Size: 8 MB
Starring: Yamashita Tomohisa
Thanks to:  A very kind person for the raw file :-D
Highlights: Isn't it rather funny how the title of this clip could mean something totally different if "Loveless" was written with a little "l" instead of a capital "L"?! As Yamapi would say, Sugee~! (Wow~!)

Thanks to: luckystar-chan for a link to the raw file

Johnnys Sports Day 2001 *In progress*

  • Oct. 28th, 2009 at 9:06 PM

                         * In progress *

"Johnnys Sports Day" (2001) Part 1 of 2

Length: 51 mins 59 secs
Size: 267 MB <-- Not amazing quality & in wmv format (so that I don't have to upload the 841 MB avi file!!)
Starring: Arashi, KinKi Kids, V6, TOKIO, Tackey & Tsubasa, Johnnys Jr. (Yamapi, Ryo, Yokoyama, Ikuta Toma, Hasegawa Jun, Toshin Yoshikazu, probably others that I didn't notice)
Highlights: Arashi's Sakurai seems much better at sports things at this age than what he pretends to be these days. TOKIO battle it out for title of No.1 Speedster in Johnnys (although Yamapi also tries hard). KinKi are involved in a random flag finding, clue solving orienteering, 3-legged race contest (!?) with Sakurai & Matsuoka. And many of Johnnys fail at having good balance during a huge sponge dominoes crossing contest.

Length: Length: 52 mins 2 secs

**** Ongoing project that I won't have time to work more on until mid to late November probably, so I'll post up what I've done while I have time to upload it. I'm locking replies at the moment so that I don't feel the urge to throttle Arashi fans' replies of "What about the other parts?" As my mother always says, "Good things come to those who wait" so please be patient.
