Why am i not surprised? To be completely fair, though, this quiz was so stilted by the answers for the questions it asked that the results were never in doubt.

Lyric of the moment:
From a barque in the harbour I went roaming on shore
And stepped into a pub where I was oft times before
And as I was sitting and enjoying my glass
Who chanced to walk in but a young Spanish lass

She sat down beside me and kept squeezing my hand
Saying 'Sir you're a stranger not long to this land'
Will you roam, Johnny Sailor, would you roam along with me
To some lonesome spot where nobody can see

'Don't you leave me Johnny Sailor' were the words she did cry
Waving and weeping and wiping her eyes
When you reach home in your own Newfoundland
Think of the young Spaniard who kept squeezing your hand.

Formatting Comments to follow LJ posting structures


Page 1 Spec Section


Summary


To enable Live Journal users to be able to leave comments for other users without having those comments publicly visible if they so choose.

Scenario


LiveJournal user joesmith has several friends who read his posts. In one of them, he declares his undying affection for a special someone, but declines to mention who that person is. User imaflirt, who is one of joesmith's readers thinks he may be talking about her, and wants to share that she feels the same way toward him, but doesn't want her comments to be visible to anyone else who reads joesmith's journal, in case joe was actually talking about someone else. Although joesmith can restrict his posts' visibility to various groups, those who comment do not have the same privace offered to them. As a result, imaflirt doesn't post, and a possible relationship is stymied by the inability of both parties to communicate to each other exactly how they feel.

Design Goals and Justification for the Service or Feature


In the diverse community that is LiveJournal and its users, it is currently possible for a journal owner to restrict particular posts to a limited audience- either private, visible only to friends or user-defined groups, or allow full public access.

Currently, though, although users can restrict who can respond to posts in their journals by limiting visibility and not allowing anonymous comments, there is no way for a particular user to comment without that comment being visible to anyone who is able to view the original post.

Presently, the only way to approximate this is by leaving a comment and subsequently deleting it- the original post generates e-mail with the text of the comment to the journal owner without requiring that the comment remain in the public domain.

Value Proposition


Being able to make a private comment, visible only to the journal owner would allow private communication between LJ community members without creating awkward situations.

Whew!

Left work about 40 minutes early today- i figure after being in five hours longer than i'd planned on Friday and now having to come in on a day i'd requested off and been told i could have, i deserved it.
Went to talk to my friend (and fellow Detroit Red Wings fan) Jon for a bit today, and he was talking about what he was doing to stay in shape to play in the Tec-Rec league next year. This got me thinking about getting back into shape myself- perhaps we'll live close enough by that time that it'll be practicable to play, but now an hour+ drive after a 10:30 hockey game just wouldn't be feasible.
Anyway, when i got home, i decided it was time to get some exercise, so i went and got my inline skates and protective gear (no, i didn't skate in full hockey gear, just elbow pads, helmet and soft, volleyball-style knee pade; but i'm a firm believer that adults don't just need to tell their kids to wear protective gear, but they also need to do so themselves), and went for a bit of a skate- about 10 km, i think (twice around the outer perimeter of the Cascade Mall and Cross Court parking lots, with an extra few lengths behind Target and Office Max to bring the distance up). Didn't feel too bad at all. My skating mechanics are a little off (i've never been a particularly good technical skater, dating back to playing as a 5-6 year old growing up- i'm pretty much the forward who goes to the front of the net, gets pounded on and tries to block the goalkeeper's sight lines and/or tip the occasional shot), and it'll take a while to get the back/pelvis/hips/thighs alignment back, but i went at a fair pace and only glided when passing cars dictated that it was a good idea.
It reminded me in a way of the days back in Florida when i was seeing Ruth Ellen, and we'd do a fair bit of skating together- i was doing 80-100 km a week then, generally from my place to hers and then together from her apartment downtown to Sarasota Bay, around the bay park and neighbouring marina and back. Unfortunately, i'm almost twenty kilos heavier than i was back then, and not quite in as good a shape. I know i'm going to feel this tomorrow, primarily in my back and inner thighs (is this gracillus, or am i remembering the muscle name incorrectly?), but it's a good thing. I think i'm going to try to skate at least three times a week, weather permitting, until i start feeling a bit more like a once and future hockey player and a bit less like a slug.
Off to the shower with me know, lest i offend myself further by reeking of drying perspiration.
