Interesting day. Wedding in Renton, visit to Ikea, the Half-Price Books in the U District on the way home. Probably spent too much money, but we got some things which will be useful at very least, and some fun things as well.
Hope Gwynn and Lauren has weather as good as we had here today, and look forward to seeing them on Tuesday. Hey, you two, if you happen to see this, we'll probably be down there in the 10-10:30 area, so you don't have to get up too early on our account. ;-)
I'm a little confused by something that's happening. I've been having a conversation with someone in environments which aren't really conducive to having real discussions, and, as a direct result, we haven't managed to get much real talking in. I think we've both expressed a clear interest in doing so, and said we'd trade e-mail to come up with a mutually feasible time. Unfortunately, i've sent a few pieces of mail- three- over the past week, but haven't gotten any e-mail in response. Now, i realize than not everyone responds to mail immediately- i usually do, because otherwise i forget to respond, but it'd seem as if a response shouldn't take a week. Here's the quandry- since we occasionally run into one another in public, do i just let e-mail go, and figure that we can plan something ad hoc in one of these encounters; do i continue making suggestions, and figure one of them will eventually work; or is the ball completely out of my court now, and i let it go until i merit some sort of a response?
I'm interested in getting to know this person a bit better, so i want to make sure to follow up on things as much as possible, but at the same time i don't want to be a nuisance. Any ideas on this quandry? Never been particularly skilled with the social graces, and at a time like this, it's reasonably evident.

Oh, quit living my life, mo chara... I got a response from someone I'm trying to get to know better by making a targeted filter post on my LJ after sie'd failed to answer my email after three days. I'm a little impatient, yes, but at least it worked. Can't do a heck of a lot about it yet, but it's a start. Good luck.e

Well, hopefully inquiring about how to handle things wasn't too snarky. The individual in question posted a response, then deleted it (this generates e-mail to the journal owner without having it be publically available), and responded under seperate cover.

Hmmm. There's an additional feature there- it's possible to set security levels for posts- public, friends, or private. It should be possible to do the same with comments. Hmmm. Maybe i need to work on my PM skills and write a second LJ feature spec.
