- 00:14 OK, so SqEnix has /improved/ Crystal Defenders... but including it in a top iPhone games list is still a BIG stretch... bit.ly/5hXB3o #
- 21:35 I just got Voice Candy for Mac free from tap tap tap. They're celebrating launching Voices for iPhone bit.ly/i56Un #
- 21:43 Darn it, looking at the forecast it looks like it'll be a while before I can ride to work. I don't do freezing rain & flurries on a bike... #
For Cordial making and giving away.
If we ever gave you one of our little refillable bottles, we currently have available:
Strawberry: Which was just filtered last night, and could probably use a week or two to mellow out, but it still quite yummy.
Blueberry: Which was cut with a little too much wine, so it's more like wine with a blueberry undertone. Again, still quite yummy.
Blackberry: Or black raspberry... I can't actually remember which.
Apple: Not much of this one left, since we recently unearthed it having forgotten we had stored it away when we made a huge batch back at St. Pat's day. We've been dipping into it.
Also, we just racked 10 gallons of cider. We've got 5 gallons of just regular cider, and have 5 gallons of an experimental cinnamon/cloves version that REALLY needs sweetening, since the cinnamon completely overwhelms most of the other flavors. My current goal with the second batch is to make it an alcohol version of snickerdoodles. We should be bottling it in a week or two, once the yeast is all dead and settled out.
I'm also going to go start another 5 gallons as soon as I'm done here.

Session at the Strutt today! Yay!

There will be a little delay in notifications/emails being sent out due to a backup in a processing queue, which should clear up in the next couple of hours. Otherwise, the site is operating just fine and there are no other outages or problems to report. |

Our operations staff is currently working on a problem with one of our database servers. Please be patient as the site may be slow to load during this time. |
- 10:09 Wow, slept like 9 hours last night- and I wake up to find it snowed overnight. Should be an interesting day... #
- 19:19 Have spent the entire day cleaning/arranging the garage & shed. Now completely worn out & looking forward to tacos and *gasp* watching anime #
- 21:47 Summer Wars was every bit as good as I'd hoped it would be. I really hope someone licenses it so I can get it on BRD. #

The heavily armed monkeys guarding the servers currently report no site-wide problems. |

We are currently experiencing high database load, Operations is actively working on trying to fix the problem. We apologize for this inconvenience and hope to be done as soon as possible! |

- 08:08 @fheyd *boggles*. Dare I ask what strangeness the post-midnight pudding brought? Your pets didn't turn green and scaley or some such, right? #
- 22:27 OK, the Voltron game on the iPhone is better than I expected. ROTFL at what it does when you return from a menu to the game. :P #
- 21:14 Due to a short Kendo practice today (alone), I'm tackling cleaning up the study/computer room. Such an exciting Friday night I have... :P #
- Snow is being predicted for Saturday. Not sure if I'm pissed or glad. #
- 08:25 Bad part about working out in the morning: lost track of time, looked at clock, was running late for work and really needed a shower. Oops. #
- 08:37 @K_May_Li better to be roseish and late. Can't cheat myself. #
- 23:01 Mmm, Lebkuchen. Not as good as I used to get back in Germany, but still better than no Lebkuchen at all. #
- 14:14 Well, Lark & Hotaru are all registered & taxed for another year. Hopefully this time next year I'll be renewing the registration for 3 cars. #
- 19:51 Made old-fashioned- as in 'deep fried corn tortillas'- tacos 4 dinner. Absolutely delicious- haven't had them that way in at least a decade. #

Give a little to help a lot!
In honor of National AIDS Awareness month, we've added a new charitable vgift. For each red ribbon you purchase for $2.99, we'll donate 100 percent of gross proceeds to IAVI.org (the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative) to support the development and global distribution of an affordable HIV vaccine (we'll cover credit card fees). You can read more about IAVI at lj_cares. While we're on the subject, we raised $740 from our November fundraiser for Love Without Boundaries, which supports emergency healthcare and adoption of Chinese orphans. We thank you for helping us help others.
Photos of the week
We're back with more incredible pictures from our super-talented LiveJournal photographers. Congratulations to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
