Awesome, Livejournal!

The beta test that you threw me on five minutes ago has rendered me unable to read any comments on LJ! Awesome! Exactly what I wanted! How did you ever know?

I've tested removing AdBlock and the Greasemonkey script that stops LJ perma-loading, but they don't seem to affect it. Off to try Ghostery next...

edit: Ah, I forgot I don't have Ghostery installed on my work computer. So that's ruled out!

edit edit: to get back to the old style, follow these directions

To change back to old LJ style...

There should be a little speech bubble with a question mark on the top right of the new profile page. Clicking that gets you the pop-up that allows you to go back to the old style.

Or, if you're me, the speech bubble and questions mark do not show up, but clicking randomly on blank spaces on the top right of the bar at the top of the profile page led the pop-up to pop up, from which I could change back to the old style. (THANK YOU boxofdelights!)

HDR pics

If you're unaware of it, HDR (high dynamic range, I think) photographs are pics in which you take two exposures of a scene, one so that the darkest areas of the scene are exposed correctly, and one so that the lightest areas of the scene are exposed correctly, and then stitch them together in a program or app of some sort. Often the results are also super-saturated, and many people think that the effect is way overdone.

I don't care what they think. :D I have also just bought an app for my phone that does all the work for me.

Why you should ALWAYS read the label CAREFULLY, even when you're sure you know what you're holding...
