Am I Dead Yet?
by Eddy Webb ([info]eddyfate)

Pre-Gen Con rush rolled into Gen Con rush, and is now the post-Gen Con rush. So, bullet points:

* Gen Con was amazing. I usually have a good (if busy) time there, but this year was both a particularly good time and particularly busy.

* Being able to put faces to names is very helpful to me. Most of those faces being attached to cool people helps.

* Seeing old friends was also awesome. The fact that they were universally excited about my new job is only icing on the cake.

* Fans in person are far, far cooler than fans online.

* I have a list of swag from the con, which I'll post later...

* ... after I finish packing up the apartment, move Friday and then unpack the apartment over the weekend.

* This week I'll also be moving my office, which means I will have moved every aspect of my life to one degree or another this month (including my physical person).

* Verizon promised to call me last week to talk about canceling my service. As of tonight, I have not gotten the call back.

* My "to do" list is currently separated into Past Due, Way Past Due and JESUS FUCK WHY ISN'T THIS DONE YET? Losing access to 10% of my files for the next few days isn't helping. It would be 100% if I hadn't done a backup prior to Gen Con.

Thinking on my Summer

happy

current location: Gibsons, BC
current mood: happy

Hey Folks,

Been some time since I wrote in this much, but I've been having an interesting summer as one of the ideas/hobbies I've wanted for so long has picked up and given me some real fun, I do Professional Fireworks Displays, nowe with a few groups, I took the course last October inbetween ICC and a vacation back East to NB I took the Professional Display Course and the Indoor Pyrotechnics course and had to wait several months before a show. If I hadn't gone on Vacation I'd have had one at halloween but then I'd have missed many folks and would have been more trouble. So I've gone over to vancouver Island several times over the summer not to go see my friends in Victoria but to go and blow things up in various other parts of the island, I also did the 40th Anniversary of the Sea Cavalcade in Gibsons, but now I have to wait until Halloween for another show so this year I'll have done 9 Professional shows, and have had a great time doing them.

I also go from being a Display Apprentice to a level 1 supervisor in the end. Just going to be a long dry season till my next show.

Development Goals and Basic Accounts

Last week we updated our development goals for 2008. Generally we noted a number of cool enhancements and investments to LiveJournal that we are working on, including improved search, usability, and site development.

We also wanted to let you know how we hope to accomplish all these things, and how we plan on paying for them. In order to accomplish our stated goals for this year and beyond, we need to increase the revenue gained from both groups of LiveJournal accounts: paid subscription accounts and ad-supported accounts.

As of August 28th, all users will be able to choose to downgrade their account to Basic through their Manage Account page. Additionally, we will start showing advertising to visitors who are not logged in to LiveJournal when they are looking at Basic Account journals and communities.

Basic Account users themselves will not see ads on any Basic journal or community while they are logged in to their account. If you want more information about this, take a look at our new post on [info]lj_2008 where we outline our reasoning.

Indian Flash Fiction Contest

In other news, we are excited to tell you we've launched "Quick Tales" LiveJournal's first initiative for users in India, in celebration of India Independence day, August 15th. "Quick Tales" is a flash fiction writing contest in which we're partnering with Caferati.com, one of India's largest online literary communites. The contest's winners will receive some great prizes and it is open to anyone with a mailing address in India. We hope that users with an interest in Indian writing or just India will watch LiveJournal's [info]india_writing community. That's where the finalists and winners will be announced, so keep an eye on it towards the end of September! If you're in India then enter the contest - if your story is slick and quick (under 500 words) then you could be the lucky winner!

Meanwhile, back at LiveJournal Inc.

We have updated and redesigned our corporate site. The goal of the redesign was twofold: first, to update the look and feel (Dystopia users will appreciate it!); second, we want to provide a destination for prospective employees, partners, and members of the press where they can access important information about the company. Kudos to our design team.

current mood: busy

Right now I'm trying to get stuff uploaded to DriveThruRPG and back up files to stare at and pretend to redline work on in odd moments while at GenCon/airport/etc. Then I go home, argue with Verizon, pack and get up at insane o'clock to catch my flight tomorrow.

My schedule is dense, and likely to change during the convention. The normal strategy of "look for me by the booth" might not even work. I'm going to try to walk the floor a few times as I can, but generally I'm going to be in motion from Wednesday until around Monday afternoon. I'll be checking email on my iPhone and likely Twittering during the convention (which will post here once a night as usual), so I won't be completely out of touch.
