most of the video files I have are AVI. the Kindle Fire I was looking at has a list of file formats a mile long. Ofcourse AVI isn't one of them. Does any of these things mean it will recognize and play AVI files?

Kindle (AZW), KF8, TXT, PDF, unprotected MOBI, PRC natively, Audible Enhanced format (AAX), DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, Dolby Digital (AC-3), Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC-3), non-DRM AAC, MP3, MIDI, PCM/WAVE, OGG, WAV, MP4, AAC LC/LTP, HE-AACv1, HE-AACv2, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, HTML5, CSS3, MP4, 3GP, VP8(.webm)

For those wanting to know more about the recent DDoS attacks, yes, it looks like it was the Russian government trying to shut down the dissidents again.

As I said last time, while it's frustrating not to have access, LJ is a lot more than a social network platform. From the article:

"LiveJournal isn’t just a social network. It’s also a platform for organizing civic action. Dozens of network projects and groups mobilize people to solve specific problems — from defending the rights of political prisoners to saving endangered historic architecture in Moscow."

So while I know many are considering the move over to Dreamwidth and other such sites, supporting LJ is a way we can help support those who use it for more than a writing/roleplaying/social venue.


Also, as a FYI, LJ is giving paid users effected by the outage two weeks of paid time as compensation.




Also posted at Dreamwidth, where there are comment(s); comment here or there.

17th September, 2010. 1:47 am. From Marvel Comics "Civil War"

"Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world - 'No, you move.' "

(UCS) "These Exaltations won't catalyze. What am I doing wrong?"
(Autochthon) "Let me see that. Hm. Are you putting everything you have into this?"
(UCS) "Of course not. Nothing can withstand that."
(Autochthon) "These Exaltations are insufficiently awesome. You must push yourself to your limits."
(UCS) "But I have none."
(Autochthon) "Nevertheless."
(UCS) "Very well—but I warned you."
--Holden, on the creation of the Solar Exalted

White Cheese Tapanade

1 can black olives (chopped up into tiny bits)
1 4oz package feta cheese crumbles
1 16oz container riccotta cheese
8oz shredded sharp white cheddar
1 medium onion minced (white or yellow, red would be fine but it will change how it looks more)
3 cloves of minced garlic (3 tsp if you have minced in a jar)
1/4 cup grated parmesean
1lb cooked and drained pasta (I use mini bow-tie, pene or ziti would work too)

in a fairly large mixing bowl, combine everything but the pasta in a bowl, and take half a cup of the pasta water to thin it just a bit right before you drain the pasta. add the still warm pasta to the cheese mixture and stir till evenly mixed and the pasta is coated. Serve hot or cold. makes alot, never measured how many servings

The Witch
By Leah (a.k.a. Broomstyx)

I pitied pain in man or beast,
And only sought their good,
I used my herbs and healing arts,
To help them if I could

I pitied small defenseless things,
And since I lived alone,
The orphaned hare, the homeless cat,
Crouched on my warm hearthstone.

Though all could see my frugal life,
And none could deem me rich,
Some swore I sold my soul for gold
And cursed me for a witch.

And when there came the crop that failed,
The child that could not thrive,
They drove me out with blow and shout,
To hang or burn alive.

Gaia Consort - The Rede

I've been blessed with many lovers and I'd grant the same you
Though I suppose I'd skip a broken heart or two
I confess that I am troubled by that pious vocal few
When they cross the line and tell us what to do

Ah But life's too short for all this worry - I offer myself to you whole
Life's too long for lies to carry any more weight in this world

An it harm none, do what ye will
As the circle has bound us, bound we are still
Though the bottle be empty, may the cup remain filled
An it harm none, do what ye will

I will call the four directions, I will cast a circle here
I will put my feet upon the holy ground
In the shadow there reflected I will find and face my fear
And we all know there is fear a'plenty round

Ah But life's too short for all this worry - I offer myself to you whole
Life's too long for lies to carry any more weight in this world

An it harm none, do what ye will
As the circle has bound us, bound we are still
Though the bottle be empty, may the cup remain filled
An it harm none, do what ye will

Every act of love and pleasure is a prayer along the way
With everything between the living Earth and Sky
When it's all of life we treasure through the endless spinning days
In our actions you will know us by and by

Ah But life's too short for all this worry - I offer myself to you whole
Life's too long for lies to carry any more weight in this world

An it harm none, do what ye will
As the circle has bound us, bound we are still
Though the bottle be empty, may the cup remain filled
An it harm none, do what ye will

An it harm none, do what ye will
As the circle has bound us, bound we are still
Though the bottle be empty, may the cup remain filled
An it harm none, do what ye will

An it harm none, do what ye will
