This & that

[kengr]

I've got to thank griffen for turning me on to MusicMatch jukebox way back when. Last night it finally dawned on me that I could rip all my Christmas CDs onto a Jaz disk and then set one of the computers to looping it endlessly. So I now have over 7 hours of "background music" without having to swap CDs once or twice an hour. And the Jaz disk is only 3/4ths full. So it'll be a few years before that's a problem.

After the holidays, I'll try divvying up the rest of my CDs between a couple of Jaz disks to save wear and tear on them (and on me).

I've been reading reparo.

It's addictive, and since I don't feel like doing much, it's a fun way to kill time.

However, there are a few vocabulary problems, mostly in the OOC stuff.

Anybody want to explain the following?

wibble
t00b
wubby(?)

Your link to the community is not showing; proper syntax is: (using pointy brackets) [lj comm=reparo]

"wibble" - what you do when you're on the verge of tears, when your lower lip trembles. Usually used when something angsty is written and you're feeling for the characters and what they're going through.

"t00b" - usually means someone who's "phoning it in" or not giving it their best shot when they write their fic.

"woobie" - the opposite of a t00b.

I made the mistake of *assuming* that the LJ client would get the link right.

Thanks for that syntax. It let me figure out how to "properly" point to users as well. (<lj user=xxxx>)

And for future reference, you can put in the angle brackets by using &lt; and &gt;

I went to the trouble of looking up and memorizing those two html codes because I use those characters so much.
