The Dreamwidth thing

OK, Dreamwidth is going into open beta later today. At that point, I expect to receive n ≥1 invite codes. I may want to hang onto at least one, but will likely have a few to share. If you're interested, leave a comment here, and I'll see what I can do.

Also, at that time they'll be selling paid accounts, with $3 getting a couple of months and, if you don't pay for more time, it reverts to basic but you have an account as long as the site lasts.

For the time being, I'll be either posting here or cross-posting; at some point in the future DW may become my primary site, but I doubt I'll leave LJ entirely unless it falls over or becomes a ghost town (note that I am still reading and posting to Usenet semi-regularly).

ETA: I'm screening comments; if I have extra codes I will email people. Priority here will be people who don't yet have Dreamwidth accounts or invite codes; honor system, obviously, I'll ask if people are still looking and they'll answer. (Also, I may not get to this tonight; follow-up comments from people no longer looking would be welcome.)

Wiscon

Things are falling into shape. I have booked tickets, on Midwest. I should be in Madison about 5:00 Thursday afternoon, which is too late for packet stuffing but possibly time for the Room of One's Own reception and almost certain time for social dinner. May try to make specific plans, or go to ROOO and play it by ear, which has worked well some years. I have a long enough layover on the way to Madison to visit the used bookstore I'm told of, and a fairly tight connection on the way back, so I will also use the trip out to get a feel for the airport layout.

I have one program item, Friday evening (late enough that I won't have to rush back from dinner, not so late that I will be a zombie). I definitely want to see people, and may be trying to make specific plans.
