The latest madness

I think pingbacks are good. The implementation is sound. I want to know when someone is posting a link to my journal somewhere else in LJ. I would suggest turning it on. It's not a privacy violation engine.

I think the cross-post function is stupid and flawed. Stupid just in concept. Flawed because the implementation is crap. If I have repost turned off (and I do), I should not see the repost buttons on any LJ page (because I can't repost, I haven't put in FB or Twitter credentials). Neither should anyone else when commenting on my journal. If I have repost turned off (and I do), it should be off for all my LJ pages regardless of the settings of the person reading or commenting.

Request for Submissions

iKinook Reader #1 is coming along nicely, with a gorgeous cover by Mo Starkey and a hysterical article by Chris Garcia. I'm looking for more words and pictures for the debut issue, though (well, besides what I write myself).

I'm planning to release the first issue later this month at FenCon, so I need submissions by September 10.
