More goodies for all.

So I did my thing today and got ahead and got another page on something and basically finished the assignment due Friday. A little concentrated work threw off the panic that I was trying to work myself into. I'm good now, really. I will fight off the panic and stay calm. Tomorrow I will manage to stay awake in my classes, even if I have to take a nap to do it.

Pie glasses. Pi pie. Tang Pie. (Blech. I'm not sure I could take that.)

If that wasn't odd enough for you, then maybe you need a dose of Twenty Three.

Beyond that, a very much more real thing - the government trying to justify its illegality before the investigation confirms it. At least, in theory, that's what's going to happen. Just remember, these are the people that think groups of retired Quakers are considered credible terrorist threats. Mmm-hmm... that's real smart.

I think LJ's cookies have been set to expire periodically now - might be another aspect of the hullabaloo described in the news posts. Thus, I can get up in the morning and find myself logged out. If it's a security measure, that's fine - I just don't remember it being mentioned as one of the things that was going on.

Something a little more interesting is the Canadian election - watching the numbers flow in - preliminary measures indicate that the Conservative party will have a minority government. Most of the Canadians have been predicting a Conservative minority, which won't put someone who has been tagged as a bit backward on some issues (and perhaps the more damning aspect, Bush-friendly) into a majority government. I'm really wishing that we had more representative government... the first-past-the-post system has its aggravations, as might the more parliamentarian systems... but the parliamentarian systems consistently seem to be able to provide voices to smaller parties and involve them in making deals to get government legislation passed. I have no idea whether or not it's any more effective and any less prone to having corrupt and sneaky legislation passed, but it seems better. Grass is greener on the other side and all that, I know.

Anyway, there it is. That's what's out of my head tonight. Not that it's really worth anything, but there it is, anyway.

Tang Pie scares me.

don't forget about pi day...

The cookie thing seems to be related to the fact that they're playing Silly Buggers with the domain the cookies are attached to. Once you log in again you should stay logged in, unless they change the session handling code again.

Me as well - I'm not exactly sure how it would taste.

At least one of those things, I think, was in service of pi day, so I would think that something like that was covered. But thanks anyway.

Well, regular as clockwork, I seem to go to bed and find out that I've been looged out - or I come back from classes occasionally and I've been logged out - I think they set expiration times on the things to try and cut down on the haxxors.

Hmm, odd - I've gone through all my lj cookies and they all have expiration dates in March or later. *shrugs* Maybe it's something to do with some IP ranges.

I've had something like it before, it would be sort of like an orange creamcicle, *shudder*

[silveradept]

Creamsicle pie? That doesn't sound quite as appealing - although if it really was a creamsicle taste, I'd think about making it into a frozen pie of some sort and eating it like that.

Might be that they now always bind to IP addresses, so that when my DHCP shifts over, I get logged out because my IP is different.

I think they've said in their news posts twice in the last few days that they were resetting it. I know that they did it last night after your last post, but I don't know what to say about it logging you out at other times. Hopefully it will get ironed out in the next few days and stop confusing us :)
