More waste of space

| 2 Comments | 3 TrackBacks | Edit

Eric thinks that he can spite me by taking up all the space on pX, with his KiB list. What he seems to forget is that I decide whether his blog even makes it onto there.

The kibibyte (KiB), by the way, is the binary analogy to the kilometer or kilodegree Celsius (and yes, there is such a thing). I switched to using this unit and its multiples back in August.

So he has prompted me to implement a new policy: truncation. Here’s the rule of thumb: if your post is more than three screens long (using a 1280×800 resolution, since that’s what my monitor’s set to) in 12pt Times New Roman, your post will likely be reduced to a mere title. Furthermore, due to Planet’s current limitations, all your posts will be treated the same way: dwindled down to a brief one-liner.

If you don’t want to get truncated, just use <lj-cut> for goodness sake. Your readers will thank you for it.

Your posts will be restored to their former glory once the offending entries get pushed off the bottom (usually within a day or two). I’ve also come up with a Three-Truncation Rule: if I am forced to truncate three entries within a quarter (or during the entire Summer Break), I will truncate all your posts permanently.

Xanga finally fixed their RSS feeds to include the dates of each post properly. I would say that with no trivial amount of jubilation, except that their fix broke my fix. Read More
