I took the plunge and bought myself a netbook. It was getting more and more difficult to juggle my 15" laptop, 40+ handouts for students, their assignments written in class, plus any homework assignments they thought to print out and bring to class.

It's a ViewSonic 10" netbook, who I'm told make good monitors, displays, digital photo frames and such. It didn't come with a lot of software, which is good. It has Windows 7 Starter, plus a trial version of Office. I will most likely uninstall it and install OpenOffice. I've already installed Firefox and Thunderbird, most of my e-book readers, 7zip and Foxit Reader. I'll have to see if there's anything else I will need. Any suggestions?

Oh! What's a good comics viewer program? Simple, free, no muss, no fuss.

Maybe it's because I'm not on your f-list?

:blinks: You're not? But... it shouldn't matter, should it?? I mean, I didn't really set my journal as friends only, I choose that setting every time I post... Hold on.

...I had the "Screen comments from non-friends" in my settings! :facepalm: It was probably set during that time of facebook reposts. See, and this is another reasons why those things are not goo. You set something up, forget about it, and then wonder when your journal starts following your settings! All fixed now; only anon comments will be screened from now on.

I thought it was that setting:), some of my friends have it - either because of some random crazy users or because of bots.

Oh yes, it was the bots, I remember now! I was getting all sorts of... interesting propositions, and some porn videos were posted in [livejournal.com profile] 7men1destiny.

Hmm, but I changed the setting, and your comments are still getting screened! Weird. I will have to dig deeper.
