Facebook/GoodReads

[j_cheney]

So, I've set up a Facebook account, as well as a GoodReads account. I don't know that I'm ever going to use them, and I have some doubt that I'll have much time for them---but I've got my place staked out now.

Did my proofs for WOTF. They wanted to change 'derailment' to 'derailleur' (which was incorrect, so I asked them to change it back) but pretty much otherwise, they just made punctuation changes. Glad that's done.

ETA: No, I had it backwards originally, and they changed it, and then changed it back, and then sent another PDF that had it correct, so I'm going to step out and let them handle everything. I'm confused....

No MySpace. Not now. Not ever.

Please excuse this little rant.

Just because you brought My Space up... it is the only website that constantly thinks I am Spanish. Chinese I'd understand, 'cuz I'm in Taiwan, but I've never been to Spain and hell I've only been to Mexico for a few days. My computer sure as hell hasn't been to either of those places, nor have I ever set my computer to a Spanish setting, but every time go to visit a writer's My Space it's like
Ola! or whatever...mmm, aggravating. So in conclusion, I don't like My Space either. :-)

Facebook is not too bad, but watch out it can be a time leech!
I know people who spend hours on it and collect friends like they were relics in a Korean online RPG.

I will say that if I just saw your last name, I would assume you were of Spanish descent also, although I doubt MS is really using that sophisticated an algorithm. And I'm not gonna find out, either. ;o)

I didn't look at it that way... Well, it's French, but they're pretty closely related. Now if it was in French I could handle it!
