[sticky entry] Sticky: Hello, world

Hello world!

This is a test journal. I'll be using it to test various things as I develop an iPhone client. You can subscribe if you really want to, but I'd recommend subscribing to [personal profile] beccarvn instead.

Ecole Polytechnique Massacre

[personal profile] azurelunatic is right. When remembering the École Polytechnique Massacre, it's more important to remember the victims than the killer.

Geneviève Bergeron (born 1968), civil engineering student
Hélène Colgan (born 1966), mechanical engineering student
Nathalie Croteau (born 1966), mechanical engineering student
Barbara Daigneault (born 1967), mechanical engineering student
Anne-Marie Edward (born 1968), chemical engineering student
Maud Haviernick (born 1960), materials engineering student
Maryse Laganière (born 1964), budget clerk in the École Polytechnique's finance department
Maryse Leclair (born 1966), materials engineering student
Anne-Marie Lemay (born 1967), mechanical engineering student
Sonia Pelletier (born 1961), mechanical engineering student
Michèle Richard (born 1968), materials engineering student
Annie St-Arneault (born 1966), mechanical engineering student
Annie Turcotte (born 1969), materials engineering student
Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz (born 1958), nursing student

To my annoyance, none of these women have Wiki pages, but the killer does.

Dink says, Sorry, Ender, seems there were some system crashes. The battle's gotta be cut short. Ender says, the lasers still work. Dink says, Yeah, but the enemy's gate is down.

Orson Scott Card is a sexist, heterosexist asshole, but part of me will always love him for providing the context for this joke.

Quoth [personal profile] azurelunatic here:

An excerpt from The Book of Wholesome Hobbies That Denise Has Forbidden Her Volunteers From Taking Part In:
Deleting every single comment that an ex-friend has left in your journal and marking it as spam. (It's the marking it as spam part that's forbidden. Delete to your heart's content.)
Feeding the trolls.
Hanging out with that guy who points AK-47s at you.
Making a large number of completely outlandish suggestions in dw_suggestions for the sole purpose of making the person handling the moderation queue crack up.

"Error updating journal: Client error: Access of restricted feature: Your account type doesn't permit creating polls."

Best bit is? I wasn't trying to create a poll. Okay, yes I was, but then I checked the FAQ and remembered free accounts can't. What I did do was copy the relevant FAQ and attempt to post it. And I got the above error message. I think the offending part was this bit:

Polls can only be added to entries when they are first posted. You can't create a poll by editing the entry later. Polls can't be edited once they're posted, although the entry they're contained in can be edited normally, as long as you don't remove the <poll-###> tag from the text of the entry.
Except without the &lt; and &gt; substituting for the < and >.
