[Another day, another error message from the cron daemon -- segmentation fault this time. Anyone else having trouble logging in specifically at 05:25 EDT (that's what, 10:25 UT, right?) for the past few days or do I have Gremlins?]

"All the great liberal Presidents of the past century were nurturers (their weakness for war notwithstanding). But conservative leaders follow another model: Lakoff calls it 'the strict father.' The appeal of this harsh, punitive style is directly related to anxiety. People kept in a state of constant stress will sacrifice their best instincts and even their real interests for the illusion of safety -- and sheer sexiness -- that a bad dad can provide." -- Richard Goldstein, "Sex and the Democrats", 2004-01-12.

[And since I'm posting manually after having seen today's Quotation of the Day mailing list quote, I'll toss that in as well:]

"Iraq is free of rape rooms and torture chambers." -- U.S. President George W. Bush, speaking at the 2003 Republican National Committee Presidential Gala, October 8, 2003. (Submitted to the mailing list by Mike Krawchuk, May 10, 2004)

It might be. I know mine is reporting an hour late. I'm guessing that explorer 5.0 (the last version for mac that is no longer supported) doesn't recognize daylite savings time.

livejournal never seems to have the slightest hint of what time my computer clock says it is.

When I posted this entry, the computer I posted it from thought it was 10:26 EDT. That computer appears to be eight minutes fast. The one from which I'm posting this comment seems to be three minutes slow, and is currently reporting 11:57 EDT.

Okay, that changes it from ironic to something quite different. I think expletives may be required.

Login problems

posted by [identity profile] realinterrobang.livejournal.com at 11:52am on 2004-05-11
I've been having problems logging in, too. It's like LJ never remembers me, so every time I visit the page, I have to log in (like now, for instance). I'm really starting to get annoyed.
