Happy fourth birthday, Dreamwidth.

Good Lord, it feels like it's either been absolutely honking forever, or that we just started yesterday. Occasionally at the same time.

"it feels like it's either been absolutely honking forever, or that we just started yesterday. Occasionally at the same time."

Things that are commonly abbreviated to "DW" tend to have that in common... =;o}

Happy birthday Dreamwidth, and many, *MANY* happy returns!

[ninetydegrees]

Brains are wonderful things. I'm more on the "whoa has it been four years already" side, though. ;)

Happy birthday again! Hope you and Mark are celebrating somehow.

W00t!

[markmanching]

a *BIG* happy anniversary/birthday or something says to y'all

you're super awesome ;)

ps. fix dreamhack's repo. didn't update something after several resets from my 'hack

[denise]

I'm afraid I don't understand your PS -- if you're having trouble, post to dw_dev with what you've tried and any error messages you're getting!

[markmanching]

maybe the old repo (the pre-github area) in dreamhack is not working after some redirect

[denise]

ah, yes, if you're having trouble converting to github, try the instructions on the wiki -- http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/wiki/index.php/Moving_your_Dreamwidth_installation_to_use_Github -- and if you run into problems, post to dw_dev with the error messages you're getting. If you don't have patches in progress, it might be easiest to ask for your 'hack to be reinstalled from scratch, but I'm not 100% sure if the reinstall script is currently working, since that's not my area. dw_dev can help!

[markmanching]

thanks for super quick feedback. I'll trying to that

[sophie]

Yeah, sorry - reinstalls on the Dreamhack machine are broken right now. :( It's on the todo list to be fixed, though! In the meantime, I can reinstall you manually if you prefer.

When I was writing my own birthday entry, I caught myself saying "last year".

no.

four years ago.

holy fuck.

[frith]

Happy birthday! I guess you are counting the early days as 'Dreaming in the womb'? 8^D I just checked and I'll have been blogging here for four years two weeks from now. Time does fly! I thought it was maybe three years...

Maya Culpa I remember reading your blog in LJ when you were thinking and talking about setting up DW

[x_mass]

And then you were trying to scare up the resources to launch and you were asking for lifetime signups and vampwillow was talking about how important it was to support you and I agreed but I was so utterly exhausted all the time that it fell off the radar and I wasn't there for you. so this is me saying Mea Culpa as I still feel like I failed you both despite you going from strength to strength. And now its 10+ years on, and I now know what my life began to fall apart 15 years ago... https://x-mass.dreamwidth.org/1411.html
So I've just paid for a couple of years, which I am happy to do and I hope I will with my access to strength and so much energy again I might catch up on everybody I have missed in 10 years, both here and back on Lj.
In all the time I read your blog I don't think I ever realized that you worked for Lj, you were just another mate on Lj. It's like the stuff that I can read on this page, its about you (and your relation to dreamwidth) its not a corporate mouth piece - thanks!
I have no idea how your doing in the real world - how your coping with CoVid but I hope your doing OK! And thanks for setting UP DW all those years ago - it was really nice to be able to just switch when Lj went bad! Albeit I went so bad back then that I never transferred my files. So yet another job to do!!
I truly hope your well and thanks again

I really can't recall if I was part of the closed beta or not.
