A stunning collection of images sure to delight anyone with a penchant for architectural elements, this talented community, largely from New York, is hoping to attract new members from around the world. Featuring an eclectic variety of photos depicting doors, windows, and walls, there's an interesting balance of interior and exterior shots, many from urban streets, some from ramshackle rural farmhouses. Wonderful!

Continued from this.

If anyone remembers, I'm going to be in Brisbane this weekend (Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th of December) and I would like to know if anyone would still like to have a meetup? I know I'd like to meet some of you. I would prefer the Saturday/12th, but I can do Sunday too.

I don't actually know where any of the places listed in the last post are, so if someone would like to suggest somewhere to go/something to do it would be excellent!

I'm sorry this is so short-notice, I've just found out that Faith, who was organising it before, is unable to attend so it's a bit pointless for her to organise it now. T______T

**FINAL EDIT Thu Dec 10 02:15:47 UTC 2009**

So there is the final update... Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything.

And finally some answers to some questions:

freeskiers
While some of us long to escape the cold, dark stretch of winter for hot tropical beaches, for others, there's nothing quite like whoooooshing down those shimmering sugar alps. If you're fond of freestyle skiing, get ready to slide down the slippery slopes in good company. This passionate, international community shares travel/gear tips, anecdotes, photos, and videos for those who can't get enough of the sweet stuff.

Need some extra twinkle to decorate your place? Check out these dazzling holiday-themed icons. If you're an artist, you can post your own creations, provided you abide by the simple rules (which is to say, all cheer and no politicking). Be sure to comment and give credit if you wish to borrow a little spirit (no direct links, please). If you're feeling a touch of humbug this season, this is an instant shot of festivity.

handmade_gifts
High on creativity, but low on cash? You'll find tons of brilliant suggestions for do-it-yourself crafts sure to please everyone on your holiday gift list. Offering detailed instructions, photos, budgets, timelines, and active support, you'll soon turn spare remnants of fabric and time into cherished keepsakes. Be sure to search entries and read user guidelines before you post for help!

Just a heads-up about about Tasmania's own LJ Lolita community: tas_lolita.
Our meet-ups will sometimes be x-posted here but in the future most of our meet-up plans and group order info will be posted at the new comm instead of trying to organise them via email. Feel free to join!

Hey Guys!

I was thinking that I haven't seen you guys in a while and would like to meet up again before Christmas!
Is the weekend of the 19th a viable option? We'll choose whether or not to do the Saturday or the Sunday depending on numbers.

In terms of activities, I'm not really sure what you'd want to do. I was thinking maybe we could book a table at a restaurant for lunch or dinner, or we could go see a movie... or something. haha. I'm very much open to ideas!!

Let me know what you think?

:)


Meet up Details

Ok, from what I can gather, most people want to do something on Saturday, 19th December in the afternoon/night.

People were pretty vague on what they wanted to do, so I'm just going to go ahead and decide for us that we should have dinner. Everybody needs to eat? I was thinking of booking a table at a restaurant (open to suggestions here), but if I do this then I need you to be absolutely certain that you can make it and confirm with me.

If you're interested, please can you confirm by the 15th! If I don't get many certainties, I may have to cancel the meet, but hopefully we'll have enough people who can make it. :)

Adelaide Picnic Meet 13th December 2009 on Sunday
Meet at North Terrace Entrance of Botanical Gardens at 12:45pm
Will wait at entrance until 1pm in case there are a few late comers. I can PM my number if you feel you will be late to the meet and need directions to picnic location.

Anyone with interest in lolita fashion is welcome, I especially encourage newbies to come! Please try to dress if your able, but their wont be any pressure too ^w^

As this is a picnic, it would be great if you could bring some food to share!

I look forward to seeing everyone!

**EDIT Thu Dec 3 23:24:15 UTC 2009 **

Hey Everyone, we are about to run the last alter job that we need to on our database servers. This will effect userpics / scrapbook / vgift images for the next few hours. Have no fear, your images aren't lost, there is just a really intensive process running on the servers which store the information for mogilefs. Thank you for your understanding and all the LJ love...

Hey LJers,

I just wanted to let you all know that we are going to be performing some mogilefs maintenance over the next few days. We will be upgrading our current version to latest stable as well as changing some db config information to better handle the amount of files we are currently hosting. This shouldn't cause a big impact on site stability, but you may see some minor delays with userpic / scrapbook images appearing or other requests associated with our mogilefs. We would love to not have that happen, but unfortunately with some of the steps we need to take we have to cause a delay with images. I figured this was a better solution than taking down all of LiveJournal because well lets face it, we all need our daily LJ fix ;)

Thanks,

Helooooooooooo!
