Is it just my paranoia...

[wiseheart]

... or is the Internet steadily getting more and more user-unfriendly? Yahoo deletes all Geocities sites, LJ is doing what LJ currently does, Hotmail changes its layout and work-wise every other week, making everything take longer and more complicated, there are more restrictions everywhere, and you're forced to get newer and newer versions of your browser b/c nothing is compatible with the older versions anymore.

I'm so fed up with all the changes. I want my peace and quiet. I want my websites back,the ones I could actually use without running to my computer science teacher colleagues for help every other day.

And, on a less technical side of things, I want my online friends back who've got eaten by a giant cyber-jellyfish over the recent years.

Yeah, I'm getting old.

Nah, I can't see much on your LJ, most of it's Flocked, but I'd love to read that story! Perhaps you wouldn't mind emailing it to me? lissas_elves at yahoo dot co dot uk (there's a reason for the 'UK')

Ad 1) Really? I've got distant family in that area (as do most Danes, it seems).

>>Maybe some Danish Vikings "visited" my ancestors at some point? [grin] When I was in Denmark, I discovered that, if I kept my mouth shut and didn't knit, folks assumed I was a Dane.<<

*g* Those Vikings got around a bit, didn't they?

>>If I spoke, they assumed I wasn't American because I could speak some Danish. <<

Ehm, yes, about that... *blushes* We Danes tend to assume that Americans cannot speak any language but their own. Very prejudiced - I apologize! (Actually, we believe the same thing about both the Brits and the French.)
