I made an icon...

This came about mostly in response to the newest LJ issues.

I admit to a fair bit of hyperbole, but why not? My keywords are 'Change is bad'. :)

(I've also wanted a Tanya icon, because she's brilliant.)

Feel free to snag.

ETA: OMG, this is too perfect:



:D

And to have a happy item also, here's a nice video I found on facebook:

If you think things have never been worse, you need to watch this video.

Hah! This made me wonder if there's any real fandom usage of Slack -- I think it would work rather well, at least for conversation. Posting type stuff would be too difficult to find. But it's definitely hugely useful for work.

Of course it can't just be 20 people keeping all those old platforms going. I'm sure there are still active mailing lists somewhere.

I have literally never heard about Slack, which somehow makes this even more apt...

Very true.

It's a chat platform and you can sign up for free. One can upload files and images, and it can tie in to other platforms (though I think these are all workplace oriented). However given how widely used it's becoming by business I have my doubts that it will continue to be so open to use.

Actually the thing that caught my attention was IRC use in 2004. If someone had quizzed me, I would have assumed its peak use was at least 3 years earlier!

Sounds neat, but if it's a work thing that's probably why I haven't heard of it. Would make no difference to my job. :)

Yeah, barely heard of that either. (Not that I care. *g*)
