Journal CmdrTaco's Journal: Just testing out some journal submission changes 8
I don't actually have anything to say. Kathleen is due any day, and I'm looking forward to a few weeks of staying home, getting poor sleep, and changing diapers.
But mostly I'm testing to see if journal saving works properly.

Coongratulations. Kids are the best thing that can happen to a person, but they come at a great price (and not just a monetary price).
I wish one of my kids would make me a grandpa. Oh well...
Those 3:00 AM feedings and diaper changes are hell if you have an alarm clock.
So is it the changes in the code... (Score:2)
...which let me post in your Journal (which wasn't possible when I last looked at it, admittedly quite some time ago), or have you just not checked the appropriate box?
Take all the sleep you can get, you won't get much for the next two or three years. But you get the greatest experience you can be given on this planet - witnessing a human being growing up. I am witnessing three of those, aged 7, 4 and 2, so you're a bit behind. ;)

Your short post made me think about the marriage proposal you did on Slashdot 7 years ago. I just re-read the whole story. It was great and everybody loved it.
What I did notice when looking it up, is that it's the first result if you google for your wife's name. She must love that :-)

slashdot.org/journal/(number)/(journal-entry-title)
, whereas the rest of us still have our entries at
slashdot.org/(~username)/journal/(number)
Will the rest of us get to access our journals the new way some time too?

One comment about the new form... (Score:2)
The new form works, but I really liked the ability to see the journal entry at the same time that I was editing. That made it much easier to proofread and make sure that the entry lined up properly (in the case of poetry). That's not usually a big factor for comments, because most of them are short, but it is better for journal entries.
