V.6 Woes...

Journal Entry: Sat Jul 26, 2008, 12:15 AM
  • Mood: Suggestive
  • Listening to: "Away" by Bella Morte
  • Reading: "Lady of Conquest" by Teresa Medeiros
  • Watching: Ocean waves
  • Playing: With myself.
  • Eating: you!
  • Drinking: your soul.





Now that I've had ample opportunity to get used to V.6, I'm not sure I like this whole swanky high class loading crap its got going on where it seems to take forever for my message center to load/save and where it appears to be bugging worse than my Windows operating system. It seems like every time I submit something, there's either a bug or they're updating some shit. I realize they're going for a more professional look, but does professional mean "it looks good, you know, when it works"?

Why can't we choose? Even Myspace--the shittiest website on the planet, in my opinion--allows users to go back to the "classic" format.

Nice try, DA. It doesn't fail...for those with really supa fast internetz.

----

Crickets are everywhere. Is it really bad luck to kill a cricket? I like bugs, but I don't like them surprising me in my sleep. Mostly I like them when they're encased and unable to touch me. As of this moment there are two crickets running around on the floor. If I were living with Elyse, this is where I would look to her to do her benevolent thing and catch them in a container and take them outside. Since I'm by myself, I'm too lazy to do anything, so I just hope they go away or get eaten or get stuck in a spiderweb somewhere.

But they ALWAYS come back. I could kill the crickets, but I'm pretty sure their mom, dad, brother, sister, 2nd cousin once removed would infest my bedroom in revenge.

And lets face it guys, my bedroom is my photo studio. I can't have crawlies all up in my creative...uh...atmosphere. Or in my bed. Isn't there a possibility of swallowing bugs in your sleep? The last thing I want to do is wake up in the morning with cricket breath. I'm not sure if its a step down from bacteria-shit-all-night breath, but the combination cannot be good.

We are in agreeance. Sure it looks nice, but it's slow as fuck. I'd rather it be ugly and fast. Or just what it was.
Ah, bugs! Gah, I can't name all the times creepy bugs were in my room, and bed, and - kill 'em!
Is Lady of Conquest good? I'm debating between getting that and Succubus Dreams or Succubus Dreams and The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty. I need an experienced opinion, plz.
Yes! I'm playing with myself too. But then, it's always funner to play together ^ ^

I know. I do miss V.5. Do you ever have problems with galleries loading? Sometimes when I click on people's categories and go into those galleries, they don't load. I have to keep pressing the refresh button and it's fucking frustrating.

"Lady of Conquest"--I'll have to get back to you. I've just started it, so I haven't been able to form much of an impression. But I adore many of Teresa Medeiros' books and hope this will be no different. My favorites by her are probably "Nobody's Darling" and "Once an Angel". We'll see how this one goes--I've heard mixed reviews.
"Succubus Dreams", do you mean "Incubus Dreams" by Laurell K. Hamilton? I read it and hated it. I'm not much into reading books with furry sex and I think Hamilton has gone a bit off the deep end. And "The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty" was interesting. I read that a very long time ago and I'm not sure I was mature enough for it because of all the BDSM. All the rape freaked me the hell out :fear:

Yes! Every time. It gives me a construction message. It takes forever to load. It doesn't load. The file stays there for the next time I try to submit. I refresh, I click twenty times, I wait. It takes too god damn long. I hate when people release a product even when it still has glitches. It's not like we were anticipating it, or rioting for a better version. They could've worked it out better.
I'll have to read those. No, I mean Succubus Dreams by Richelle Mead, but Incubus Dreams looked reasonable. Really? Wait, do you mean 'furry' or 'fury'? I actually haven't read much BDSM, but I don't think I'll dislike it. Uh, rape...yeesh. Well. I'll probably read it anyway. My friend said it rocked...although she's kinky as hell and certifiably insane ^ ^

I hate it when I'm submitting something, the picture's already loaded, and then I press the "submit" button at the bottom and it goes to one of those obnoxious "system maintenance" pages, and I can't go back to the previous page because the picture's already been submitted. Irritating as hell. I HATE the damn "system maintenance" pages, but I've been getting them all the time lately! You're right V.6 needs a lot of work.

Ohhh! "Succubus Dreams" by Richelle Mead? READ HER!!! Seriously, she's awesome. I just finished two books in her "Vampire Academy" series, and her writing is absolutely amazing. You can't go wrong with her.

I meant "furry" sex. Like half man/half leopard sex scene. :shudder: My mind may never recover.

You might want to try getting Anne Rice's "Beauty" series from the library (I know there's an omnibus edition with all three books out there). It's really one of those series where a lot of people love it, an equal amount hate it. It's got a lot of really kinky shit in it that pretty much made me cringe while reading it. But if it turns out to be something you're not into, it's probably best to save your money for something not so questionable.

Okay, I just got the system matanence pg four times! Twice submitting one deviation, and twice updating my journal. *controls the impulse to strangle*

OMG! Yes! You've read her books! I've read everything that she's published so far, OMG she rocks! i seriously love her. Her Georgina Kincaid trilogy (Succubus...) is so orgasmic! I read both books in three days. I couldn't help it. I want Succubus Dreams to come out so bad! And Shadow Kiss! Dimitri *sighs*

Eh. That's just weird. Maybe I should avoid her...

You're smart! That sounds like a good idea. I always buy books, but I am low on cash and there is nudity on the cover...better to rent! Thank you!

Ah, it's 5:03 AM. *dies* Night!

I agree with you whole:heart:edly...when (trying to) uploading stuff it grinds to a halt and spews up that all too familiar 'system maintenance' screen.... and the message centre is just, well... DREADFUL.....

I got a NOTE from DA asking me to participate in a marketing survey about what new enhancements we(as artists/users) would like to see - all I could think of was 'hey - let's not try running-til we can at LEAST get on our feet!!!!'

I amean ffsDA -sortitout!!!

Hmmm. System maintenance? very frustrating. my internet is so slow it communicates in pencil! thought it was just me.


Crickets. I have a mini-dauchshund that will eat every cricket in a hundred miles!! She absolutely loves them!! like dogs better than bugs!

Was my soul thirst quenching?
I'm not liking the new version either. I don't think many people are liking it :/ I think it's a rip off that non subscribers have some of the features we are paying for now. Wtf?

And eek, crickets? I'd be terrified if I had creepy crawlies in my room. I had a mouse once.. *shudder*

I remember subscribers having a lot of benefits with it, but it seems like free accounts are continuously catching up. I understand that they're trying to make membership here worthwhile, but they aren't giving me much of an incentive to continue paying for a subscription. What do members have that nonmembers don't other than beta testing?

My internet's not usually slow, but it tends to lag on Deviantart. Not that I blame it, DA is a rather inflated website with too much shit on it.
And I'd love a dog to get rid of the crickets. It would make my life easier.

Was my soul thirst quenching?
Hm. It tasted like Ramen noodles.
