Heat, Vox and evil people

[winter]

The heat is disturbing my laptop's operation again. After some normal operation, the high-speed fan kicks in and the processor seems to enter some kind of overheat-protection mode that slows everything down something awful. As a result, I'm unable to watch videos or do graphics, which is a pain.

Especially since fyrie wandered off to Sweden and left me alone. (If wolfmoonie happens to read this, all the best on your wedding day :)) Which is a good point as any for me to pimp her recent work so that you people can leave feedback for her once she returns. I think that for once I'm caught up with pimping her Carpe Noctem series, because we got sidetracked there. She wrote an angsty prequel though: Und Alle Engel Müssen Fall'n. Then she temporarily ditched that continuity to write a lovely Herbert-turning fic and Herbert in a modern Goth club (a rather masterful work of bunnying on my part). And then we both got the Elisabeth bug, which on her part turned into a crossover series called Dance of Death (with vampires in it, Prelude, Nocturne and Elegy) - the latter has high slash content of the very attractive kind ;) And an Elisabeth genfic about Sophie's death: On Silent Wings.

And while I'm fyrie-less and bored, I also have more Vox invites than I can shake a stick at. I already gave out 6, have 2 in my account at this point, and each time I get rid of them, a few hours later I have more. So if anyone should want a Vox account like mine, drop me a line and I'll send you an invite as soon as I have it.

I have no idea what Vox is, exactly, but hey, why not? ;}

Kinda like blogger. Good multimedia integration, so in your case it might be a good place for a fanart blog :) What e-mail should I send the invite to?

[shisakura.livejournal.com]

Ohh, sounds interesting then :} And sakurazuka@ainoyume.net is fine, thank you! XD

[trobadora]

If you still have an invite left, I'd like to have it. doratrobadora [at] yahoo [dot] de

[winter]

Sent :) You got my last one of the current batch. Now let's see how long it takes before they give me more...

[trobadora]

Thank you! I'm not sure how much I'll use it, but it's good to have secured my name. :-)

:P Can't leave you alone for 4 hours and you get bored...

And that's with me sleeping for two of them :P

Speaking as someone who currently has four invites (God knows why Vox thought sending me official invites is a good idea) and never even signed up for the thing - is Vox worth registering? On first glance it looks cluttered, so it wasn't high on my priority list so far.

[winter]

It needs work, but I do like the no-nonsense multimedia integration - posting images, music and movies (the latter from YouTube) is the work of a click. There's also an attempt at an LJ-like social network. There are quite a few bugs to iron out, including the fact you can't respond to comments, but for a photo-log or music-log, it looks like a good place to be.

I guess it's time then to grab a user name.

*pokes* You have invites and didn't tell me? *feels left out*
Oh well... if you think it's worth it give me a poke.

[carmentalis.livejournal.com]

Forwarded one so you can have a look. I took one look at the service and didn't think of it any further, so it more or less slipped my mind.

[alice_montrose]

Didn't get it, but my Yahoo mail seems to be a bit wobbly currently. I get LJ notifications but not, for example, YSI notification. I suspect it will get here eventually.

[carmentalis.livejournal.com]

If you didn't get it by morning, let me know. I have two left, so I can resend.

[alice_montrose]

Will do. YSI notice just got here, so it's probably an hour delay or so. *glares at Y!Mail*

I can always use more places to stash random photos and such. Invite, please, when you have some? Email to my LJ name at LJ.com will work. ^^

[sukeban.livejournal.com]

If you don't mind, I had a leftover invite and sent it to you. (^_^)b

[shiroibara.livejournal.com]

I mind not at all! Thank you very much!!

[amamiyarin.livejournal.com]

If you still have the Vox invites, yes, please. XD

Something you might try is putting some ice cubes in a Ziplock bag and setting the bag down over the places on your computer surface which heat up the most. That might cool things down enough to allow you to use the machine for video and graphics (at least for a little while).

I haven't got that desperate yet, but if this heatwave holds, who knows :) It's not supposed to be 30-degree all the time in bloody Poland, that's for sure.

[ariss-tenoh.livejournal.com]

If you have an invite left, send one to arisstenoh at yahoo.com?^^

[winter]

As soon as I get more invites :)
