signs

(Longer posts still failing.)

There are signs, for a few miles of highway, for "[My street] detour". Must be some other part of the street; I haven't seen problems. I haven't been curious enough to follow the signs, but I think there are much more direct routes than what they're doing. Hmm: "detour" sounds kind of similar to "deter", as in "you didn't really want to go there, did you?".

Seen on a truck: a sign for Loafer's bread. Cute.

Seen in Regent Square, a shop called "legume". ??? Pretentious food? Pants? Does it amount to a hill of beans?

Legume appears to be a nice restaurant featuring organic and locally grown foods. They were closed when we passed by today, having just had a non-organic but sinfully tasty dinner at D's six pax and dogs (all spelling sic).

I am able to post regularly. I am a freeloading member currently, and it seems especially poor that they aren't taking care of their paid users. I hope they fix it soon.

Legume (or, as their sign says, "legume"): thanks! I hadn't considered a restaurant. (It appeared to be dark when we drove by too.)

LJ: It appears from reading the support board (there's better info there than what LJ posts publicly) that at least part of the problem is from blocking certain IP addresses. I just saw a message from someone who can post from her school but not her home. So what stops them from, at the very least, white-listing static IP addresses from paying customers? I understand that they're dealing with a heavy load of badness here, but they are not doing a good job of supporting their users (some of whom are paying custmers). I realize that now their biggest customers are advertisers, but still... (Remember the claim that paying customers got the better servers, as an intentive to buy accounts? Not seeing much of that either.)
