[BRIEF NOTE] Something obvious

You'd think that I'd have figured out by now that you shouldn't go into crowded student pubs in Tornoto on the very night that the Toronto Maples Leafs are playing a game; or, at least, that I shouldn't expect to understand or be understood in such a loud environment.

[BRIEF NOTE] LzheYuzery

Via somewhere, I've come across the startling announcement by Livejournal administrators in the lj_biz community that in the near future, Russian Livejournals will no longer be supported by Livejournal, but rather by a Russian company, SUP. This isn't so startling as Livejournal's definition of "Russian."

* What criteria will be used to determine whether a journal is "Russian" or not?
It will be a combination of if you write primarily in Cyrillic, have listed your location as a country from the former USSR, or use a Russian browser.

To clarify: Livejournal accounts based in Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, Bosnia, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, or in any of the Caucasian or Central Asian republics will be considered Russian enough for a Russian company to support them. Livejournal accounts based outside of Eurasia with largely Cyrillic content will be considered Russian enough for a Russian company to support them. Users can opt out of this process, but if they don't it looks like their accounts will be automatically transferred over.
