And in case you had not heard...
Jan. 15th, 2010 06:54 amRight now there's Stuff going on with a bunch of trolls vs. Dreamwidth. The owners are asking that people see to their account security (including not falling for phishing emails), continue business as usual (minus any insecure account practices), and if you have the spare money, please consider donating to a charity that is helping out Haiti (the trolling is annoying but people in Haiti are dying).

(On a personal note, if you have the money to donate, consider donating in a way that does not lock up the money specifically to this disaster. It seems like a good idea -- earmark this money to rush it to this specific crisis, help them now! -- but the organizations are surely spending out of their "PLEH PLEH EMERGENCY!!!" and general funds until the donations arrive, and if emergency and general funds are not replenished too, they may be financially unprepared for the next catastrophe.)
