So I've spent the better part of every week for the past six weeks in a deposition. I think, in fact, I've spent no more than a single day in the office at a time. This is pretty amazing, given that in prior months I had maybe a week of deposition time away from the office, tops. The down side is that I will be working this Sunday to draft motions and write reports and do other housekeeping type tasks. The up side is I've been all over the place, I've been able to chat with jonah777 in between questions, and my hours rock! Monday I learned I was desperately needed in Milwaukee/Des Plaines, and at 11 pm I was on a plane and off to the Midwestern heat wave. Gah. Fortunately my friend S--also my houseguest this week!--drove me to SFO. I was looking forward to Friday in the office (time to do some work, Friday social hour) until I hit Denver. Denver has figured out that wifi is supposed to be free, but the idiots who designed the "new" airport somehow thought that two outlet plugs PER GATE were sufficient. Were they on drugs? In DIA I learned I would be headed to Pittsburg (CA, thankfully) today. Okay, I'm flexible. The ever wonderful don_negro picked me up at OAK and fed me some hard cider and chili before I crashed. Fortunately S is the BEST houseguest ever. She ran the dishwasher, folded my laundry, and left me some Charles Chocolates. YUM! This morning I vaguely overslept, since Potter was in a cuddly kind of mood, and had just enough time to shower, drop documents at the office, and obtain coffee before the deposition started. TGIF people, seriously. We ended after 5, which put me home after 6, though I stopped at BART to drop off a San Francisco-based attorney who was without wheels. I then napped with Potter, which was delicious. Seriously, some hotels have lovely fluffy beds, but there is nothing like being HOME. The evening was frittered away playing Dark Cloud, drinking Murphy-Goode wine (they didn't even consider me for their PR position, FYI), and petting the cat. Life is good. (Did I mention it is payday?) Next week was supposed to be three days in the office followed by two in Auburn/Foresthill, until the already swamped trial team lost a motion today and needs all hands on deck. Hence I'm taking another deposition for the first three days of the week (in town, thankfully) before heading out East. Busy, busy, and business is good. Tomorrow is the firm's annual summer picnic. I'm planning to sleep in, then figure out what foodstuffs I will be taking with me to the noon pig out. I'm not going to stay too late, so I can manage to hit II* at Blazing Star in the evening. I'm sure midnight will find me one tired girl. Sunday I'm sleeping in, and headed to work so I don't miss any of this week's deadlines. Hope this finds you all well.

Title Modification to how friends (and ex-friends) are managed Short, concise description of the idea Currently anyone who friends you or you have ever friended appears in the Add or Remove Friends matrix. It seems to be impossible to change the colors of ex friends without re-friending them. Also the table gets cluttered by LJ names that are defunct or will otherwise never be used again. Full description of the idea On the Add/Remove page I changed the colors of all old (ex) friends as a reminder why they were ex-friends. (Dark gray meaning "missing in action", Orange for "argumentative annoyance", etc.) I didn't realize until after I'd done it that changing the colors RE-friends EX-friends (some of whom are still on LJ, but I really don't want to refriend -- makes it a little awkward if they have notifications turned on, eh?) I thought as long as I didn't check the add/remove box next to the account name, it would not affect the f-status.
Also, the table gets cluttered with dormant accounts after several years -- "dormant" in this case meaning A. the LJ page still exists, but the user clearly has moved on years ago, or B. you have no intention of ever friending this anonymous person who friended you, or C. they were un-friended by you, but for whatever reasoon haven't removed you from their f-list.
As far as I can tell, there's no way to remove accounts from this table unless the account holder deletes the account him/her self. If there is a way, please tell me what it is.
Would it be possible to do the following: 1) Allow color changes WITHOUT changing the Friend Status? 2) Allow color changes to custom filters en masse? 3) On the Add/Remove Friends and Set Custom Color page, have a way to segregate (or even remove completely) dormant and ex-friends? An ordered list of benefits
- 1. Makes it easier (and more likely) users will use custom color feature, and easier to organize one's LJ page and custom filters.
- 2. Declutters the add/remove friends page -- especially helpful if you have a large f-list or have been on LJ for years.
- 3. Lessens possibility of accidentally re-friending someone you were only too happy to un-friend in the first place. (Probably happens more often than we like to admit.)
- 4. Gives us AR types who obsessively color-code everything a thrill. (Only half-joking.)
An ordered list of problems/issues involved
- 1. If inactive friends were removed from the add/remove friends page and someone wanted to re-add a person, they might have to go to more trouble than one little click -- but, come on, how lazy is that, really?
- 2. Would probably totally mess with the profile page friend classifications. I see the need to show who has friended someone on the profile page and to have a way to add them -- just not all jumbled together in the same matrix on the Add/Remove page. I don't know anything about coding and table links to know how big a headache this would be.
