EDIT: OK, that was an Farscape joke. If you watched the series (which would mark your age) back on the SciFi channel and now broadcast on Pivot, Crichton had this issue with a neural clone inside his head. So Crichton created a cage in the form of a dumpster to cage the douche bag in. Needless to say Harvey didn't appreciate the dumpster at all.
The dumpster sure as hell did tho.
EDIT EDIT: Holy Crock, talk about a comeback from a negative karma after clearing the mud. Thanks gang!
It’s possible I said this to you before but http://www.dreamwidth.org uses the old LJ style/platform and has more of that community feel that LJ did back in the early 2000s. I recently switched to DW because LJ got bought out by a Russian company. I think it’s a husband and wife team who run Dreamwidth and they send out updates about the site periodically. I like it a lot.
They even have a function somewhere in there that lets you import your entire journal. I did it right before they shipped over to Russia and I had over a decade's worth of writing.
Great blog post, and also told me about a tool I didn't know about, namely binwalk.
Also useful to me was this comment:
> Buildroot (http://buildroot.uclibc.org/) will build you a gcc that emits ARM code. It also builds you a kernel and most everything else you need for an embedded system. Expect a full build to consume about 15-25GB disk and take "a while" :)
Oh, and also, the site on which this blog is hosted, Dreamwidth Studios, seems interesting.

http://www.dreamwidth.org is a good place! You make an account for your character and look around journals like http://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/ (NSFW RP prompts there sometimes, so be wary of that if it's not your jam).
- Mod flair etc is green on a dull red background. You're already aware of the issue, but I just want to point out that it's hard to read, not just a clashing issue.
- Selected comments in RES show up as white/light grey text on a white/light grey background. (See pic.) Same issue as the TSW sub.
- Looks like comment replies are also white on white?
- "Use subreddit style" is just... a white box. I only know what it is because I clicked to find out what the checkbox did. If you fix nothing else, please fix that.

EDIT: Y'all did fix the quotation issue from the old sub, so good work there. Also, while I dislike this recurring favoritism for the Templars, the dark red with white/grey text seems to be a little lower contrast than the almost-black and light grey text on TSW subreddit.
A possible issue--the swirly icon that is being used next to posts reminds me an awful lot of the dreamwidth logo that they use by posts and official community posts. Not the same, but combined with the red color on the main page of the sub, I really thought I was somewhere else for a moment when I first checked it out.
With that wheelchair, I bet she's always tardy to class.
Sorry, should probably give more guidance.
It's a livejournal style blogging site, normally. But there's a big community of people on there who roleplay from different fandoms in RP games. You basically make an account for your muse (character) and then set it up with icons and what-not and then either join an open community or apply to join a closed one as the character.
Here's a good bunch of communities to check out on there: http://www.dreamwidth.org/interests?int=roleplaying&type=C
Livejournal is still going, just less so. I do prefer Dreamwidth, because it's less focused on monetizing the experience.
AO3 really is a delight for looking up stories. Such great tagging and organisation features...
Tumblr is...different. I have to admit that I like it for being the sheer id of fandom. It's all just "photo meme love photo new meme animated gif reblog eye candy joke nonsense nonsense nonsense". When I'm home from work, and I don't have two brain cells to rub together in deep discussion about media, Tumblr is just...incredibly restful.
If you're looking for episodic discussion of things (less on the fandom side), MetaFilter FanFare has been an absolute gem. $5 gets you so much conversation, and not just on TV shows or movies!
(I do wish Reddit had a bit more fandom and fanfiction discussion, but I think I'm just missing out on some of the smaller subreddits. But I have /r/korrasami, and that's just adorable.)
Raging was the wrong move there. All you have to do is use the runner as bait for ambushes and flank attacks or headshots. His death is almost certain, but you can also almost certainly down 1 to 2 because of his reckless distractions. He will learn through death or he will ragequit when no one saves him. Either way, problem solved.

My default (only) icon on dreamwidth, which I forgot I had because I haven't logged on in years. Most of the other images were things from my tumblr because it's the same name.
I agree. I've tried to write on my blog for years, but it is jaunting, because fiction (and even essays) feels really different from the normal journaling I do.
Eventually I started using a wiki. For simple stuff, I recommend DokuWiki. If you want to get fancy, or work with a community, MediaWiki is pretty awesome.
I am a fan of self-hosted software, but since you are publishing your fan-fiction, Dreamwidth is worth mentioning. They are LiveJournal expatriates, with a commitment to diversity and creativity. =]
