[coalescent]

Hello, world. Did you miss me? I missed you.

Admin note: I've had a fairly substantial friendslist prune. Hopefully I haven't mortally offended anyone (if I have I apologise), but I needed to get things at least somewhat under control. LJ being what it is, I'll probably add back half the people I've currently dropped at some point, anyway. I've also mostly stopped using lj for syndicated content. So if you have a non-lj blog I probably haven't given up on it, I've probably just subscribed using Bloglines instead.

There may even be actual content later today, you never know.

Old school swirly thing alert!

[coalescent.livejournal.com]

What I really need is an animated swirly thing that I can hypnotise people with.

Or, you know, not.

[hawleygriffen.livejournal.com]

Welcome back. :)

[coalescent.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :)

[flickgc.livejournal.com]

There must be actual content later - we've missed you!

[coalescent.livejournal.com]

Heh, thanks. I'll see what I can do. :)

[tinimaus.livejournal.com]

OMG! It's the new and improved Niall(TM)! Now with wonderswirl-technology and only half the low-level radiation!

Nice to see you back. Was just thinking about you this morning.

[coalescent.livejournal.com]

Ah, the swirl's been around since the start. I've just not been using it much recently. :)

[tefkas.livejournal.com]

Welcome back - I'm about to finish Diamond Dogs, Turquoise Days, incidentally. Review forthcoming, methinks...

[coalescent.livejournal.com]

Cool. I look forward to it.

(And no, I haven't read Chasm City yet. :p)

[frogworth.livejournal.com]

I'm currently reading Century Rain and it's brilliant. I'm an Al fan anyway, but the writing and the ideas here are just dazzling. Hurrah!

Welcome back, sir. Now I can expect proper logged-in replies to entries instead of this Anonymous Niall guy ;)

[veggiesu.livejournal.com]

Welcome home, dude :-)

[coalescent.livejournal.com]

I could make a Stephen Baxter reference at this point. But I'll restrain myself. :)

[veggiesu.livejournal.com]

Nah, its your first day back - indulge yourself :-)

You know I won't understand it anyway :-p

[coalescent.livejournal.com]

No, no, honestly it's fine.

Can I interest you in some cake, instead?

[veggiesu.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes you can.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, cake :-)

[zihuatenejo.livejournal.com]

Hey welcome back, been up to anything fun?

[coalescent.livejournal.com]

Oh, just this and that. You?

[sdn.livejournal.com]

oh, and thanks for not pruning me! i feel honored.

[coalescent.livejournal.com]

You sent me books! Nobody who sends me books ever gets pruned. :)

[alexmc.livejournal.com]

Phew

[sdn.livejournal.com]

ha! you fellow book-sender!

[alexmc.livejournal.com]

did you go somewhere?

:-)

[ajp.livejournal.com]

Welcome back...

[hawkida.livejournal.com]

Welcome back.

we did

[chance88088.livejournal.com]

YaY! welcome back!

[tizzle-b.livejournal.com]

You've changed your layout (right?). It's... not as colourful as your OldSkoolIcon.

[tizzle-b.livejournal.com]

Oh, and hi.

[coalescent.livejournal.com]

I have changed my layout, well done. Actually, I quite like it!

[frogworth.livejournal.com]

Oh, wait, there's something different... It's... you've had a haircut haven't you!
No? Er... oh! The layout's changed, yeah right.

[coalescent.livejournal.com]

Well, actually, yes, I have had a haircut since I was last here... :p

Welcome back!

[applez.livejournal.com]

Glad to read you again!

Re: Welcome back!

[coalescent.livejournal.com]

Good to be back, dude.

[radinden]

Ah, welcome back, sir. I've had this on ice pending your return: User Friendly goes where coalescent went first - gormless!

[coalescent.livejournal.com]

Heh. Although I don't know the characters well enough to know if the strip is poking fun at the guy who doesn't know what it means (i.e. ME) or the guy who's being all superior (i.e. YOU). Which of us should be insulted? :p

[radinden]

You did read on the next two days? Stef, the guy asking, is the marketing dweeb, while the techies are of course the good guys. So it's poking fun at neither of us, but at people who need the swift application of a clue-by-four... ;)

[coalescent.livejournal.com]

I didn't, but I have now. Those rascally sysadmins.

[sclerotic-rings.livejournal.com]

Don't sweat pruning me: I'm used to it.

[coalescent.livejournal.com]

I'm still following your public entries--it's just that I was finding that if I had you on my friends page everything just went past too quickly for me to keep up.

[blzblack.livejournal.com]

I did. I'd hoped you were okay.

[coalescent.livejournal.com]

Pretty much yes. I just needed to spend some time sorting out my Real Life. Good to be back, though.

[snowking.livejournal.com]

Hey bizatch.

[coalescent.livejournal.com]

Word up, homie.

[huskyscotsman.livejournal.com]

Welcome back!

[kittynic]

Phew! I survived the cut.

It's great to see you posting. :)

[i-ate-my-crusts.livejournal.com]

Nice to have you back :)

We missed you!

[ang-grrr.livejournal.com]

Heya.
