One thing I still miss on FB is the ability on Livejournal to post a different user pic for each post. Worse, if I repost an LJ entry to FB it loses that user pic. Oh well. I kind of still prefer LJ, even though FB is sort of more useful these days.


BTW, in case you just landed here:

You could also check out my Soundcloud pages -I have two, one with some little examples of my classical guitar playing, like this Prelude by Ponce. Nobody ever follows internet links unless they are Dailymash ones, but there you go. You could have a listen. I also have another SoundCloud page there with more electronic/experimental/electric guitar doodling. Do go have a look.

One little thing I don't quite understand about Facebook: every now and then I see posts by friends in which they make a big stand about some issue (and very often one that I'll agree with, but then that's the social media echo chamber at work, isn't it) -something that seems to be addressed to the whole world, calling for action or denouncing something. Only thing, it's a restricted post that only their friends can see...
No, not Facebook strangeness, more like people strangeness.

Finding out there is an anti-vaxxer in my FB friends' list. This is a bit disturbing, if not entirely surprising in this particular case.

Also there is somebody who seems to believe that the CIA and NASA run a world-wide conspiracy of disinformation. Apparently the lunar landing never happened and all the space news we get from NASA are made up, to take our attentions from .... er, not sure about this bit, I really can't get my head round the rationalisation involved in his thinking. Takes all sorts, I s'pose.
Orlando Gibbons wants to be my friend on Facebook?

Presumably not _the_ Orlando Gibbons:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlando_Gibbons

since that would be somewhat spooky; there is one common friend so I think I kind of know where that comes from although I'm 100% sure I don't know this person (and very nearly as sure he wasn't born with that name, but that's his own business). There also seems to be a jazz player called that.
