Tweaks and enhancements

• As a number of you reported, a service interruption impaired sending and receiving notifications for a couple of days. This was due to an avalanche of snowflake cookies. We've removed the free snowflake cookie and unclogged the pipeline. Timely notifications should resume shortly. Please note that there's a backlog in our queues, so you'll be getting earlier notifications first. For more details, check out this post at lj_maintenance.
• In anticipation of the new year, we've embarked on a self-improvement kick to boost our backend (pun semi-intended). This will allow us to offer you a holiday promotion in the next few weeks (yes, we're listening and working very hard to make it happen). We sincerely appreciate your continued patience and support.

Holiday vgifts are here!

We've added some fantastic new vgifts to help you spread holiday cheer. We also hope you'll honor AIDS Awareness Month by purchasing virtual red ribbons. Priced at $2.99, we'll donate 100 percent of gross proceeds to IAVI.org (the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative) to support the development and global distribution of an affordable HIV vaccine.

Introducing: LJLimericks

We cordially here do invite you
To craft a fine limerick. Might you?
Each week, a new theme,
Then a poll, that's our dream
Winner posted on news to delight you!

In honor of all the brilliant writers on LiveJournal, we've created a brand new community: ljlimericks! Each week, we'll enter a handful of limericks into a poll (which we'll tuck snugly under an LJ-Cut). The winning poem will be published in the following newsletter. In addition, the author will receive a virtual blue ribbon! If you have the time, come drop us a rhyme. Please keep the "Nantucket" stuff on the downlow, since this is a youth-friendly community. Our first prompt is: Insomnia in winter.

Photos of the week

We're back with more incredible images from our global photography community. Congratulations to sempre_marseeya, who has been awarded a virtual blue ribbon as the winner of our second lj_photophile poll.

We hate to squelch your creativity, but, as a courtesy to other users, please post only one photo at a time and keep the main photo no larger than 350x350 (so images display properly via mobile and on friends pages). You can link to a larger image and/or post photos under a cut. Just so you know, we select photos for the poll blindly, based on user comments and staff feedback. Please continue to vote, comment, and, of course, enjoy. You can check out the week in pictures and view more awesome user content after the jump!

Hello all,

I'm wanting to make a fresh start next year and part of that makes a full room revamp. I've been brainstorming on what sort of room I want, but I don't really know where to start. I have a whole bunch of crap that I need to sort through rather than relying on my many boxes and draws to hide things. I really want it to look arty and creative without looking cluttered. Sadly I can't buy a great deal of new furniture, the most that I can afford to get would be a some second hand arm chairs and decorations and some Ikea textiles and bedside table.

I have a big room, so it looks cluttered with too much stuff, but I really would like a more arty yet mature style. Below is what I was thinking:

Does anyone have this table from Ikea?



How sturdy is it? Do you think it would be able to support a small television?

I currently have a bunkbed that's rather childish in design, I'd like to replace it with a wire frame bed sort of like this:
Not necessarily that, but something curly and fairy-like. Where could I find one for a reasonable price?

Also, I have a window in my room that's about 4 and half feet wide and 3ish feet tall, but I'd like to replace the blinds with curtains. Are there any stores that sell smaller sized ones?

My new apartment is hug with a teeny tiny kitchen area.. makes no sense.
I'm lacking cabinet space & an adequate dining area
where can I purchase a STURDY pub table with 2 to 4 stools?


I love this one, but it's too short.

- 40' or higher
- black or dark expresso
- all wood
- under 150$$


Show me how you've made your teeny kitchen area work!

I have a question, if this is okay? Can I see your shelves for general cluttered knickknacks, or your curiosity shelves? For christmas my parents are buying me a few new bookcases and shelf sets & I need to figure out how I want to situate them and what types look best for knicknacks - thought this place would help :)

Hello! I have no clue why I can't make a LJ cut, so here's a link to my journal where I posted pics of my room.

**FINAL EDIT Thu Dec 10 02:15:47 UTC 2009**

So there is the final update... Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything.

And finally some answers to some questions:
