uilos: And that's why I make you cook lima beans. Because you are capable of putting them on to cook and leaving them there.
Me: Well, yes. That's what the directions say to do.
uilos: But how do you know they're cooking if you don't poke at them and stir them?
Me: Because the directions SAY they're cooking.
uilos: You don't know that! You have to DO THINGS to make them cook!
Me: No, the DIRECTIONS SAY... how did we end up with duelling OCDs[1]?
uilos: I don't know about you but I don't have OCD.
Me: ... I am totally telling LJ about this.

Riss trusts recipes, but doesn't generally bother to follow them; she'd prefer to wing it, and it generally comes out quite well.

However, she lets me do the baking. :D

Incidentally, I'm impressed that this journal relay thing you have going on relays LJ-based comments to DW automatically with OpenID.

Sadly, it's not quite automatic; I have to tell it "go import comments now." But the OpenIDness is kinda nice.

I wonder if DW would be ok with someone setting a daily cronjob to do imports. Hourly? I also wonder if they'd be willing to set up scheduled mirroring as a [paid] feature.

I keep thinking "I should read up on the suggestions process and submit 'scheduled import of comments' as a suggestion, since I cannot be the only person who runs into this,'" and not quite having the motivation to do so. Talking about it with someone else seems to have kicked that into gear, though, so, thank you!

Suggestion responded to by denise with "yep, it's already in bugzilla but nobody's claimed it yet." So, yay, and someday.
