A Couple Items of Interest

Guillermo Del Toro will no longer be directing The Hobbit. Io9 lists lists a few ideas for who might work instead.

For all those that have been having problems with LJ for the last few days, the reason is here. I had wondered why it was so bogged down, and thought others might want to know.

Also, you might want to run a virus check after visiting LJ for any length of time. For the last week, I’ve been getting tons of cookies and a few bits of Adware—my scanner’s managed to catch everything, but it’s only when I’m on LJ.

I say do a quick scan just to see if you're getting anything here--just in case.

I looked through the dw_news posts at one point, and there was no mention of a high number of cookies (35 in 30 minutes on LJ, one time) or Adware because of anything--however, in the comments to one post, I believe someone actually mentioned the problem and never got a response about that. I don't know which post now, though.
