noahgibbs: Me and my teddy bear at Karaoke after a day of RubyKaigi in HIroshima in 2017 (Default)

It's a little odd that LJ will show you when people make friends-only posts even if you can't read those. I suspect I'm not the first to have noticed the phenomenon, but it's an odd tucked-away feature (nope, not telling you how if you haven't already figured it out). The quantity of such posts can still be an interesting indicator of a person's mental state, even if their contents are unknown. Hrm. I wonder if my non-friends can tell how shallow I am based on how few friends-only posts I make :-)

In other news, yesterday's dinner was a glass of Guinness, a few french fries stolen from Brian (thanks!) and a slice of chocolate mousse cake. I made it through the day, including large amounts of dancing, thinking and motorcycling on about two hours of sleep. I've been getting significantly too little sleep lately just in general.

My body has remembered how to be young. I don't know exactly when it forgot, but I'm damn happy that it remembered. I no longer feel like what I did in college is faded glory and I could never do it again.

That said, I *did* get more sleep last night, which is good. Especially since I'm unlikely to sleep much tonight :-)

How does it show you?
I've been making a lot of restricted posts, because I'm going insane and don't feel that everyone needs to partake in my insanity. Augh, I'm going sooo crazy.

I'm not telling :-) But I suspect somebody else will before long.

It's something I discovered by accident. I *will* say that it requires no manipulation of URLs or other trickiness, you can get there using only a couple of standard mouse clicks and forms available from the person's journal page.

I have a suspicion, but I need someone with locked entries that I can't see to test it. Hmm.

Yeah. I dunno what exactly that tells you though.

Darn you for letting me know about that. Now I have to be nosy and look up all my friends to see what they are hiding from me.

"It's a little odd that LJ will show you when people make friends-only posts even if you can't read those."

Yeah. If it's not simply an oversight, then I'd guess it's mostly the extra computation that would be required to make that page view dynamic based on one's logged-in status.

[shrug] Or maybe someone on ljDev was just lazy.
