Non-work related stuff
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009 12:54 pmFirst of all, it was good to see that the sales ranks on Amazon.com have returned, but I don't really buy the explanation an employee gave, although that might be because I am too ignorant on how their categories work. It would make sense that a French employee who's come down with the stupid mixed up "adult" and "sexuality", but only if books like "Heather Has Two Mommies" were listed in the category "Sexuality" - which, as far as I can see, it isn't. Unless they used the tags, which, seeing as how they're user edited, would be downright idiotic.
But I guess that that explanation is the best we will get, so I'll have to be content with that, I guess. The whole affair makes me rather uncomfortable of Amazon, though. Why have sales ranks at all? Why filter anything? Why filter only non-"norm" sex? This entire thing remains highly dubious.
Second, Crocky is awesome at picking gifts. A present from her arrived in the mail today, it's the first volume of LFG. <33

( And third, some recent WoW endeavours. Feel free to skip - it's a way for me to keep track where part of my free evening went during the last days )
Apart from that, I am off to try and bake bread with fresh yeast rather than the dry variety I've been using. I love fresh bread, the smell, the taste, the feeling of the dough. I'm thinking about trying this bread
