A test of a poll... but I may well act on the answers :) (NB: OpenID users should be able to vote too — let me know if you have trouble.)

Name one thing that Kake should buy and eat from Ocado this weekend:

openid works just fine. And I like the fact it has an obvious "change your vote" link (I know how in LJ, but lots of people don't).

P.S. Hi. And don't forget the eggs and some nice bread to go with it :)

[kake]

I've ordered the bacon you recommended, plus two boxes of eggs because they were on special offer :)

What is this 'copy-and-paste' of which you speak?

...Asked hairyears, who is on a train to Darkest Somerset, and maintaining contact with Civilization on the iPants.

Also: polls look better on Dreamwidth. I don't know why LJ doesn't display results on-demand inline with the parent post and comments.

Well, the straightforward answer is "because LJ doesn't have the code patch for that, & DW does, owing as how that is one of the 500-and-something bugs that's been fixed" :)

(More generally: these days, volunteer code patches aren't being applied that often by LJ, as I understand it, and that sort of thing isn't a priority for whatever small number of devs they still have around on the payroll.)

Score 1 for the volunteer ethos. Or more. LJ and their capitalist overlords seem unaware of the loss of goodwill, and the associated costs...

Still, I have serious concerns about the long-term viability of DW: volunteers can get things started, but the track record of non-commercial social-networking sites is very poor when it comes to scaling up beyond the first million, lasting beyond the first three years (when everything's routine and the code is stable), and surviving the first negative publicity campaign - or lawsuit! - from religious wingnuts using 'protect the children' as a cover story for censorship of an open and non-discriminatory community.

Overall, I am enthusiastic about Dreamwidth, and I would've been happy to participate in the development and testing; sadly, the site doesn't run on Visual Basic for Applications, so there is very little I can do to contribute.

There may be useful information here: http://dw-biz.dreamwidth.org/ about future plans & where Mark & Denise see things going in the future.

Do you mean that you click on a poll question and get the responses shown on the same page AJAXly?

LiveJournal has been doing that for a while now. (Maybe you had blocked JavaScript there or something?)
