This post should appear at 9am on Friday, will it?

nope

[rmc28]

you don't know that it won't *also* appear then :-)

[naath]

ahahahah, that's because I got Friday's date wrong. Silly naath. Anyway, basically works. When I remember the date.

Writing your own poster?

[naath]

Nothing so complicated. Just want to schedule "people with birthdays today" posts for when I'm away.

Only for confused values of "Friday". ;^b

[naath.livejournal.com]

That's confused-by-me fortunately not confused-by-software.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Maybe, but given the evidence currently available, I'm not betting on it :)

Did you find a way of posting/emailing delayed then?

[naath.livejournal.com]

Yep, but I'm bad at dates.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Oh! So it did work perfectly! For some reason I assumed you'd tried to post it just now and it hadn't delayed. Did you find a non-gmail solution?

[naath.livejournal.com]

No, this is using the gmail delay send thingum. I'm sure I could make chiark delay sending mail, I mean, it's the sort of thing I'm sure you can do when you have access to all the gubbins. But I'm lazy.

Ooh, does this imply one can make LJ posts by email? I'd assumed the delayed post thing was an in-LJ thing, possibly app rather than website.

[naath.livejournal.com]

Dunno? I'm using DreamWidth's post-by-email doodad and forwarding to LJ.

[ghoti.livejournal.com]

Oh I always forget that everyone else is on DW. Thanks.

Well, it says it appeared at 9am on Thursday.

[lysystratae.livejournal.com]

It shows as 3 am Thursday on my feed.
