Does anyone know how to make a friends-list filter?

ginmar wrote me a fic snippet, post-Empty Places. Because I asked. Go read it and smooch her.

24 last week was interesting and dramatic, but had serious problems in logic and believability. This whole coup thing could not happen, not that way. And also, this idea that wee need to "surprise attack"? Unless it's Israel, which has nuclear weapons, I hardly think there'd be much difference between a surprise attack and a forwarned one. No difference at all, except in diplomacy. So their reasoning comes to me a pretty silly.

But the prez Palmer was cool, and Jack's always hot. And I like all the scenes around the CTU and their inner workings.

Go to the little "..." next to "Friends" under "Your Journal" on the left side of the screen. From there, go to Edit Friends' Groups. Then create a New group and name it, add and remove people to/from it using the little arrow buttons, and voila! :)

we''lll of course I haven't seen 24 yet, but I can say in Millitary terms, a surprise attack is always preferable to a forwarned one, even againts non-nuclear powers.

Of course nowadays with the cost of intelligence gathering coming down all the time it is nect to impossible to actually pull of a surprise attack!

If you use an LJ client, it's pretty easy to make a friends filter -- in Semagic, you look under "LiveJournal", then "Edit Friends" and follow the insructions to set it up. Then, when you post, you choose "Custom" and pick which filter you want to use. The client also populates the filter up to LJ.

hm. That sounds wonderful, except I'm not accessing from my home computer. And I'm daunted by the idea of installing an LJ client on all 80 computers in the Open Media Lab at school, where I am now.

But thank you; I'll keep that in mind for later when I have home internet access again.

Usually, I'd agree. But in the situation presented on the show, their reasoning is pretty flimsy.
