the end of livejournal

I'm done with LiveJournal. I had thought I should hold out for my 11-year LiveJournal anniversary, but why pretend that I still use this site?

I saved a personal, private backup of everything I've posted -- 3,794 posts, not including this one -- and then deleted it all except the first postFirst, the why: the internet never forgets, but that's ( Read more... )

Your blog is (was) one of the most interesting blogs I've read on livelournal.

Thank you! I hope to continue publishing things on the internet, just not with this site. I put a feed up on neugierig.org that I hope to feed other stuff into.

I just use mine to read the people I care about who still use it.

I'm coming to the bay area in march, I would love to meet up with you if possible.

I'm glad we became friends via live journal yo.

You both are awesome.

Sorry to see you go.

Can you provide a feed already for wherever you will be posting next? Or post a notice about it here when you’ve set it up? If I can’t have it pop up in my news reader somehow, I at least am likely to miss it. And I wouldn’t like to.

Sure, I stuck up a feed on neugierig.org. Hope it works!

Excellent - thank you for taking the time.

Likewise, come to Vancouver some day. We have a place, and you'll be welcome. I'll try to find you sometime when, or if, I'm in your neck of the woods.

Another Vancouver vote.

Evan:
I never did get to meet you in person. Just Brad, Alan & Hachi, all from work on MogileFS.

Consider it yet another open invite if you're ever in Vancouver :-)

When I set up persistent.info in 2004 I imported a few programming "journals" that I'd kept starting in 1998. I recently re-read a large chunk of them, and though in some ways embarrassing, it was also a nice trip down memory lane. On the other hand, since the content was purely technical, I'm more confortable with it still being publicly available, IIRC your early LJ content was much more personal.
