It's about time that I gave my LiveJournal some attention as opposed to posting elsewhere online. I just changed the way the front page looks and changed some of my syndication settings so that there isn't an entry for every Twitter message I put online, but instead a single entry that is sent once a day. I have to thank the argument I had with ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) xololovepuppy on Facebook for that; I can see how excessive updates on a medium that wasn't made for it could become annoying.
In all honesty though, I'll probably go back to just using my LiveJournal as my primary way to blog, while keeping around Twitter for random status messages and Posterous for my sharing of media and quotes. All of the stuff I post on these will still be posted here, just not at a constant rate like before.
For so long, I felt that I can totally control everything I shared online by only posting on a blog that I hosted myself while discussion and the like could rest totally tangential to it on other services. Honestly though, it just complicates things. I don't want to access several different services to have discussion with those I care about online, I just want to go on two or three different sites at most (LJ, Facebook, and Twitter respectively).
I suppose this behavior will lead me to change how my regular website looks. It should really just be a collection of links to my activity online and personal projects as they come up as a result.
I hate being so meta (posting on my blog about my blog, blegh) but the point is, barring any sweeping changes to the service, I'm back on LJ for good.
Most of you probably won't even notice what's changed, or even care, but I just wanted to let that out.
ADDENDUM: Eh, screw it. The medium's part of the message, I see little point in syndicating my Twitter feeds on here. Just go on the page if you wish to see them. Each site I'm on is an island, and I might as well keep it that way. Hooray for sane entries once more. |

You could have like, you know, said something if it bothered you so much. Thank Lia for bringing it up.
i didn't have a problem until your four posts in a row yesterday, but i declined to mention them because i already knew lia had commented to facebook to you so i didn't want to beat an already being beaten horse

Fair enough.
Though for future reference, so long as it's been brought up, the first response to that sort of thing shouldn't be "OH MY GOD STOP DOING THIS, THIS SUCKS SO MUCH AND IT'S BEEN GRATING ON ME" it should be "Dude, stop". Nothing irritates me more than needlessly pent-up anger when a simple polite request can do the trick. I'm pretty receptive to what my friends have to say. | |
