I’m sick of Livejournal and the bullshit there… I’m thinking of keeping this as my main blogging home in the foreseeable future, and paying for upgrades here rather than on LJ. My paid time expires soon and I’ll likely let it go and only link an RSS feed to x-posting for anyone who wants to keep up with me.

Anyway… I should get back to work but I’ll be around somwhere on the blogosphere.
