Scratch that, i am sold
The public domain doesn’t seem right for me. Sure i like to blog, but there just a different kind of blogging in the private communities than there is in the public domain. ANd i think that LJ is the right choice.
I will still be as geeky as ever, and use bloglines. but as far as blogging goes, the occasional public post might occur on my LJ. But for the most part, my blogging will be a private affair.
As a result of the move, feeds might be broken, and links might change. should be expected.
From now on you can find me on Korun.livejournal.com . Add me as a friend if you want to be added, or shoot me a message.
No one ever read this any way. I never got the feedback that i wanted. But i guess it’s to be expected when your using a standalone service.
I am torn
On my way to work I was listening to Inside the Net where they were interviewing Mena Trott, co-founder of six apart. six apart started by making wordpress (this blog is on wordpress), which has since become the most wideply used standalone blogging software. they later went on to create typepad, a dulled down version but still widely used. then with all this revenue, they aquisitioned Livejournal. now with the experiance and back-end-knowledge of all 3 they are creating a new product, called Vox. and through out the whole interview they kept comparing it to LJ, while also saying that the software itself made it fun to blog.
And it just got me thinking. Have i lost the fun of blogging? i thought wordpress would bring it back, but really being in the public domain changes the experiance of blogging (vox is very private, and LJ has the option to be private). I remember in my early days on Xanga, blogging was actually fun.
So the issue i have been battling inside my head is this. I want to blog. I want it to be social, but i also want it to be easy and accessible. Right now WordPress is very easy, and somewhat accessible. LJ is very private, hence making it very social, but in itself is a whole system and community.
The main question is, do i stay in the public domain and remain remote, or do i move to LJ and remove myself from the public, while emrsing myself with my friends. There are obvious pros and cons to both sides.
So please let me know what you think in the comments.

I really wish you fuckers would read shit before you send out generic responses.
of course that got no reply. so yesterday i sent this email. i saved this one lol
I am getting tired of this half assed customer support. The only time i get any positive response from you guys is when i am reporting underaged profiles.
Listen closely to my problem. If i get another half assed response i am escalating this problem. is that clear? i will use small words so you can understand my problem.
Email notifications no work! the option is set so that i should be recieving them. it was never touched. they just stoped coming. i have double checked it again. according to my options i should be recieving notification emails, but i am not.
I do not want to change my email address, i want notifications sent to my email.
FIX IT!

About halfway through the summer and i haven’t done much except work during the week, and slack during the weekends. and theres still a whole list of stuff i want to do.
- Go to the shore, unless a certain beach is closed due to this budget non-sense
- Six Flags.
- NYC trip
- Summer movies
- Random touristy stuff
- A few mall trips. Need to make a few purchases, maybe a new mouse.
