I got rid of my LiveJournal account a year ago. It feels like it has been more. But I haven’t missed it once. I guess that makes it into a good decision.
Year: 2012
The digests are gone
Back a few month ago I ran the poll on how much you guys hate my automated digests – daily posts that were aggregating my Twitter activity (which in turn was aggregating all my other online activity). And you guys clearly voted that you hated the digests so much. I heard you loud and clear. Since then, the digests were switched into the weekly mode, where they weren’t as annoying anymore.
Today, I am giving you more good news – I have completely disabled them. As I mentioned previously, my new blog theme now supports custom post types, such as status updates, quotes, videos, images, and links. I am using these post types now to publish directly on the blog, and then push content to Twitter and Facebook. Because of this, there is pretty much no other activity on my Twitter (except a few replies and re-tweets here and there). And thus, Twitter digests became obsolete. This one is the last one I’ll have. Until something changes again …
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Crowd Favorite for their awesome Twitter Tools plugins, which I am now disabling in favor of Crowd Favorite’s WordPress theme and Social 2.5 plugin.

staring into the abyss
Nobody can say if GNOME 3 is better or worse than GNOME 2.
A whole lot of people, yours truly included, have said that GNOME 3 is much worse than GNOME 2. That should account for something.
