I've updated my blog.

This one.

Anything worthy of posting, I'll be posting there from now on. Posts here will appear but rarely. I realize this will be inconvenient for some (all?) of my LJ-hound friends, but as I've mentioned before, I am not particularly enamored of the social dynamic potentially (!) created by LiveJournal. I don't like that friends-lists cannot be hidden, and that it's potentially hurtful to someone if I don't list them as "friend". I don't like worrying over whether to lock my posts, and wanting to create a different custom group for every locked post I do make. If there's private info I want to share, I'll share it individually. I like hosting my blog on my own (host's) server space. Et cetera.

I know there's a way to cross-post private bloggage to LJ, but don't really have time to figure it out. I think there's a way to make it an RSS feed, but again won't bother with that. If you'd like to read what I post on there, please bookmark it. If not, I promise to not be offended.

(Note: this is not an "I hate LiveJournal" post. I actually quite like it. I just want to have my own thing. And possibly cut down on feeling obligated to read my "friends" page.)

Hello!

[hermesbrain.livejournal.com]

I initially stumbled onto your journal in reference to a thread in _sunyata's journal with regard to your culinary expertise. After poking around a little, read your review of Espen Aarseth's Cybertext (which it inspired me to order). I concluded a) that you were an intelligent, skilled writer, and b) that aside from having interesting friends, we share a mutual interest in computing, linguistics and cognition, among other things. So I thought I'd add both you and your RSS feed, and introduce myself. Don't feel obligated to add me back if you don't care to, just wanted to say hello. :-) Nice meeting you.
