Goodbye, LiveJournal
After careful deliberation, I've decided to bid farewell to LiveJournal and switch to Movable Type that I run myself. Now I don't have to compromise between functionality and advertising, don't have to keep my entries on LJ's servers, and can customize the blog as much as I want.
Now my blog is at http://blog.qnan.org/philip.
Since some people don't know what a blog aggregator is, I'll add this last paragraph. A blog aggregator is a great invention that makes it easier for you to keep up with everyone's blog, regardless of whether they use LJ or some other service. And they're all more flexible than LJ Friends: they can even notify you when there's a new entry, like mail clients do. There's web-based ones like Google Reader and Bloglines, and there are many computer programs for this. Give it a try.
