LiveJournal are bringing back basic accounts! SUP have just done the improbable and actually *listened* to their userbase!
They want to plaster them with ads, of course, and there are four complicated proposals that i can’t get my head around. Not that i really care much, so long as they don’t put any ads on the [...]

It is with sadness that i reflect upon how great LJ once was, and how much i miss it.
I wrote a little letter to Brad. I made some spelling mistakes in it, which unfortunately i can’t edit now, but this is what it was supposed to say …
Dear Brad,
I am having a solemn afternoon, reflecting [...]

And now i hear LiveJournal, in their infinite wisdom stupidity, have dreamed up ANOTHER account type!! Just a way of cramming a few more advertisements into their site! Whatever were they thinking?!!!
And what was it they said a couple of weeks ago about three account types being too complicated when signing up? Idiots! I wish [...]

I know there are some LJ people who read this, so you might be interested to hear about this:
One day LJ content strike on Friday
I’m not actually sure whether this will make much difference, but it might be fun to do anyway, particularly if it encourages people to look into migrating elsewhere.
Here is a nice [...]

Brad Fitzpatrick was against the removal of basic accounts.
Makes me wonder what the advisory board is for really, if advice gets ignored!
Also, OH MY GOSH, this comment from January 2005 is stunningly prophetic.
“it will be about 2 years before major decisions start being made that are not the ones that Brad and the other officers [...]

Why is it that LJ can barely ever make a single news post without doing something stupid and irking everybody off?! I think they love the drama. I bet they have board meetings going, “What crazy thing shall we do this time to annoy everyone even more than last time?!”
This time they have made a [...]

And it’s all kicked off again over in LJ-land, reminding me strongly of the climate in which i left LiveJournal, and making me all the more glad that i did. Now i can just sit back from a distance and watch everyone battle it all out, point out the many inconsistencies and shortfalls of this [...]

In this exciting day and age of dispersing away from LiveJournal, i have come up with a plan.
I will post in this blog alone. At the moment i’m not sure whether i will post in communities.
Anyone is welcome to follow the RSS feed, syndicating it on other journals if they wish.
I can use Bloglines to [...]

I have had a very hectic day week year. We had to do a demo today on the new version of our software, which really isn’t very reliable yet, and i felt awful, letting our product manager go into the demo not really knowing whether the demo would work or not. It relies on network [...]

I learned once, in the context of spirituality, to ask myself the question: “Is it possible that there is something i do not fully understand … the understanding of which could change everything?”
I think that could apply to this LJ/6A situation too. Having just read The terrible secret of Livejournal i think i have just [...]
