July 2008 Archives

I have basically stopped posting here due to the fact that I simply cannot find a decent cross-posting solution between Movable Type 4.0 and LiveJournal. Earlier this year I found myself unable to simply walk away from using my LJ as my main blog; the community I've built up there over the years is too strong. It's home. (And one doesn't move house simply by walking defiantly out the front door one day.)

I have been regularly posting to The Gameshelf and the Appleseed blog when I'd like to put on a somewhat more "professional" voice to hold forth about game studies or software development, respectively. The Gameshelf's managed to pick up more than a handful of subscribers, relieving some of the self-consciousness I've felt earlier about having "only" an LJ account, versus a fancy-pants, running-on-my-own-domain blog.

Now, I could make my own damn MT-to-MJ plugin, but I just don't have the resources to spare right now. There are too many higher-priority things on my plate. (Appleseed, for one thing. And then there's Project X.)

So, this blog takes a nap (and I get to definitively cross out the "research cross-posting solutions" item from my to-do list). I'll re-point the "Journal" link on jmac.org to my LJ. Should I come across a cross-posting solution later, I'll babble about it over there, and then posts will start appearing here again. I also reserve the right to repeat truly earth-moving news about myself and my affairs here, should any arise. Until then, good night and good luck.
