Livejournal
From 2006-2008 I had a public-facing Livejournal account at http://pnijjar.livejournal.com . For seven years I procrastinated in migrating those posts here.
Livejournal was an embarrassing experiment. It cost me at least one friendship. It also taught me that enabling comments on blogs is a bad idea.
Speaking of which: this archive is lossy in the sense that I have not migrated the comments here. I thought about doing so (and I think it would have been possible if not straightforward) but I do not own the copyright to comments written by others. It is probably for the best. I link to the original entries in these posts if you really want to see comments.
Didn't this happen last year?
