I’ve been slowly warming to LiveJournal, not because I love its interface or features, but because I have a number of friends over there I keep tabs on. I post infrequently enough to this blog, and coming up with more posts to put in a LJ seems far-fetched, at best.

Dreamhost took considerably longer than the advertised “one hour” to get the MySQL database (within which this blog’s entries are stored) online, which is why this post is at such an obscene hour of the [...]
