By the by

I've also been posting at Google+ and Diaspora* for a while now. Mostly crossposts of the same stuff as here, but perhaps people would rather use those other sites, or get an invitation to Diaspora, where the main obstacle to being a more exciting site is a lack of users in its alpha state. Which is easy to fix if people want to try a more user- and privacy-centric social networking site than Facebook or Google+.

Blah! I flee now! *vanishes into the distance*
