(See?)

That pretty much sealed the deal that I’m not going to use anything else unless LiveJournal does something really stupid. And in their 8(?) years of existence, that really stupid thing has been continuing to exist in a data center that gives you a solid 24+ hours of downtime once a year.
But they have rectified that this year!

The last paragraph was very anecdotal and tongue-in-cheek and I didn’t really mean it. Every service makes mistakes, no one is safe.

I think the biggest reason why I’m leaving is the fact that WordPress is a great publishing platform, but it’s seriously lacking in the “community” aspect. Sure, WP has the tag surfer, site-wide logins, multiple authors per blog, but that’s just scratching the surface.

Sure I can roll my own aggregator, but, I dunno. I’ve never really done anything with this blog anyways, so it’s not really that big of a deal to me.

6 years and about $275 (not necessarily all paid by me), LiveJournal is my now-permanent home. I love your progression WordPress, but I’ll be next door. Thanks for all the work, keep it up.

Copy arbitrary text to clipboard, via flash

I hesitate to use this, because I can see a big big reason why this would be a horrible thing, just the ability to screw with users’ clipboards randomly/arbitrarily.

What is IRC+? – IRC+ project site

IRC+ is a new standard for IRC services. Services will be forced to use similar replies, easy to parse by a script, IRC client developer or botmaker.

It will make it possible

* To not try to remember difficult commands. Even a newbie will be able to chat in IRC.
* For the client to be able to understand what services want.
* For the client to be able to show all services messages in locale-specific language.
* For the client to be allowed to create useful scripts, such as a password manager.
* Secure MD5 auth will protect your password even over SSL-disabled connection
* It is backward-compatible. All old clients will be able to continue with services as usual.
