I know I have a small (but hopefully dedicated) audience...

Perhaps because of the Russian LJ issue, and because of some cases I have heard recently of Google being overly aggressive in freezing people's accounts, I have taken to backing up all my posts here on a mirror blog on Wordpress.  I am playing around with the interface, and may end up moving permanently over there.  I do not know yet.  I'll let you guys know -- and if any of you have suggestions/preferences, comment.
