Thanks to everyone who came out for the Halloween show. There was all kinds of chaos leading up to it, and the Fire Marshall made us take down the biggest and best decorations before Tuesday night, but everyone looked fantastic, and it was a great night. Aside from a glitch during Encephalon’s set, there were no surprises, which is always a good thing.
(Except for Will, who’s boycott obviously doesn’t extend to the cake.)
I’m going to be playing Dark Rave in Toronto tomorrow. I have no idea what time, or what I’ll be playing, I just know I’ll be in the main room. Be there or be… somewhere else. (Edit: Looks like I’ll be on from 1:00 AM to 2:30 AM or so, in the main room.)
In other news, I’m thinking about shutting down my LJ. I might setup a website on one of the countless domains I keep buying and doing nothing with, or I might just move house to Vox, the new LJ-like service from the owners of LJ. It’s what LiveJournal would’ve been if LiveJournal was made today, instead of five years ago.
…which is what it is, I guess.
If I end up migrating there, I’ll post a link. Any of you who want a new community-oriented site, you should
I was thinking along the Vox lines myself. I’ll have to go read-up more about it.
If owned by the same company I wonder if they will attempt to bring them together – update from LJ over to Vox. Like updating an OS, enable you to bring certain settings with you. Friends, communities, etc..
Then again, perhaps they wish to keep both for competing communities… All I know is ‘no’ to myspace. I fought going to MSN for years and caved, I hope I don’t do the same again.
Yeah, it’s by Ben and Meena at Six Apart. They did TypePad and Moveable Type previously. You can currently crosspost to Vox and TypePad, no Vox/LJ crossposting functionality yet, but I imagine that’s pretty high on the wishlist.
i’d move over
but all my friends are still on LJ
its kind of.. comfortable here i guess?
we’ll see what the future brings.. if the 2 intergrate together, maybe i’ll look into it then :)
countless domains I keep buying and doing nothing with…
haha, so it’s not just me! :P
Exactly. I just picked up my username, as I enjoy continuity, but I doubt I’ll be moving anytime soon. Maybe never.

I am there, Very cool and way better than LJ. Hopefully they merge over and can LJ, it is over anyway….
I’ve set up an account there. I’ve been thinking it’s time to retire this one for ages.
just signed up http://t0yb0x.vox.com/
nothing there though ;P
hey! halloween was awesome, seriously. it was amazing seeing so many people in costume, holycow. :D thanks fer makin me a judge, too, heh. if i hadn’t stayed, my stomach wouldn’t STILL be hurting today, so, uh, yay. :P
next time it’s like that, i think we need to have a group photo, haha. :)
I started the migration there..lemme know when you start posting in Vox..I like reading what you have to say.
Em
I don’t like vox like I like lj.
I find it doesn’t have the same community feel as we do over here.
Give yourself time – I think you’ll come back
what about dorkottawa, you can’t abandon that, you know you need it.
you know you waaaaaaaaaaaaaaant it.
No, it doesn’t have the same community feel; it’s a very, very different feel.
I’ve never been a big fan of the LJ format, though. I think the nature of ‘friends’ lists and the comment system serves to encourage high-frequency low-content posts, and trivializes the content itself.
*stands and watches the exodus, sadly waving bye-bye in her little footy pajamas, clutching her teddy bear*
Nooooo!!! Unky Jai! Don’t LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAVE!!!!!!!
*grabs on to your leg*
No! You CAN’T GO!
wanna see my puppy?
OMG that reminds me i am totally showing you this ‘what famous television puppy am i’ quix! It really communicates what i as a person am about!
I would guess that actually, they’re going after more of a blogspot place in there cyberverse… but with more multimedia
HEY! SOME OF US LIKE HIGH FREQUENCY/LOW CONTENT.
and cake.
oh god, delicious cake.
whatever, go to your cooler website.
we don’t want you anyway.
geez, in fact i hate having you on my lj and reading your stuff.
…but, uh, could you leave the cake? kthx.
I liked your websites. They were creative and inspirational. It was a better picture of you rather than just text.
Thank you, Debbie. I liked them a lot too. I miss them.
i miss them too…
Nice… vox uses Right Now for their help pages. hmm…. wonder if they changed the default login… :)
