Paid for a year's account on Dreamwidth. More icons. What else? I never do polls so I don't need that. Or, do I.

Still cross-posting to LJ. If you're reading this there, I'm moving over to DW (together with, it seems, most of my LJ friends) due to the unacceptable Terms & Conditions that LJ is imposing.

More people leaving LJ for DW. And some probably will leave LJ and never quite make it to DW, not needing this livejournal thing of an app that is halfway between blogging and social networking. I hope enough of the people in my f-list do that the conversation may continue in a place different to Facebook, which had still happened in LJ in spite of the FB steamroller and the failure of all the FB alternatives from Diaspora to Ello.

This, btw, is crossposted to LJ from Dreamwidth.
I'm not likely to move 100% and close this (a permanent) account on livejournal, but given the concerns that the new T&Cs are raising, I'll probably move more towards Dreamwidth. In case you don't know this, it uses the same engine as Livejournal, run by a few enthusiasts and not under the (possible) grip of the KGB (hello, you guys at the FSB, I did mention the KGB here. Nice of you to show an interest in my LJ). At the moment I'm mostly starting posts there and cross-posting to LJ. At some point, depending on things, the latter may stop. Some of my friends have already moved entirely or partially to DW, you might want to consider that.

My address at Dreamwidth, perhaps predictably:

Maybe I should use this Dreamwidth account a bit more, given all the vagaries regarding the situation and future of Livejournal. It's

ION, finally saw a bit of that press conference yesterday. Only a bit because I found it both cringe-worthy and blood chilling.

Hmm... should I bother with Dreamwidth at all? There's practically nobody who posts here who doesn't also at least repost in Livejournal. I follow only one person here who isn't in my livejournal and she's now unfollowed me (I think I prefer the Twitter terminology rather than the rather charged 'friending' and 'unfriending' of LJ, DW and FB). And livejournal is enough of a minority interest, although I seem to have become a specialist in those, being a Venezuelan, classical guitarist, hanging out with goths, being a Mac user for 20 years (although that is much less of a minority interest now but still attracts the bile from the Apple haters) etc.

Is there a compelling reason for using Dreamwidth instead of/in addition to Livejournal?

I am wondering about this Dreamwidth account. I hardly ever post anything here that I don't also put in my livejournal. There are only two people in my list who are not also on LJ and who don't post there as well as here. It'd be an excellent back up for LJ (and free of Russian hacker disruption) except for a couple of things... like very few of my friends are here. Livejournal is already, in these facebook times, kind of a minority interest -I never managed to persuade my family and friends across the ocean to make it there, let alone here. And, yes, they're al on FB.

Will have to think of some specific use for this DW, I s'pose -I'm not going to close it any time soon, given that, few as they are, there still are a couple of friends here who are not on LJ and I do like to know how they're doing.
Week-end was generally good, although I seem to have missed on a lot of stuff happening that I would have liked to attend. Mostly just went to [livejournal.com profile] aliasrob’s birthday party on Saturday evening at the Resistance gallery -which was a blast. There will be a few pictures on my facebook, and there is now a little film clip of Adenoids playing the Kitty Song.

Today, a few lessons and the tense wait for the next round of impossible stuff from the bank -last attempt. This probably sounds very cryptic, but it feels even more so. The way banks, property developers, mortgage vendors, lawyers and the like deal with the world is, to me, arcane and incomprehensible. I’d rather make music, but this has to be dealt with. It’ll be good if I can pull it, but it looks nigh on impossible now, no longer sure even why I keep trying.

I still have a Dreamwidth invite code, if anyone wants it.

I seem to have acquired a Dreamwidth journal -muchas gracias, [livejournal.com profile] mosquetera!:)

This be here:

http://flaviomatani.dreamwidth.org/

Nothing much there yet. I do not plan to get out of livejournal but justin case anything...

Not sure whether I will also open a Spanish language one as I did on LJ; maybe would try to filter Spanish language content instead. We'll see.
