mister kitty is back for 2013

[davemerrill]

Yes, Shain and I are back to work on Mister Kitty, updating our comics THE ELEMENT OF SUPRISE and ZERO FIGHTER for your ento-tain-ment. If LJ wasn't giving me 503 errors every other minute I would have probably posted this earlier on my LJ. In fact I'd use LJ more if it wasn't giving me 503 errors all the time lately. Maybe LJ doesn't realize that every time a user sees a 503 error, the chance that user says to him or herself, "hey, maybe I should quit wasting my time here looking at error screens and spend more time at a social network that has the infrastructure to not error out alla time" increases exponentially.

LJ is becoming the dead mall of social media - big empty halls, echoing caverns where retail used to be, a few holdouts still waiting for Tim & Eric to shoot a movie there.

Speaking of holdouts I really need to start wrapping ZERO FIGHTER up. When it's all done I can tell there are going to be some changes made, some pacing changes definitely. It's past the halfway point and where I should start picking up steam towards the ending so I can move on to other projects. Like to do some other projects in the next decade, maybe.

For what it's worth, I find LiveJournal SO much better in all respects except traffic than Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc.

LJ is definitely better for long-form conversations. FB has become the default "here's what's going on right now" news from friends thing, Twitter is even more ephemeral, Tumblr is good for pix and that's about it. Long conversations on Tumblr are just about impossible.

And most of all, if you want to go back and find something from the past, all the other alternatives SUCK.

If lj is the dead mall, I guess that makes me the old geezer doing slow laps around it. /long-form forevah

Have you considered a Dreamwidth account? Has the advantage that you can import your LJ posts.

I have had Dreamwidth recommended before, but I don't really see what the advantages are over LJ.

They never seem to be down! Also no ads. And it seems better organized so far as admin goes.

There are ads on LJ?

Oh, wait, Adblocker. huh. :)
