Just when I was making myself at home...

LiveJournal ... has cut about 20 of 28 employees — and offered them no severance (spotted via nicnac). As veterans of the last dotcom crash know, websites have a nasty habit of disappearing overnight, leaving a deafening silence in the void.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd highly suggest backing up all entries, and figuring out an alternative solution for blogging, just in case. Which is a huge shame, because the friends-feature on LJ is something I just have not found anywhere else. Any suggestions for backups or alternatives?

Anyway, in case the Nostromo signs off, I'm also to be found on almostwitty.com

UPDATE: Backup options available from LJ, LJBook and LJArchive

UPDATE 2: The end is not yet, in fact, nigh. at least not yet.

What do I think?
I think I will probably have a major breakdown! This is my place to leave MY fucked-up world and enjoy everyone else's for a bit. This is my place to spout off ridiculous thoughts that enter my head, and keep track of my life considering my memory is one of the worst ever created.
*sigh* I don't know what I would do!

There are other blogging providers, of course ;)

Naturally, but I am also a creature of habit, which makes things difficult at times. I've been here since '02 or '03, switching to something else would be pretty frustrating for me.
