Here’s what I’m going to do…
# Photography will go to “Flickr”:http://flickr.com/ because I enjoy the community it offers.
# Until Flickr gets a more blog-like interface for displaying photos, I’ll still post photographs to “revjim.net”:http://revjim.net/ from Flickr along with commentary.
# Tips and tricks on Photography will go to “revjim.net”:http://revjim.net/.
# Photo of the Day entries will go to “revjim.net”:http://revjim.net/ (if I ever have another one).
# Crush of the Week entries will go to “revjim.net”:http://revjim.net/ (if I ever have another one).
# Technical notes and commentary will go to “revjim.net”:http://revjim.net/.
# News and Politics will go to “revjim.net”:http://revjim.net/.
# Positive life updates will go to “LiveJournal”:http://livejournal.com because I enjoy the community.
# Mentions of Local Events that you might be invited to will go to “LiveJournal”:http://livejournal.com.
# Negative life updates will go to “LiveJournal”:http://livejournal.com but will be filtered from the public view.
# Most deep introspection, talks about sexuality, or venting issues of personal turmoil will go to “LiveJournal”:http://livejournal.com because of the security and community, however, they will be filtered from the public view.
# Positive talk about work will go to “LiveJournal”:http://livejournal.com (revjim.net if it is Technical in nature).
# Negative talk about work will go to “LiveJournal”:http://livejournal.com and will be filtered from the public view.
# Interesting links will go to “del.icio.us”:http://del.icio.us/ because of the community and ease of use.
“revjim.net”:http://revjim.net/ may be altered or updated to break its various materials into various sections of the site (photography here, technical stuff there, etc).
“revjim.net”:http://revjim.net/ may also be altered to include snippets of other information from various sources, to serve as a common place to funnel all data published by yours truly.
In some cases, the filtered entries made to “LiveJournal”:http://livejournal.com will also be posted publically on other websites or under other “LiveJournal”:http://livejournal.com user names. This is to be a part of a larger community while still retaining an anonymous nature.
Items posted on “revjim.net”:http://revjim.net/, including images from “Flickr”:http://flickr.com/, will still be cross posted to “LiveJournal”:http://livejournal.com/ for the time being. They may cease at any time, in which case, you will be notified of alternate methods of keeping up with that content.
Links to pages and images will be broken with reckless abandon. I just don’t care about it any more.
In the end, this is what I will have:
# A website, “revjim.net”:http://revjim.net/, that is both family and work friendly. This doesn’t mean there will not be unsafe words, topics, or photographs posted there, but simply that those things are things I do not mind my co-workers or family to read.
# An account at “Flickr”:http://flickr.com/ under the user name “revjim”:http://flickr.com/people/revjim/ that will hold my current photographs as well as archives of my older photography. “photos.revjim.net”:http://photos.revjim.net/ will be brought down once the data is moved from it to Flickr. Images here will be considered safe to be associated to me by my family and co-workers.
# An account at “LiveJournal”:http://livejournal.com under the user name “revjim”:http://revjim.livejournal.com/ that will hold updates to my life, silly memes, and announcements of local events. Some information there will be public. Other information will be private. It will be safe to associate that account to me by my family and co-workers.
# An account at “del.icio.us”:http://del.icio.us/ under the user name “revjim”:http://del.icio.us/revjim/ that will hold various links, both technical and personal. All of these links will be safe to associate to me by my family and co-workers.
# Various other “LiveJournal”:http://livejournal.com accounts, “Flickr”:http://flickr.com/ accounts, “del.icio.us”:http://del.icio.us/ accounts, and websites that will contain information that is *not* safe to associate to me by my family and co-workers. In some cases, it may not even be safe for all of my friends. Some of this information will be made available as filtered information in “LiveJournal”:http://livejournal.com under the user name “revjim”:http://revjim.livejournal.com/.
Through this hodgepodge of software and syndication, I hope to have all information safe to identify to me by anyone mentioned, or linked to on revjim.net. Additionally, I hope to have it available in LiveJournal somehow. Further more, I hope to have all information only safe for select individuals to identify to me available in LiveJournal somehow, as filtered content.
It’s easier than it sounds. Moving stuff around is a bit harder, but not so bad when you stop caring about broken links.
This is effective immediately.
Let me know if you have any questions.
