From the land of the REDACTED

[endotoxin]

My employer is an interesting cat. They have me censor myself all over the place and normally I'd be thinking "Y'all paranoid" but then I started getting friends requests on Facebook and hoboy they were't kidding.

I deleted my account, and then re-opened it, and immediately got spammed again by phishing attacks, so there ya go don't trust Facebook.

It's funny, once upon a time I'd consider writing one of these missives to be nothing spectacular and dash off two or three posts a day. Back in the LJ days of course. Now? it feels like I have Short Attention Post Disorder.

That brings me back to Dreamwidth. Y'all. Howdy. Thanks for being here.

I want to reconnect with people and I'd prefer to do it in a format that encourages thoughtful content. So, how do we get back into this mode? Suggestions anyone?

Marvelous, thanks! I really ought to be studying right now but I'll put this on my read-later list.

One of the things I appreciated about pre-web2.0 discourse was RSS, and sharing via Google Reader. Is this something you do, perchance?

I'm on feedly, though I've never used it as a social site and am not sure how to. I do read a large handful of sites/blogs through it though
