It's odd when one finds one's habitual username already in use, disconcerting when the backup's bagged too, and prone to conspiracy theories when the one you last used in 1988 is also not free. But then this isn't the first time the shadowy Google organisation has decided it didn't much care for the cut of my jib.
So anyway, all the good stuff's elsewhere:
http://www.livejournal.com/users/hirez/ - Yes, I know. It's the 21st century Geocities for teenage goth girls. Rather than whine about it, one might as well try to raise the bar some. (Infrequently updated)
http://www.libeljournal.com/ - Not a weblog and not a mobile-phone-photo-thing either. It's... Definitely something. (Infrequently updated)
http://www.mysparedomain.com/ - Rambling and inconsequentialities. Or the terrible scraping noise of someone's 'hotlist' (remember them?) collapsing in on itself. (Infrequently... Oh, you know the drill)

http://www.legendsmagazine.net/ - Shiny and old and mostly other people. Contains opinions of a g*th or INDUSTRAIL(tm) nature.
