<<but that I continue to rely on media whose future is unknown at best, and short-term at worst.>>
Like how long is LiveJournal going to be around? (Don't swat me Brad!) But seriously, if the server goes belly-up so do our posts. I just read in the FAQ that there is a way to download the entries as text files -- but you lost all interactivity in terms of the hyperlinking, friends, etc.
I have a WHOLE bunch of archival stuff from my undergrad years on SyQust disks, and currently, no means to hook them up to any of my stations. I doubt I ever will.
I'm at the point now where I'm realizing the value of printing out my written works before switching removeable-media devices. :-)
