Leaving use.perl

So, to those of you who are leaving use.perl for shinier (if not greener) pastures - where are you all going? Having everyone in one place with one user interface was ever so convenient, even if the user interface doesn't have rounded corners.


I'd assume they all moved on to their own blogs

Or twitter, or facebook, or all of the above.

Someone should create Planet Perl to aggregate them all.

It's simple (read: somewhat limited), but it has import/export, lets me use my own DNS entry and styling, and generally just works.

even if the user interface doesn't have ...

Rounded corners wasn't the big reason.

The "feature" that keeps logging me out on (what appears to be) random page refreshes, the fact that logging me out caused comments to collapse into a unreadable mess, and finally the text area being a tiny little hole to try to type a long-form blog post or comment into sent me running back to the Movable Type install I had on my own website. That way at least I know that the person behind the installation is motivated to fix the issues I encounter, or at the least I know I'm responsible for my own mess.

I'm Mostly Blogging on my LiveJournal Tech Blog

I've been mostly blogging on my tech blog, which is technically a LiveJournal community. I tag all Perl-related entries with the "perl" tag. On the link I have some aggregated blogs - one of them for all Perl-related stuff. The LiveJournal solution works for me, but is not ideal. For example Technorati refuses to index this blog because it's an LJ community.
