The Death of Positive Liberty

My other blog, Positive Liberty, is dead. Jason Kuznicki, the blog's real owner and administrator, has had continuing problems with domain host IPower, which included a major crash that destroyed years worth of posts (most of which has been recovered through the tech savvy of Jason's brother-in-law). The latest, and most severe problem, was IPower failing to automatically charge Jason's credit card for re-registering the domain site and failing to notify him that it hadn't, allowing professional domain hijackers to steal the site.

Jason, understandably, is tired of fighting these battles, and has accepted an invitation to join the League of Ordinary Gentlemen.

Although I only blogged at Positive Liberty for about a year and a half, I will greatly miss my colleagues there and a great many of our regular commentors. I have offered to take on the role of blog administrator, if my colleagues want to continue together, and will announce it here if they agree. However we have lost the positiveliberty.com domain, and have probably lost the irreplaceable Jason Kuznicki as well.

Please keep in touch.

In Which I Join Positive Liberty

Jason Kuznicki has invited me to join the Positive Liberty blog. As I have liked that blog since I began reading blogs (not more than two years ago--I'm always a bit slow on the tech stuff), I'm honored to join.

That doesn't mean I'm discontinuing this blog. I just have to figure out how to split myself between the two without enervating myself. Off the top of my head, I'm guessing it will make sense to direct my longer, more thoughtful and analytical posts, to Positive Liberty, and keep shorter, more visceral ones for this blog. But we'll see how it works out in practice.

So I'm feeling good about myself today, thanks to Jason, and I hope to see you at PL soon.
