Does anyone read LJ any more?

swehI've decided to finally create my own blog. https://www.sweharris.org/ is the URL. Why, you may ask?
Well, firstly I want that blog to be a bit more professional. So mostly it's just going to be tech oriented. I've taken some of the content from my old site, some of the posts I've made here, and backdated them to the new blog.
But also I may want to post some non-professional stuff; I'll keep posting that here. Sure, sure, a potential employer googling for me may find this site (or other sites I run) and realise I have non-tech interests (hmm; is the difficulty with typing while wearing handcuffs a tech issue? Hmm...) but I'm not trying to _hide_ that part of me, just have a blurry line.
It's not good, I know. One reason I haven't created a personal blog site before is that I like how "everything is in one place" at LJ. But fewer and fewer people update (I see more linode status RSS updates than real posts at times!) and more and more people have their own blog.
If I remember, everytime I create a new blog post I'll link to it on my twitter feed (@sweharris). And I've just told LJ to repost my twitter entries, so links will show up here. I wonder if I can automate that twitter entry. Hmm...
