I haven't posted in LJ in a quite a while, which isn't too surprising since I haven't really known what to do with this blog and mainly signed up for the communities and to leave comments on others' posts.

Every so often I've tried going through my friends pages, which is interesting but a huge diversion! I've only been signed up here a few months, so it's not as if I have that many, but LJ is already a huge time sink.

Not that I don't like it ... In general, I'm still struggling to find a way to organize things so I can easily post on my various blogs/sites. I think Twitter (http://twitter.com/aeroG) has kind of taken over things this summer since it's so easy to post on there when you don't have very much time.

Today I thought I'd try a new strategy; since I recently switched from Safari 2.0 to Opera 9.2, I decided to try making Safari my "dedicated" blogging browser. This was made easier by the realization that for some reason a lot of my blogging sites don't play that nicely with Opera, including AeroGo (http://www.xanga.com/AeroGo) where I spent quite a long time this week writing a post on the 787 delays!

I'll see how it goes blogging in Safari and Twittering, doing other sites like Facebook, and general surfing in Opera, which is overall much better at handling lots of tabs open at the same time (until you open a site it doesn't like). It also has the advantage of remembering what was open if it crashes (which happens when you have lots of tabs and lots of thunderstorms.

Since I'll just have my own sites mainly open in Safari, it shouldn't be any great loss if it crashes. The main thing there is to save drafts every so often, since most sites - unlike LJ - don't do that for you.
