about that damn time

Another whole week already. There’s been quite a flurry of activity (both real-time and virtual) this week, so make sure you’ve read everything!

And now, for your reading pleasure, the Friday Five!

1. How long have you had a weblog?
Since May 4th, 2001. Strangely enough, my very first blog entry ever was … a collection of Top 5 Lists, since Bill was in this “High Fidelity“-obsessed phase at the moment.

2. What was your first post about?
Oop, already answered this. Next!

3. How many changes (name, location, etc.) of your weblog have there been, if more than one?
Only two actual locations, but many, MANY names. At first I was at sleepingpants.blogspot.com, and then I was at scylla.blogspot.com, and then I moved over to aliciadawn.com. As for titles, I only wish I could remember them all. Recently, I was some other beginning’s end and before that I was these endless days are finally ending in a blaze {and we will walk through the fire} and before that I was I will not watch the ocean … I dig those obscure song-lyric-based titles. OH - and at another point I was BOON MEE!!! due to a late-night sleepy conversation wherein I discovered that I shared a high school alma mater with someone named Boon Mee. It was only funny because I was tired.

4. What CMS (content management system) do you use? Do you like it or do you want to try something else?
I started out with Blogger, which I really liked. It suited my needs - I wanted something free and relatively simple, and I didn’t want to have to host it myself. Now, I’m using Moveable Type, which is wonderful. Yuki convinced me to move over - and with Mickey and Jet (and whoever else is in charge of the BIGBOX) they’re kind enough to host me. As for MT, it’s a breeze.

5. Do you read people who have both a journal and a weblog? Or do you prefer to read people who have all of their writing in one central place?
Hm. Everyone whose blog I read keeps it all in one place - that is, of course, with the exception of Benlau. He’s got this one as well, and I don’t mind reading two. Mostly because he’s so darn funny.
