ListYourList is back, baby! it was down for a few weeks as it was being switched from my server to shane’s. he and i had talked about this at least a month ago, but now it’s finally real.

this switch is just one more facet in my effort to simplify my computer use. it just got to the point that i didn’t care to work on it anymore, but i didn’t just want to never see it again. i was thinking that i might try to give it away, hopefully finding someone who wanted a ruby on rails project but couldn’t come up with an idea. i was thinking about this outloud and shane volunteered. vunderbar!

so at this point, it is no longer a concern of mine. i’ll probably still post a list on it occasionally, but i have erased it from my mental list of responsibilities.

i was reading this post on kottke last night, and it got me thinking about ListYourList. when i first launched the site, i was all over the place: commenting on this list and that list, posting this list and that list, writing on the developer blog, adding this feature and that feature. i don’t think it’s a coincidence that when i stopped caring, everyone else did too (no offense given or taken). i stopped hosting the party and everyone left.

if i had really cared, i would have been on there everyday for months, i would have been telling everyone about it, i would have been flyering, i would have been obsessed. i think i had dreams about polishing the shit out of it and then taking it to sxsw2007. that would be lot’s of fun. who knows, maybe it’ll still happen.
