Three years
I just noticed that this past Tuesday was the third anniversary of the start of this journal.
A lot of things about the journal have changed since back then. Among other things, I explicitly noted in that first entry that I wasn't going to provide a mailto link on the journal page; which reminds me that I've been meaning to mention that I do have an email link on most pages of the journal these days. So if you want to send me mail, you can just click that link. (If you're reading this in LJ, just follow the link back to my journal first.)
