Feel free to tell me/blog about it! I've heard both are interesting, but I haven't bothered with either yet.

I second the suggestion to blog about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :}}}
I’m glad to see all the interest! :o I’ve thought about writing about all of this in a half-decent manner, but it’s just getting around to properly exploring, as well as writing things down. I’ve got a few screencaps on my blog in the proper tags.
I’d thought of talking about my foray into LambdaMOO, but people are a bit wiggy about privacy ever since My Tiny Life was published, so I don’t want to be disrespectful of the rules because I have firsthand knowledge of why they’re there (well, if reading the book counts.) I don’t think people would mind talking about the actual exploration; it’s likely more the “blasting out info about people/the community” that is problematic. So it goes.
fwiw I’ve thought about having a separate/more “professional” traditional blog and/or website, more connected to my irl identity. It just hasn’t happened, and I’m starting to think maybe it’s best to keep it under a handle for community purposes.
