When I met the selection of people around the Gallery in Cambridge I spent a few weeks idly bimbling around the little nest of interlinked websites that I could find via google. I didn't read anything in much detail, but it was nice to get an overview of the (sometimes impressively esoteric) things that these people were or had been interested in. On those grounds I'd say it would be worth publishing them if it's not too much hassle.

Why don't you just dump one a week to LJ? You could tag them as 'junk pile', and the location makes it clear that you're probably not interested in any in-depth debate over the contents...

Actually I meant 'impressively eclectic'... but esoteric too :)

I probably ought to have thought of that myself. In particular, an LJ entry is dated, which implicitly suggests that keeping it permanently up-to-date is probably not on the cards. I think part of my worry is that if I post (say) the traffic-lights thing on the web then I might feel an ongoing compulsion to maintain it, making additions and corrections in response to readers' comments. Posting on LJ would neatly get around that effect.

Moreover, you can backdate LJ entries. That way you have them for reference and they're readable to anyone curiously browsing your archives, but they don't intrude on flists or attract too much attention.

Though it would have the disadvantage that people who wanted to be kept up-to-date on new entries couldn't use the friends list feature to do so.

In which case, a separate account (whether personal or -- for ease of posting without logging out -- a [closed] community) might be better.

ease of posting without logging out

There's a "post as a different user" button. It has the disadvantage that you can't choose an icon, but that's about it.

Alternatively, LJ clients such as logjam...
