re: LJ download for archiving:
I am on a mac, so I downloaded ljdump, I get a folder with three things in it on my desktop:
ChangeLog ljdump.config.sample ljdump.py
what do I do?
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

I just got an error message that should go in the Vague And Useless Error Messages Hall of Fame.
"The iPod could not be synced. The required file could not be found."
(Fortunately, restarting iTunes seems to have located the required file, and all is now well again.)

Ah! I've gotten that same vague and useless error message! But I hadn't tried restarting iTunes and retrying. Hope it works for me, too.

msbelle, this page helped me do it with LJDump....except then I don't seem to actually have a useful way to LOOK at what I downloaded to my computer.
LJSM would seem to be more useful in its output, except that I tried to run it, got errors, and then read in the comments of that link above that another user on 10.4.11 also didn't have the correct libraries loaded (er...whatever that means) to properly run the thing.
LJBook would appear to be the *prettiest* of them all, but is way overloaded, right now. And while I'd be willing to donate to them, I'm a bit puzzled from their page, on how that works, and why I'm supposed to do so in Euros.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
xjournal's working for me, even if the format is a bit odd to my experience.
Does anyone know a good way to find one's posts to communities, without digging through all of whatever? Or is that one of those things that ought to exist, but doesn't, really?

I just ran LJArchive without any problems, but I could hardly be said to be a power LJ user.

Give me a reason I should download Firefox or Camino even though I am perfectly happy with safari except for the fact that my employer's paystub website can't deal and maybe can't deal with anything but the latest IE but I'm not sure?
OK, so I should probably see if the damned site renders in something.
