MultiLJ - A Multi-Window LiveJournal Client

[raven_multilj]

I've just released a new LiveJournal client for Windows, called MultiLJ. Its defining feature is that the user can open as many windows as they need - journals, profiles, post editors, and so on - and they will be hosted internally within the program. There is no dependency on the user's default browser, nor is the user limited to writing only one

Does this allow one to be logged into multiple LJ accounts at once?

I like your LJ icon.

Also, me and my horde of sockpuppets also want to know the answer to this question.

Thank you. It's totally gankable if you want.

The short answer is no. The long answer is that I'm not sure how the protocols would allow being literally being logged onto more than account. Now, one thing that is theoretically possible under the protocols (for example) is to send in a post under one username, and then send it in under another username. But that could get potentially messy.

Make sense?

On the one hand, yes - you can use challenge-response, which is what I was alluding to. It only gets messy from the programmer's point of view, keeping track of who you are at a particular point in time. On the other hand, at least insofar as I was able to tell during development, cookies are broken - I had to do a little magic to get around that problem to get my browsers to work right.
