Almost five years to the day I started this LJ, I read that it might be going POOF ( Read more... )

Sadly, LJarchive isn't available for MacOS. And I don't think I'd get very far asking the IT people at work for permission to install it on my office computer. :)

Bah, you only need it for 5 minutes or so. :)

LJArchive has the option to export the entries and comments as HTML, as well as XML. You can divide up the archive according to entry, month, or year.

I'm a little demoralized at the prospect of porting my entries...

Wow. Do you actually have a job? ;)

Huh? I see nothing on the LJ main page about this.

Granted, it's not the final nail in the coffin (and some of the numbers are wrong; apparently only 12 or 13 people were let go), but LJ's future appears a bit shakier than it did 24 hours ago.

Whoa, they had more than three employees?!

I've been using LJArchive for a couple of years now, mostly as a backup because I'm paranoid about losing 8 years' worth of journal entries. Its search feature is also handy, since I don't let Google catalog my journal.

Didn't know it could do an export, however. Handy!
