friends history

[spacefem]

many years ago, we had the marnanel joule that kept track of our friends history. but it went away around 2011. in fact a lot of livejournal has changed since then

Thank you :) I remember joule from "the old days" :)

Out of curiosity, what does the number in the friends table widget actually stand for? I guess how old the journal is?

[spacefem]

you mean the number to the left, the sequential one?

that's a fascinating question! I felt like making it, mostly to check some numbers and totals, in a way it's kinda random because it's going to be based on the order livejournal delivers your friends. so your guess is good as mine.

It must be age of the journal :) The only exception is #1 is the own journal. Starting from two it's oldest firsts.

Also, the comment import function thingy seems to only cover a certain timespan. I got comments from people who are listed as if they never ever commented, but they did (even if long ago).

yeah, I assumed most people only care about their last few comments. I don't care who commented in my journal ten years ago.

you can change that ending startid to zero if you really want them all: http://www.livejournal.com/export_comments.bml?get=comment_meta&startid=0

You are my hero of the day.

Thanks!

My friends table does have that feature, you can sort by last updated:

But it is not fast, it's very slow. It has to churn through everybody one by one. So you can go grab a coffee while it churns, at least.
