I made a really ghetto mod of LJ.NET to convert all my old journal entries to friends only. Seems there's a lack of tools out there to do this (Googling yields only a tool that used to work

I did the same but to convert friends-only entries into a specific friends group. Doing it manually would have taken hours. But it was a very quick hack and I seem to have deleted the code. But it seems like a good idea. I'd say make it a function in LJ.NET, just because it seems like it might be easier for you and would make it more easily accessable.
I’d be interested in seeing the code for this. I’ve thought about adding something like it in the past, but I already had too many projects on my plate to look for more. That, and being too lazy to figure out the proper way to iterate through the entries. ¬_¬
Heh, it's not so much of a messy code thing as an embarassingly ghetto technique thing. Not being too familar with the structure of LJ.NET--this being my first look at the code beyond a small tweak to get it to originally compile--I used the Manager dialog to get the entry list and the Post/Update dialog to make the changes, so there are windows flying everywhere when it runs. For future usefulness and flexibility the clean version will use code more adapted to this sort of thing. The current method may be too dangerous; I managed to accidentally delete my last journal entry while testing it. (Funny how if you don't properly initialize a form, its content is blank. Oops! Hence the flashing windows...)
I'll get to it soon, but unfortunately some extra crap snuck up on me at work. So I couldn't do it this past weekend as I'd hoped, but hopefully I make good use of the long weekend coming up.
