you know what Mad-Eye Moody used to say...

[slumber]

If you've been living under a rock, you should probably know that LJ has laid off a lot of people, and basically, people are either saying it's the end of LJ or that people are just getting spooked all over again.

The funny thing is, it's actually GJ that bit the dust. :|

Well, whatever, I would rather just make sure I've got my LJ backed up properly. So I remembered my password for insanejournal (username, by the by, is also slumber, which is also my handle in journalfen), and now I am shopping around for a good back-up program. I'm using a Mac, and I'd prefer it if the program also imported comments from the entries.

Flist, any good ideas/suggestions?

ETA: I have started friending some of you on IJ, which I did oh-so-systematically by friending one person I knew in IJ, and from that person's flist, looking at who else I knew, and from there, well, you get it. :| Haven't backed my LJ up there yet, but yes. You may also leave your IJ/JF username here and I'll get to friending.

I'm not sure if works with Macs, but LJArchive worked well for me -- it's easy to navigate entries and comments. :)

I used this, LJ Migrate (Mac friendly). It won't transfer the comments to IJ, but it will copy them to your computer.

I always use LJArchive. I think if you do a google search for it you should find it.

I'm going to add you on insanejournal, my name is wenelda over there too.

I haven't done this either. I deleted all my GJ bookmarks today. I didn't know there was a version that worked well for macs! Thanks!

Hopefully LJ is being truthful with us that they are just reorganizing and not going anywhere. But we know not to trust them completely!

I don't want LJ to go away!! I have all my neatly organised memories here!! And other important things!! I'm am crossing my fingers and assuming it's all going to blow over!!
