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 know! :\ Fingers crossed for me too, but I guess backing up isn't a bad idea either, you know? *sigh*

Yes, a very sensible idea indeed! And I might also save all my memorified fics into a word doc or something, though I have hundreds and it will be kind of annoying. But it's taken me years to collect all those awesome fics, so I guess I should!

OMG, I just pressed some weird thing on my keyboard and now this message is typing out backwards, wtf?? If this comes out looking strange, it's totally not because I'm an idiot. Well, much. XP

If it helps, I'm fairly sure that if LJ were to go away, people would be given a fair amount of time to back things up before LJ closes shop.

LOL what? :| *pets* :P

<33333333333!

Yeah, that's true. And I'm pretty sure that it's just one of those things where it's a big panic over nothing.

LOL, the comment came out fine, so I sound like an idiot! But seriously, something weird happened and everything was suddenly right-justified in the comment box and what I was typing was coming out at the start of the sentence! I dont even know!! It was scary!!!
