Another year, another LJ panic. Welcome to 2009.

I'm not linking to that ValleyWag article because I don't want to link to any article that shits on the LJ userbase for being unique, rather than just some dumb frat kids.

I guess I'll make a backup, and this time I might even start a spare backup journal and use semagic blah blah blah. I just wish fandom would import LJ's free code and move somewhere to run off a server run by fandom. (Except, that would be even less stable than being run by Russians.)

Even though I really doubt LJ is going anywhere -- we're just not going to get new updates. Which should please everyone, because god knows the userbase hates updates and changes. Maybe there'll be even LESS wank in 2009?

Amen!

I should probably figure up a back up myself.

InsaneJournal seems like the better choice, but everyone else seems to have a GreatestJournal. If I were gonna go get one, I'd get a JournalFen because that's run by fandom...

[kiss-me-cassie.livejournal.com]

Well, I was thinking more like just to my laptop, but... yes. :)

I think I have an insane journal, to be honest but not a greatest one. Or journelfen, because, well, don't you need an invite or somesuch? Still IJ can rescue me of Armeggedon occurs.

This is why I double-post to my old Xanga account. Just in case. Tho it wouldn't hurt to have a backup on my PC as well...

[skywaterblue.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm def. going to take one to my spare HD. (I should back up the Xanga too, as it's my high school diary.)

[darkblackghost.livejournal.com]

Xanga has a backup feature? O.O

[skywaterblue.livejournal.com]

I think there's an LJ backup modified to do it.

THANK you. *shakes head at Valleything*

(And ha, come to think of it LJ should be thrilled getting less updates.)

... it wouldn't be hard to make money here to keep it operating, I think. Brad used to do it. It's just that it's not the sort of money they want to make, advertising books instead of booze.

inorite?

Fuck 'em... I like that we're special! I'm going to think positive so I won't even back up... not that I have a clue how to do so anyway ;-)

[skywaterblue.livejournal.com]

I'm feeling lazy so I haven't done it.

Wait, what's going on?

LJ had layoffs today and consolidated some jobs in San Francisco with SUP in Moscow. Basically, they claimed it was economic (and maybe it is) but I think it had to do more with cutting some more of 6A's dead weight.
