And if LJ does go foom?

[dvandom]

Looking over the most recent 25 entries, I don't really see much that needs archiving. Most of my posts are of the "look at this thing over there I did" variety, or vapid observations on this and that. What I'd really miss is the community aspect, the web of people I'm connected to. And I like the way LJ sets up friends list pages, with the ability to make it the entire window and not just a sidebar somewhere amid the "we're a portal to everything!" layout that most social networks seem to favor.

Obviously, I'm pretty easy to find if LJ goes foom. But you might want to make a note that I have a gmail account (same ID as LJ and everything else I do) as a backup "everything just went to pot" address. I don't check it a lot, but I do check it at least a few times a week, and if LJ does detonate I'll definitely check it for refugees. :)

This is new to me, is LJ likely to detonate?

I hope it doesn't go foom, but I will miss reading the flist if it does.

Is there an easy way to archive LJ entries? I have an awful lot, and there's some sentimental attachment. It really has been my journal for several years now.

On the other hand, I'm not about to copy/paste several hundred entries.
