Tried importing my LJ to DW. Tried twice, actually. It imported everything but the entries. If LJ goes down, there goes everything from 2004 to mid-2015.

This is not my week for smells. Amazon delivers the order I put in last night-- obviously had stuff on stock, unlike Canadian Tire which will show you all the details and then inform you it's on backorder. So I get my laundry hampers and electric knife sharpener in record time. And lucky I went out to empty the recyclables into their bin or the box would have sat on the porch until late tomorrow afternoon. But then I became aware of a pungent sweet smell. The other side of the box is soaked in something: not any of my purchases, but somebody's something oil had clearly broken in the van. So I put it back on the porch to air in the 80 clicks per hour wind gusts and went to have a shower.

Weird weather today. Thunder rumbling gently very early in the morning, then wind blowing in a warm front- up to 16C/ 61F after a week of just above freezing, then more wind blowing in a cold front and temps falling right back down, and either sleet or freezing rain or snow or all three tomorrow. May explain why I've been so stiff all day in spite of stretches and muscle relaxants and hot bean bags. At least I managed to sweep up the dust elephants in the bedroom, that show so clearly in the March sun, and the detritus on the kitchen floor even if I didn't manage to wash same. I really want a cleaning service but the furnace and the optometrist and the house insurance has siphoned up my excess cash. And there's still ongoing rehab coming in at over $200 a week for the next month.

I use LJ Archive to keep an offline copy of my Livejournal. I've used it for some years since there was a panic about LJ disappearing. (Not the move to Russia, an earlier panic.) Recent changes to LJ's servers means it no longer downloads comments, but it preserves posts with the formatting and images and allows you to read and search them offline.

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

Googling suggests that this is an app, not a function of LJ itself?

It's a rather old app that you install on your computer. You fill in your account details and then it will connect to the LJ server and download the entries. It doesn't run automatically, so every so often you need to remember to start the program so it will update the archive.
