Quickest OS X solution for backing up my LJ?

[digitalemur]

Okay y'all, tonight I wanna back up my LJ, since it's what all the cool kids are doing. What's the easiest OS X solution for that?

PS: If the LJ layoffs were karmic payback for my having laughed today when I heard that CDigix was shutting down, I am SO SO SORRY.

Another friend just posted up this:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80934&package_id=244373&release_id=646096

I've not used it, so I have no idea how good it is.

Wouldn't LJ give some sort warning before they sank completely? Also, wouldn't one of the internet archives have backed things up? Perhaps not in the best format possible, but the information would still be there, right?

Well, I used ljdump, the utility mentioned in the entry that r_ness linked to. It was straightforward and took me just a minute. But I assume you probably saw that, so is there a reason you're looking for something else? E.g. something that doesn't require you to use Terminal?

There's also the xjournal solution, which I just did-- instructions here:

The script makes you a nice index.html file with the names of all your posts in it. :)

Here I thought it was my fault for wishing I had some polite way to boot someone off my reading list that's making me freaking nuts (no one you'd know).

I've read a few articles that seem to say "it's not as bad as all that" so I'm going to just back up things for the sake of posterity and ride it out.
