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.

Point taken, but I'm taking it as a desperation move rather than a calculated one because of the suddenness and the lack of reassurances.

some of the drive for secrecy is perhaps because giving hints and giving indications gets you speculated about and possibly mocked on sites like valleyinsider. I hear Yahoo won't even tell its own employees who is getting consolidated to which offices, in towns where it has more than one office, and people are chalking it up managers feeling testy because as word leaked last month about the layoffs, people got REALLY snarky about it on sites where one discusses tech company scuttlebutt. and if it's the russian brass making the decision, well, they're not China but their culture isn't so great on management doing a good job of communicating in order to prepare the workforce for changes....

Oh, hm, I see what you're saying. Though I'm still puzzled by the judgment call of putting out a press release immediately but delaying the announcement to members while rumors fly.
