This is not likely to be of interest to many people, but for anyone who used uJournal (uJ) or AboutMyLife (AML), which absorbed uJ after its demise, it is worth knowing that there has been a temporary site up at http://aboutmylife.net/tempsite/ at which one can get a very bare dump of their entire journal. For [...]
I started working on asLJ after I came across this. One of the problems that I quickly ran into was that the URLs in the tell application “<url>” to call xmlrpc … bits had to be hard-coded. That is, AppleScript didn’t like it when I tried to assemble the URL string on the fly. It [...]
asLJ is a new client for Macs running Leopard that easily handles multiple accounts on LiveJournal and other LJ-based sites and facilitates cross-posting across accounts. Release notes and download link are in aslj_client. The community for users is aslj_users. (As it is very LJ-centric, most of the information about it will be over at LJ, [...]

The reworking of my site that shows comparative statistics on every site based on the code from LiveJournal is now up and live and at a new URL: http://lj-stat.2718.us/. Moreover, there are now graphs of the data over time. The data is updated at noon and midnight central time (U.S.). One of the things that [...]

I’m currently working on an overhaul of LJ-Stat. It looks like there’s some issue in using curl_multi_exec() in PHP with too many requests at once causing some requests to fail strangely, potentially accounting for the lack of data from several sites that are clearly not down and clearly provide stats.txt. My current workaround is to [...]

I’m wondering if I’d gain anything from putting a small Google AdSense unit or maybe an AdSense link unit on the LJ-Stat page. And by “gain anything” I mean get a few cents to help pay my hosting bills. It could be relatively unobtrusive… It’s just that, thus far, I’ve avoided putting any ads on [...]
Scribblit => Inksome (but scribblit.com still works… for now? until May 10 [updated based on comment below]) CommieJournal to close May 1 unless they raise the money to cover $169/month hosting bill. (If they cover this month’s bill, will the date just become June 1? I don’t know.)

To the best of my knowledge and research, my LJ-code-base Site Statistics page (lj-stat) has the most comprehensive list of sites running off of LiveJournal’s codebase (if you know of any that I’ve missed, please let me know). The main point, though, is the comparative statistics. This is where things get strange. LJ and most [...]

A few weeks ago, I upgraded my primary server to some version of php5 (from php4). It’s been some time since I moved from php3 to php4 (even though I still have some files with a .php3 extension), but I don’t remember it being a huge change. I upgraded because there was some small feature [...]
http://2718.us/lj-stat/ is a page giving some comparative statistics on various LJ-code-based sites. The underlying data is updated approximately daily. All numbers are based on what is supposed to be the “raw” data at /stat/stats.txt, even though on some or all sites there are significant discrepancies between the numbers reported in /stats/stats.txt and those shown at [...]
