sophiaserpentiaIf I'm stuck here, I might as well learn how to minimize loss of existing and future entries. Several of you recommended backup tools, in comments to an entry that is now gone. Could you please repeat those recommendations?
So far, the "LJ Backup Tool," "LJ Book," and "ALJ" have been recommended, but I would like to hear about additional options if they exist.
When I DLed and installed the LJ Backup Toolkit, it didn't work, I got an "application failed to properly initialize" error (or some BS like that) so I can't comment on that tool
As for the LJ Book -- I'm not particularly interested in having all of my entries (1000+ of them) glommed into one monster PDF file that will probably be too large for my computer to open.
ALJ I haven't tried yet (as I got too frustrated last night to work with it), but it sounds very time-intensive. That would be fine, if it saves my entries.

Date: 2004-07-12 10:00 am (UTC)since i work on several different computers, with different access levels and different OS's everyday, and the library(s), i need LJ or something equivalent just to get my notes straight.
