For those that've missed it: LiveJournal: The Russian Bear Slashes a Social Network ... I expect some folks will panic, but I don't believe it's anywhere near the "It's dead, Jim." stage of things. Not yet. Those with largish journals should probably be archiving things as a matter of course, though.. I'll be running LJArchive tonight (again) as a backup, but it's something I do fairly regularly -anyway- so it's not out of the ordinary for me. It's not the first bump that LJ has hit, and I honestly don't believe it'll be the last. It's survived all this time and I expect it to continue to do so.

Ahh, so I'm not the only one to feel that way. [LINK] Nice to know I'm not the only one that's not running about screaming about the sky falling. Backup and then shut up. Sounds like a plan. :)

In other news, the clinic I get therapy at is being a bit dickish. Not sure where that's gonna go but it's got me more than a bit peevish. In general this hasn't been a spectacular couple of days.

In RO news I -still- haven't managed to get past the damned Wizard test. I'm in dialog with the support folks; the workaround that's supposed to kick in hasn't yet, and I've now tried the test a whopping 29 times. Annoying, to say the least. Kami's been a HUGE help; without her assistance I'd have given up.

*mutters* And now I'm gonna try for a nap.

Yeah, the whole Chicken Little thing is getting annoying quickly. I agree...backup then shut up. Do regular backups on your journal if you want to save it, and don't worry about it. There was life before LJ, and should it finally end at some point, there will be life after it. It's a convenient way to communicate with folks, but we'll all survive.

This is a good reminder to do my backup though, as I've not done one recently. Have to do that tonight...

I'd be sad if LJ up and disappeared, but it wouldn't be the first service I saw the bitter end of.

I was a one of the section leaders for the Spinning and Weaving section of the Fibercrafts Forum on Compuserve. Kept the forums neat and tidy. Moved off topic threads. Promoted discussion, etc... Did that "job" for nearly ten years. We were all volunteers there. Then Compuserve sold all its crafting content to Better Homes and Gardens and they up and closed us down. And now when you say Compuserve, 90% of the people will give you the "huh? WTF is that?" reaction.

I'd miss LJ if it wasn't here because it's just so convenient to see what a group of friends has posted in one spot than to have to go to various personal sites. I love reading bad_service and some of the knitting forums as well. But life would go on.

How does that phrase go? The only thing that is constant is change.
