Eeeek!

Eeek! I'm so sorry. I'm still figuring this LiveJournal thing out. I'm using the Emacs client, which doesn't allow me to do easy back-dating, and I tend to write in bursts and commit them all at the same time. I went in to back-date some of them that needed to be set back and screwed up, so some of you will see some entries over again. Sorry about that!

Most people use friend-lists to read entries, and backdating will not affect them there. So for example, if I post an entry and date it for sometime in 2000, it will still show up by posting-time in friend lists, even though in the calendar view it will be the correct date/time. It kinda sucks, actually. Pissed me off when I transferred all my old journal entries from another site over to here as they all showed up en masse on my friends reading lists even though I backdated them properly.

What platform do you use? I might suggest a good LJ client such as semagic..

If he's using emacs, it's assumed he's probably using a unix varient as his platform of choice. Any or all of the below clients may work in Elf's unix environment.

For Gnome: Drivel
Java: MobileLJ
Mozilla: LiveLizard
Emacs: ljupdate
Python: PyLJClient
Perl: jlj
Unix: Clive
KDE: KLuJe
GTK: LogJam

The laptop is Linux (Redat 7.3) and very stable.

I guess I just don't understand ljupdate well enough to use any backdating facilities it might have. It's pretty primitive code as it is, but I've learned to live with it, and it does do what I want it to, more or less. I just wish I'd understand the LJ web interface's backdating facility before I started doing the backdating on that original batch.
