Clients for LJ

[mishalak]

Does anyone reading this use a Windows client to post to LJ? I've finally gotten annoyed enough at one of the features of the web interface to try one out.

Edit: I'm trying out Semagic now. It works well, but I have an additional question thingy. If no one knows I will, of course, take it to the geeks group to ask. This program is working fine for editing, but is there something where I could download my whole journal and save it? Just in case LJ evaporates at some point.

I use semagic and have been very happy with it - it's for Windows boxen. If I get my act together, I'm going to have to investigate Linux clients in the near future.

What OS are you using? It does make a big difference.

I use a windows boxen as well so I will have to check out semagic.

I like X-Journal for OS X 10.4 a lot.

I knew I should have gotten a Mac. <grin> I've actually been meaning to for quite some time, but I keep getting free Windows machines.

I use craigslist.com allot for tech needs and general stuff. For me it's better than ebay.

I've used Semagic under windows, X-Journal under MacOS X, and LogJam under Linux. They all work fine, but honestly I mostly just use the web interface unless I'm offline (a state I strive to avoid).

I got Semagic because someone recommended it, and they swear by it, at least. It seems fine, I guess (these days I usually have the Mac with me when I'm at a con or at an airport or something and floundering about wirelessly, so I use X-Journal more).

(As for archiving LJ -- I know people have done it, especially back during the whole breastfeeding wackiness if you remember that, but I don't have any recollection of how.)
