Backing up lj to greatestjournal - solution for mac??

[tzikeh]

There are solutions out there for backing up your entire lj and porting it to your greatestjournal account for windows, but I've found nothing for macintosh. Anyone know of a way to do this for OS X?

antennapedia has been working on stuff (http://antennapedia.livejournal.com/238132.html) to do with backing up LJ on an OS X. I'm sure she'd answer specific questions as well.

thanks, I'll check it out. I'm hoping there's a simple solution out there that we just haven't found yet...

Not that I've found. I can write this if necessary. There are some things that won't port over so well (custom filters, for instance), but the rest should be straightforward. Oh, man, I need more time. More hours in the day.

Please do let us know if you find a good solution; I'm an OSX user also and had basically shrugged and decided that if my lj (heavens forfend) vanishes I'm just doomed.

That would be cool. I did back up using Xjournal and antennapedia's script, but that's just to my desktop. I'd really like to keep comments too, but I guess that's harder by a whole level of magnitude.

I suppose if Xjournal could take your backups and post them to greatestjournal, that might be something to try, but I should shut my mouth now, because I really don't know what I'm talking about.
