I was reading on t’interweb about the Russian owners of Livejournal laying off most of its staff without any severance packages, and since all of these people are in the technical area, leaving only sales people left its a bit of an interesting time.

So being a IT person and therefore a BIG advocate of   decided I better back up my data. For those of you interested in such things, or wishing to back up your own data i suggest a program called ljarchive.  It is a good idea as you may have years worth of memories you may loose.

Now, I sat there with my back up of several years of pointless drivel from Livejournal, and my shiny new blog V2, in two different windows on my Laptop, when insperation hit. Where better to store a backup of my old blog, but in the archives of the new blog?

So, quick import of data from the ljarchive file, a tweak on posting info, and bob’s your great uncle.  And this blog suddenly backdates several years.
