Question

[devi]

Has anyone else ever got trapped reading the archives of their own journal for hours and hours? Or have I finally disappeared up myself once and for all?

Yes, done that. Particularly if I'm looking for an old entry. LJ doesn't seem to have great search options. I'm trying to figure out a way to get all my entries and comments into Google Desktop, which would hopefully make them searchable as well as browsable off-line.

Reading old entries can be surprisingly addictive. I have found myself spending far to long at it, to the point of forgetting what I was looking for in the first place.

Mind you, I've done the same with email messages.

I backed up my LJ using a programme called LJ backup, and this makes it wildly easy and quick to search through old entries.

I'll check it out. Thanks.
