...only it's not, really.

LJ sacked about 25% of the San Francisco office staff. Not the 30-60% (and higher) that's been floating around in the rumorsphere. What's particularly ironic is that this was being reported by Gawker Media's ValleyWag, the victim of huge layoffs (60%, well, 3 of 5 people) back in October.

Gawker has since revised down their original numbers (20 of 28 staffers fired!) after Livejournal, Inc. released a statement to cnet.

I'm glad it's not as bad as originally reported.

It's ValleyWag. It's a tech business rumors blog. Rarely is anything ever as bad as they initially report.

I like ljArchive, it's simple, quick, downloads posts *and* comments, has several good search features, and exports to HTML if you want. Nice, clean interface. http://sourceforge.net/projects/ljarchive/

Backups are a Good Thing.

I'll be happy to help. The main hint is when you have it installed and running, click File and New Archive and follow the prompts from there.

Pays to check your sources.

Valleywag is a gossip mag. I don't think they ever bother double-checking their facts.

Valleywag is the root of all evil.

I'm glad things aren't as bad as initially reported. I'm going to look into those backup programs now...
