local version of my blogs as HTML, fully indexed
Thursday, 20 December 2012 04:47 pmI've done something rather cool. :)
For some time now (years) I've been backing up my LiveJournal and Dreamwidth blogs using a nice program called "ljdump". (See the LJ community about it at http://ljdump.livejournal.com ). It is reassuring to know that about a decade of posts are safe here on my machine if something should happen to LiveJournal. Dreamwidth is in less danger than LiveJournal, but you never know what can happen.
Now that I'm on dialup again and can't go online often I've become frustrated with the xml format that ljdump uses to save my blog. I often find I'd like to refer to old posts, but am hampered by the clumsy xml format. Well, today I wrote a program that fixes that. It ripples through all my blog backups and creates html pages from them so they can be easily viewed locally in any web browser. This is wonderful!
I'm quite delighted with myself. Yay! :)
