hirezThe most useful tool I have found for keeping an offline copy of an LJ + comments is the mildly-obviously named 'LJArchive'. It also manages to provide a fairly rapid full text search of entries + comments, which is really very useful indeed.
As far as I can tell (-> . <- this far) it's written in M$ C#, has been abandoned by the author and hasn't worked for some number of months due to $Random-XML-error which appears to be inside the comment-parsing code.
I was going to chunter on about this being unfixable b/c it would require spending ££ on the relevant part of the M$ toolchain, but it seems that the 'Express' version is free for the download (and presumably in exchange for all sorts of details that M$ can use to sell me things).
So instead of whining about it, I'd better bag yon thingy and see if the code is amenable to tinkering by a Unix Curmudgeon.

Hm. Ok. Good. Existing version is throwing the right XML error again. However, I need to see the XML it's attempting to parse.
