jadesfire: Bright yellow flower (Gives in - Dalek baby sigh)
Okay. I'm told that backing up my LJ is easy, that all I need to do is download and run lj-archive and that's it's easy and more or less idiot proof. You know what happens when someone does that? The world comes up with a better idiot.

I understand the principle, and I am not an idiot, but I honestly cannot get the wretched thing to run. I can get to the website, I can click the 'download' button. I then get a list of about 5 things that I *could* download. If someone could then explain to me in words of one syallable how I "install and launch" after that I would be eternally grateful. Literally assume that I need step-by-step instructions. At this point, I am beyond being patronised - I just need someone to help me!


ETA: Huge thanks to everyone who chipped in to help my brain out. I need to install stuff, so it's going on my home computer, but I shall report back soon! Much appreciated, folks. I knew you'd know.

I do have an Insanejournal under this name now and have already found most of you MWAHAHAHAHAH*cough* but I'll be clinging to LJ until the bitter end. Assuming I can back the damn thing up.

Moving swiftly on, please to be filling out the poll below if you would like a postcard from Morocco. Please also note that comments to this post are not screened - use the textbox (which IS screened) or email me on jadesfire2808[at]gmail.com if I don't have your address. I've put a 'no, thanks!' option in there, since I'm liable to send them to everyone whose address I have in a fit of enthusiasm, and thought I should give you the option to back out.


[Poll #1326862]

ETA: [livejournal.com profile] bironic! I see what you did there :P Alternatively, it might be "Auriga, Cetus, Centaurus, Cancer, Scutum, Eridanus" + point of origin. Guess what I'm researching at the moment...




How's everyone's Wednesday? Going okay so far?
