Would it be alright if I asked a question on what seems to be an undocumented feature of livejournal.

What exactly is lj_bot?

This tool returns:

• A list of LJ users whom you list as friend, but they do not list you back
• A list of users who list you as a friend, but you do not list them back

I know of the existence of a similar tool, but there seems to be some problems with it. And this tool doesn't cache your data, so you'll always get the latest results.

The tool is here.

The new 'quick comments' thing on system-style comments view pages - some people love it, some people hate it. If you like to use the user icons as part of the grammar of your replies, or if you semi-regularly reply from a secondary account, this is really annoying, because neither of these are options, and it means you have to wait for it to rehack the page, and then hit the 'more options' button. And there's no switch to turn it off, except for using a browser that simply doesn't support the Javascript hooks needed. Or turning off Javascript entirely. Or other similarly blunt-instrument solutions.

[ addendum: There are less... geeky... ways around it in the comments. Each has their own upside and downside. I added a filter to my chosen ad/popup/evilness blocker because it's what I already had running, and Privoxy works on MacOS, Linux, and Windows. Hopefully there will be a response to the suggestion that a switch be added. ]

( Here's a relatively precise, if super-geeky fix. )

Hi everyone!
Livejournal-WAP proxy, WMLJ has been updated.

Changes:
- friendlist changes display
- friendlist parser now uses customview.cgi for paidmembers.
- improved recent entries and comment list parser
- users of Nokia phones can enter spaces and special symbols now.

...but it amused me a bit ^^

Was looking through my old entries, and I came across the old colorbar meme, looks like it managed to hit the upper limit on comments, 11007, which seems like a strange number to me (not base-2, which I'd have expected).

Does anyone know why the limit is set to that number? *is curious* Has any other post ever managed to hit this figure before?
