lj_matt has stepped up to the plate to take over maintaining and improving AliveJournal. He is now the moderator of this community, and he deserves a round of applause for taking up a good cause!.

With that said: Let the bitching about missing features and bugs commence. :)

I have stopped maintaining AliveJournal. As I mentioned in a comment to an earlier post, Be doesn't boot on either of my current machines, and I simply don't have the drive to tinker enough to make it happen. While it's disappointing, after pouring as much effort as I did into BeNews, BUGGER, AliveJournal, etc, I simply can't shake the feeling ( Read more... )

Sergei Dolgov was kind enough to modify AliveJournal to support LiveJournal's new UTF-8 encoding. For now, you can grab a binary here, but I will roll his changes back into the main code as soon as I get some free time. :)

Sorry for my lack of attention to this client, but the programming that pays the bills takes precedence. :) In addition, I ( Read more... )

For those of you interested in using AliveJournal with servers other than livejournal.com, check out this test release and let me know how it works for you...

Go to the File->Settings from the login box and change the server name to your preferred server... It defaults to www.livejournal.com, but www.deadjournal.com works like a champ (for me).

Well, I have stopped receiving hate mail (ok.... it wasn't that bad), and a few people have written in to give me the thumbs up, so I presume that the problem has actually been squashed this time.. This makes me happy....

I have been asked to take over (a.k.a. salvage) a boring project at work, but it is going to take up alot of my time for the ( Read more... )

I just released v1.61 to the world over on BeBits, so head on over there and snag a copy! Thanks to everyone that downloaded this morning's beta, it is great to hear it is finally working for people!

In addition, I made this community open, and gave posting access to all the existing members, so if you guys have something to contribute to the ( Read more... )

Please check out v1.61 Beta. Thanks to everyone who sent in debug logs, but special thanks to thehangedman. As always, your feedback is appreciated, but I expect this release to work for you.

Also, check out the new feature in the history window. :)

For those of you having problems logging using AliveJournal, I would appreciate it if you would download this. Unzip the archive, and run it from the terminal. After pressing the logon button some spew should get tossed to the terminal... Cut and paste it, and mail it to me. DON'T FORGET to censor your password, although I ask that when you do ( Read more... )

I am still confused as to why some people are mailing me with praise thanking me for making the client work again, while others have no luck. I wish I could find the common thread for you unlucky people but I just don't see it yet... The only thing I can come up with is that it is related to the timeout stuff... Some person who had an illicit ( Read more... )

New version of AliveJournal is available at BeBits... A few people have reported problems, but so far it has worked well for the majority of people... I just wish I could reproduce the problem that some of you are having... One thing that does help is detailed reports of the problems you are having. Please include OS information and if you have ( Read more... )
