moodSwings, to see all the fluctuations in your mindset since you started blogging on LiveJournal.

Thanks and respect to g0thm0g.

Before you comment here to ask me : No, I'm NOT storing your usernames and passwords on my server. If you don't believe me, I cannot and do not want to convince you. :)

it prolly uses the flat interface or the xml-rpc interface to download entries.
in order to do that, it needs your password.
the rss feed of your journal only returns the latest 25-50 entries.

ps

why dont people read already posted comments before commenting?
*le sigh*

Thank you; that's what I thought. I know we can't get RSS feeds of our entire journal unless we're paid members, so that would make sense if that's what's happening.

But STILL. In this case it would be nice to see what is done, EXACTLY, with our passwords. You know, making that part of the code open source or something.

[jeffreyatw]

It really is the principle of the thing, though. We're not supposed to give our passwords out, it's not really just a personal decision. If the only thing you're doing with our password is making it so we can also chronicle our protected and private entries, aren't you smart enough to program one that just chronicles public ones?

This is not an issue of trust, it's an issue of policy.

But also of trust.

well said.

[spatulistic]

Can't there be a public version that only reads public entries?

[subbes]

There is.

[teemus]

http://sumeet.info/MoodOMeter/ - only for the last 25 entries or so. :|

Just change your password. Use this thing and then change it back.

[kineticfactory]

That doesn't solve the problem if the code is untrustworthy and harvests your friends' friends-only entries immediately (remember Frienditto?)

[tsutton]

Imagine this... the system can change the password faster than you. Someone could write a script that as soon as you enter your password, it can chnage the password to something different and you won't be able to access your journal.

That's why it's a very bad idea to give away your password to untrusted scripts.

[teemus]

Dude, can you please tell me WHICH FUNCTION listed over HERE would allow a script to programatically change the password?

Don't spread panic for the heck of it, without concrete reason. :|

Password issues aside, I like it. It's pretty hilarious and reminiscent to see all of the made-up moods I've made in the past year.

[neminem]

Ditto - many "amused + something" or "annoyed + something"... also lots of variations on the theme of "dang, I should really be doing homework right now" :).

It's also no surprise that I use "amused" far more often than anything else, given that all my memes go there, in addition to any other reason I'd be amused.

[bubblebee]

amused was my top one too :)

[herekittykitty]

and mine are downright strange, mostly to my feelings of the subject at hand more then my actual emotion at the time. for example- instead of pissed off, i have "is DOAS a freaking tragedy?!?!" and instead of touched, i have "touched... inappropriately" rushed-"will he ever shut up?!" or my personal favorite, cold-"tit bit nipply."

this surely is nifty.
