A Note On Mass LiveJournal Editing

I removed my blog entries from LiveJournal because I don’t want them there anymore.

If you’d like to do the same, you might find this very quick and dirty Ruby script useful. It requires Ruby 1.8.6 or a compatible Ruby implementation.

The script expects a range or array of entry IDs. I was kind of lazy and didn’t really want to write much code, so I used LogJam to download my journal, extracted the entry IDs from the generated XML, and pasted the result into the script. It’s certainly possible to have this script pull out those IDs directly, though.
