Permanently migrating away from LJ
The LJ servers have been forklifted into Russia, and given that nation's previous disregard for privacy, I'm stopping my crossposting to LJ. I have retroactively deleted my posts from my journal, as I've imported them over to DW. (I'll leave the journal itself active for a while, since I do read other people's stuff here, and because folks may care about the comments I left on their pages.)
If you migrate to DW, let me know, and I'll be happy to add you into my filters there. The username there is the same.
For those also interested in deleting their livejournal entries without deleting their accounts, I found the Firefox iMacros free addon, and wrote this script:
TAB T=1
SET !LOOP 1
SET !DATASOURCE urls.csv
SET !DATASOURCE_LINE {{!LOOP}}
URL GOTO={{!COL1}}
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:EditEntry
TAG POS=1 TYPE=BUTTON FORM=ID:post ATTR=NAME:action:delete
You need the urls.csv to contain a list of ALL the urls of your LJ entries (getting that is extremely annoying, but much less annoying than clicking through them all) and then you run the script as a loop with a Max of greater than the number of entries you have. It takes a while, but you can let it run overnight while you're sleeping, for example.
