Okay, so I'm back to remembering just what it was about xJournal that makes it a pain in the neck versus Semagic. Like UltraKiSS for using the Kisekae Ningyou doll sets (versus DirectKiSS), maybe I should just use Windows for things like that don't have a decent equivalent for the Mac-half. What a pain, though.

xJournal:
-Once you post to a community, you can only post to your own journal after that-- you can't change the option.
-There are no security settings for screening comments.
-There is no location area to type in
-There is no "tag memory," where the program remembers recently-typed tags, or downloads a list of the tags already in use by the journal being posted to

These are minor annoyances which I happened to have not even THOUGHT about with Semagic. I totally took the wonderfulness that is Semagic for granted.

Also, I took the Myers-Brigg's personality test again, because it's become something of a fandom meme. Do shippers in your fandom think alike? Do fans of X character all think alike? Do they have the same four-letter personality code?

The first time I took the test (today), I got an ESTP; the second time (on a different site, with a slightly different format to the questions), I got an ISFJ. "I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure." Why don't you find the quiz (it's everywhere) and tell me what YOU are! I suppose I should probably read through all the descriptions and figure out what I am from that, rather than taking the test a bazillion times and working out some sort of crazy mathematical-psychological average.

But if I had to decide between the first two, which do YOU think sounds more like me:

ESTP: Flexible and tolerant, they take a pragmatic approach focused immediate results. Theories and conceptual explanations bore them – they want to act energetically to solve the problem. Focus on the here-and-now, spontaneous, enjoy each moment that they can be active with others. Enjoy material comforts and style. Learn best through doing.

ISFJ: Quiet, friendly, responsible, and conscientious. Committed and steady in meeting their obligations. Thorough, painstaking, and accurate. Loyal, considerate, notice and remember specifics about people who are important to them, concerned with how others feel. Strive to create an orderly and harmonious environment at work and at home.

Okay, so I'm considering giving up on the Mac client for LJ, iJournal. It's crashed so many times in the past few days-- I lost a nearly-completed update for [livejournal.com profile] weekly_ygo, and that REALLY pissed me off. But it's also just randomly frozen or crashed a few times before.

Now, the great thing about Macs is that while the applications can range from superb to batshit craptacular, the operating system usually remains unaffected. Only once or twice have I needed to "cold reboot" the whole Mac-- and that was usually due to reheating.

Anyway, I need to find a new client. I used xJournal before, but I didn't like that either, because it didn't have security settings. Here are my needs for an LJ client:
* auto-save or backup function for entries (i.e. auto-save of drafts, or save as file for offline editing/viewing)
* security settings (set entries to Private, Friends Only, Public, or Custom)
* select userpic (this should be a given)
* add tags (especially helpful would be the ability to select tags from a menu of already-used tags, or tags already IN use by my journal)
* location (not 100% necessary, but nice)
* auto-detect music (from iTunes)

Because I use a MBP, I can't use anything made for OS9 or lower, or for PowerPC Macs. Rather than download every single blog listed in LJ's downloads section, I thought I'd ask if any other Mac users ([livejournal.com profile] mklutz?) could recommend something. Right now I'm using the Performancing extension for Firefox, but it's not made exclusively for LJ, so there are MANY features I don't have access to.

I think I'll make another post later... probably just using the web interface. I still have to update WYGO, and of course I want to talk about the first day of the elementary school visit the other Exchange Students and I had. So... "I'll be back."
