I took advantage of the last days of ljbook.com to make a book of my LJ to date. Since I donated, I could put everything in it, comments images blah. My LJ to date is 184.8 megabytes of PDF. Holy cow.
I inform you that the LJBook service will end 10th October 2004.
Mid-June, I stopped accepting donations, because I wanted to turn LJBook into a completly free service (without donors special services, all features for everyone). I took this decision because LiveJournal & LuLu.com told me they would provide resources (server + bandwidth) for LJBook.
After more than 3 months, I have managed to provide a working LJBook engine to these 2 entities which can create PDFs from blogs, but nothing has come, and I don't know if something will happen or not one day or another.
I will perhaps find another way to host LJBook temporarly, but nothing is sure. That's why I invit you to generate a PDF now. (LJ & LuLu aren't forced to provide a service like LJbook...)
I would like to thank every donor for helping me to provide LJBook and for the great support I got. According to the feedback I received, many people were happy with their PDF so the aim is achieved! :)
Best regards,
Fabrice.
PS: Currently more than 160 users/day are using LJBook (many people posted in their journal that the service will be closed) so be patient.
