Free livejournal software for linux

KLiveJournal is a KDE client primarily for the LiveJournal.com site, but it should work with any other journal provider that uses the software from livejournal.org.
You will have to build from source. So you will need the development files for KDE and the Qt3 libs.
A compiler is also a good idea.
Installation:
Extract the archive and build with
./configure
make
make install
./configure --prefix=/usr is propably better.
Enhancements:
- LJIO::Scheduler now processes jobs that cannot interfere simultaneously
- Added Friends Editor
- KWallet no longer complains about missing window id
- The password dialog is now centered properly on the mainwindow
- values that where not decoded as utf8 are treated correctly now( group name, login message, location property)
- fixed bug causing the client to hang on kde session restore
- Event browser now saves the listview layout

libopkele is a C++ implementation of an OpenID decentralized identity system.
libopkele provides OpenID protocol handling, leaving authentication and user interaction to the implementor.
Normally, I do not jump on the emerging technologies, especially in the blogging arena, but this one is truly brilliant. Besides, despite its livejournal origins, the very idea doesnt have much to do with blogging.
In case you happen to be aware of the so called rest of the world existance, you may be as well aware of the frustrating experience to secure a visa to enter any particular territory and having to ask whatever country you happen to live in for assistance in confirming your identity. As if being yourself is not enough!
The same goes for Internet. It is much more pleasant to prove that you are what you are by being yourself and to carry your very own identity around. Furthermore, you dont have to force people to submit to your authority for the sole purpose of being recognized (if you want them to, youre not interested in this system and I am not interested in you either).
The library is semi-documented using doxygen markup. You may wish to make dox target to build the documentation.
Enhancements:
- Standards-compliance of URL canonicalization was improved along with association expiry handling.
- The documentation was updated slightly.

LJ::Simple is a Perl module to provide a simple OOP-based API for accessing the LiveJournal system.
Main features:
- Log into LiveJournal
- Post a journal entry
- Edit a journal entry
- Delete a journal entry
Example
The following example posts a simple message into the test LiveJournal using the LJ::Simple::QuickPost method.
use LJ::Simple;
LJ::Simple::QuickPost(
user => "test",
pass => "test",
entry => "Just a simple entry",
) || die "$0: Failed to post entry: $LJ::Simple::errorn";
The next example shows how to post an entry into the test LiveJournal using the complete, object-based, interface:
use LJ::Simple;
my $lj = new LJ::Simple ({
user => "test",
pass => "test",
});
(defined $lj)
|| die "$0: Failed to log into LiveJournal: $LJ::Simple::errorn";
my %Event=();
$lj->NewEntry(%Event) ||
die "$0: Failed to create new entry: $LJ::Simple::errorn";
my $entry=SetMood(%Event,"happy")
|| die "$0: Failed to set mood: $LJ::Simple::errorn";
$lj->Setprop_nocomments(%Event,1);
my ($item_id,$anum,$html_id)=$lj->PostEntry(%Event);
(defined $item_id)
|| die "$0: Failed to post journal entry: $LJ::Simple::errorn";

JLJ is Jerrys LiveJournal entry system. JLJ project It is very simple to use. Just setup a .livejournal.rc file in your home directory with your username and password, and run the jlj script.
It prompts you for your Subject and Body text, and sends it off.
If you have either the shell variable "EDITOR" ir "VISUAL"set, it will use that instead of the Old School BBS style editor.
It lets you make, edit and postpone entries on or offline. You can queue up posts to be submitted when you connect up to the net, or leave them in your postponed folder indefinitely.
It only requires the base install of perl and the socket libraries, which should be installed on most unix based systems. This might work on some ports of perl off of unix-based systems, but I highly doubt it will work.
Enhancements:
- This version adds support for "tags" and minor bugfixes over 2.9 and 2.10.
