hyuriyou want to know why nobody uses the XML-RPC interface for their LJ clients? it’s a pain in the ass, that’s why.
granted, once I’m done tying it all together it should be much easier to add stuff, but damn! the flat protocol is really simple: convert everything to a string (with the handy‑dandy ToString() method everything has) and run it through HttpUtility.UrlEncode(). the XML-RPC libraries aren’t so easy to get started. I’d probably still be beating my head against the wall if I hadn’t chanced across ljArchive.
