Wow. OK. A few people I know have been hit by the expired-hotmail hack - hackers re-activate a deactivated hotmail account, and use it to gain control of your LJ. (Hotmail has been the prime vector, because it allows old usernames to be recycled after six months, but may not be the only one.)
If they get control of your journal, they generally delete every post. I'm not aware that there is any recovery. Especially if you've had robots.txt set to "Minimize search engine inclusion" - you won't be on wayback machine or similar, because they respect robots.txt. I don't think LJ keeps any kind of backup for you.
Check this page: it's LJ's tool for seeing what old email addresses may still be associated with your account. You should delete all of them but the current one.

Cut it out, Australia!
Jan. 20th, 2009 09:35 pmSea squirts or ascidians are lovely little marine filter feeders. They have a larval tadpole stage, where the little guys disperse by swimming, and then they settle down, metamorphose, and spend the rest of their lives quietly sucking in sea water and filtering out small particles for food. They are soft, gooey little blobs that filter feed.
Except in Australia.
Everything seems to be toxic or dangerous in Australia. Newly discovered off the South Australian coast: carnivorous sea squirts.

Bad Dog chorus, part I
Jan. 9th, 2009 04:43 pmBad dog! Bad dog!
Bad dog! Bad dog!
She slinks around the household,
And hides from kith and kin;
She knows her recent action was an awful sin -
She ate up all the garbage
within the rubbish bin...
Her belly bloats;
Her breath is odd,
Her farts fill all the room - OH GOD.

Jan. 7th, 2009 12:34 pmI do have an Insane Journal account, under username "deor".
I don't use it much, except to read those already there who migrated from here that I could find. But if all goes as the doomsayers are predicting, we could gather there instead. The interface is comfortably LJ-like, at least.

AKICILJ: motherboards and hard drives
Dec. 30th, 2008 03:53 pmI have an Intel D915GAG motherboard. I want to add a second, larger hard drive to the computer. I have searched the manual and googled a score of sites, but cannot find an answer to the question: "what is the largest hard drive size compatible with my system". Anyone know where I can find the answer?
Too. Many. Feeds.

Meme Sheepage with dog
Nov. 4th, 2008 07:20 pm1. Stop talking about politics for a moment or two.
2. Post a reasonably-sized picture in your LJ, NOT under a cut tag, of something pleasant, such as an adorable kitten, or a fluffy white cloud, or a bottle of booze. Something that has NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS.
3. Include these instructions, and share the love.

Canine plumbing failure
Sep. 6th, 2008 07:09 pmIf one drops an amount of pancake syrup on the floor, be very careful that the dog doesn't get a few good laps of the stuff inside them before the rest is cleaned up.
