ljlatest(6x)                                                    XScreenSaver manual                                                   ljlatest(6x)

NAME

SYNOPSIS

       ljlatest [--verbose] [--columns N]

DESCRIPTION

       The  ljlatest  script reads the most recent public posts made to livejournal.com, and prints them on stdout, after doing a rudimentary con-
       version of HTML to plain text.

       This script is just a wrapper around
       xscreensaver-text 
         --url http://www.livejournal.com/stats/latest-rss.bml
       As of XScreenSaver 4.21, you can just use use above URL in the "Text URL" field on the "Advanced" tab in xscreensaver-demo(1).

BUGS

       This program makes it seem like morons have invaded your screen saver.

       The output is always ISO-8859-1, regardless of locale.
