Question thread #62

[pauamma]

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.

Re: enhanced Livejounal import

Funny, I looked at the code again, and even the old Livejournal code, and it's exactly like you say: jitemid times 256 plus a fudge factor. I just have read the code incorrectly way back when. So much for "I seem to recall". And I should have noticed the "we" in your reply and figured that a principal in the company would know the code a whole lot better than I did even at the time when I had freshly misread the code.

Oh, no, totally never take my word for something just because I co-own the place, I'm not any kind of authority on the tech end of things! (In this case, I actually did look it up because I couldn't remember the difference between itemid and jitemid, but sometimes I really am talking out of my ass and someone else is right instead.) So it's always good to check me. :)

Your attitude makes me all the more eager to figure out how to import my Livejournal completely, even though I have a permanent account there. Thanks. (And darn Russians!)
