12:56 am - LJ API Question

Okay, I give up. How does one set the date-out-of-order flag on a new entry via one of the three LJ APIs? (Preferably the flat interface, since that's what the code I'm modifying already uses?) The 'backdated' property doesn't seem to take care of it, and I haven't spotted anything else likely-looking in the documentation.

Worst case, I guess having someone confirm that some other open-source client correctly handles the DOOO property would help, 'cause then I can crawl through the source code for that, looking for the relevant property. But I don't want to start off by downloading more clents at random to look.

"I ended up with a fairly 'correct' family, but I don't see how the pro-family folks are doing squat for me. How about better schools, access to health care, a livable minimum wage (funny how the same folks who think the wife shouldn't work oppose mandating a wage that a family could possibly survive on) a safer, cleaner environment? And if they can't do any of this stuff, why insult me by telling me that I somehow benefit by government persecution of other American families?" -- old-hedwig, 2005-01-25
