Updated version of LJEscape here. It is much cleaner/nicer than my first shot, and retrieves tags on entries too. Reminder: It does its best to grab all information relevant to your lj account and save it to flat files on disk. Right now, this consists of all your entries and any userinfo it can scrounge up (including usericons, friends list, etc). It cannot get comments on your entries, but otherwise it's fairly comprehensive. Assumes Unix, Perl.
