Livejournal Suckage

Doing more stuff with XML-RPC and the LJ clients API. And discovered that if the username is an integer (as with 0000007, for instance) it returns it as an integer rather than a string. As the framework I'm using expects data to always be returned with the same type this is less than entirely useful.

So I tried to post to lj_dev and ask if this is something fixable, but am having problems doing so from the semagic client. And then tried to post from the update page and got told I already had too many items in the queue. Of course, I can't _see_ the item in the queue, so I can't tell if one of my attempts at posting almost got through, or if something more befuddling has occurred.

Bugger this for a lark, I'm off to play Buffy.
