Roger's DeadJournal: Whatever Once Was...
Also Known As: The LJ Era, Journal Recovery Project 2005, My Deadjournal, My old LJ, FATE, Shadowpuppet's Journal.

Holding on to the memories of whatever once was...
The first attempt to restore my whole journal started on November 17, 2003 and at that time, due to the emotional trauma I went through, it was seemingly impossible to recover at least 750 journal entries that I just gave up before 2004. By then, I figured that it was better off that I left the blogging world all together.
Every once in a while, I continued dissecting information manually from the .CSV (as TXT) and .XML exports into Semagic until the first ever hard drive failure occured on October 5, 2004. All the work in progress was wiped out from the face of the earth, never to be seen again.
On February 26, 2005, I gave the Journal Recovery Project another shot. Only this time, nothing in the world was going to stop me, except for food, sleep and Xenogears. This project went on, everyday, almost non-stop, until March 21, 2005. Since Deadjournal.com claims to be the opposite of Livejournal, and this journal that I am uploading is indeed, DEAD, I picked them to be the first journal hosting service for this project (future launches will take place at Greatestjournal on 2006). The format of the entries are preserved to the best of how they were originally posted. Editing an entry for their errors, security level, and date/time were done on rare and announced occasions. Spelling is kept as they were spelled or misspelled the way they were originally posted.
The title "Whatever Once Was" was taken from a poem I wrote back in 2004. It became the title of this journal account because the poem was written about losing my Livejournal.
"Whatever Once Was", as it stands today, is a backwards journal. It includes journal entries dating from September 8, 2005 to November 7, 2005. It is meant to archive journal entries from the past, including my handwritten journals, and posted as backdated entries using none other than the Semagic Livejournal Client. All entries that seems to have been dated fairly recent are update entries and linking entries that leads to the actual entry archived by this journal account.

Holding on to the memories of whatever once was...
...because what could have been is slightly out of reach.After the tragic, yet expected, permanent suspension of my Livejournal account on November 7, 2003, a restoration project was executed to relaunch at least 750 of my journal entries that I ever posted from Livejournal. This procedure was done by manually taking data and information from every necessary fields found my LJ account's .XML export and .CSV (as .txt) export into Semagic LJ Client, then saving each entry individually as .SLJ files. This might as well be the dirtiest, most painstaking and emotionally disturbing procedure a human can ever delve into in the whole history of blogging.

- The comment feature was disabled.
- Most entries are backdated (if that even matters).
- All links pointing to another entry, or another user's entry, will not work. They will not be edited or fixed.
- All LJ-user tags will not work, they don't exist here in Deadjournal (I hope). They will not be edited either.
- All LJ-comm tags will not work, even if they existed here in Deadjournal, the entry doesn't. They will not be edited either.
- Some of the images might not work. The day I cancel my hosting plan, shall be the day those images become empy spaces.
- A few entries' security level were edited. Some entries will never be seen again, and some will be new to the public.

Call me Roger: The Xanga Edition
Also Known As: Call me Roger: The Xanga Edition
Category: Personal blog (Subscriber-Exclusive, experimental)
Powered by: Xanga
Site Traffic: Low (1-5 people per day)
"The Xanga of an ordinary guy who may not be so ordinary after all..."
Call me Roger: The Xanga Edition was once known as an anomaly to the many people who knew me in Livejournal. Since 2002, people have invited me to Xanga, but I would never join. Having a Xanga account was the last thing I would ever consider.
During March of 2005, I signed up for a Xanga account for two reasons: to claim the "callmeroger" name and to comment to a few friends' entries. That same night, my phone rang off the hook just to hear the question "Dude, you got a Xanga? OMG!"
Within 5 hours, I created an entry that would promote the actual opening of my Xanga account, thinking that people are making such a big deal out of it. I dated the opening of the Call me Roger: The Xanga edition for July 1st, 2005. As the spring season passed, this Xanga account remained so dormant that it only became one of the forgotten mistakes I ever attempted.
On July 1st, 2005, Call me Roger: The Xanga Edition opened up and received a numerous amount of visitors, only to see if I was going to pull something unexpected. I decided to break many of these people's hearts by being boring instead. Needless to say, unlike my Mindsay account, Call me Roger: The Xanga Edition is probably the least visited blog in all of Xanga.com. It's the part of the Call me Roger Blog Network I'm not too proud of either. :p
This Xanga account is divided by "Acts" per random seasons and life events. It also marks every evolution of this Xanga account's experimental phase. Most of the entries are Protected Entries exclusively posted to be read by; at the most, 10 closest friends and family members. It is also known as my rant blog.
Call me Roger: The Xanga Edition is updated using the same method my Mindsay account is updated; using the Semagic LJ client. That means the Xanga X-Tools will always be used.

Call me Roger's Livejournal (151443)
May 25, 2001 - November 8, 2003
"Updated almost daily comes a story of an ordinary guy living through ordinary obstacles of an ordinary life at the wrong place and time."
Call me Roger's Livejournal was my unforgettable debut in the blogging world. This was my first ever journal to be made available to the public online. Everything was logged here in such detail, many people read it as an epic saga or a book about an ordinary guy living through ordinary obstacles of an ordinary life at the wrong place and the wrong time.
This journal included the part of my life as I entered the realm of Fatherhood. It also included the time when I worked at Circuit City, and SPL. The journal began when I was still living with my parents in Sugarland, TX; through the time when I moved out to return to Houston, TX to live on my own. All the experiences about my life, as I became independent, were posted there. Records of events that lead to my separation with my son's mother, including sweet beginnings and bitter endings with other ex-girlfriends were once posted there.
Due to certain events that crossed my path in Livejournal, including the ignorance of the Livejournal Abuse team, and not to mention my craving desire for revenge against some of the immature people I met there; my Livejournal account was unfairly permanently suspended without any warnings or temporary suspension for negotiations on November 7, 2005. Over the next months that passed after this permanent suspension, attempts to negotiate with the Livejournal Abuse Team only resulted in failure. My Livejournal will never be reinstated for as long as Livejournal.com lives.
With a lifespan of two and a half years, my livejournal account acquired over 750 journal entries, regardless of security level, and not including entries posted in LJ communities. It was networked along with at least 80+ people in my mutual friends list, and it reached out to about 30+ community journals. It had about 1100+ comments posted and 1300+ comments received within it's lifespan.
Though many of the things that were lost are non-recoverable (such as community posts, comments and replies), at least 750 of the journal entries posted in that account have been exported into CSV (as TXT files) and XML exports. All of which were used to recover the ENTIRE journal, each individual entries were transformed into it's own individual Semagic Livejournal files (.slj). All of which was relaunched more than a year later in my Deadjournal.com account.
Various clients were used to update Call me Roger's Livejournal. Clients such as the Web client, Vision LJ client, Semagic LJ client, Lochjournal, tapjam and others were used to update that journal.
