== Vital Signs ==
<pre>
[12:41:49]  <@SketchCow> Last.fm is going to switch codebases in the first two weeks of April
[12:41:59]  <@SketchCow> Opinion of these folks is... it's not going to well
[12:42:23]  <@SketchCow> Code music data likely to survive, but some user generated material may die
[12:42:33]  <@SketchCow> From latter:
[12:42:34]  <@SketchCow> There are 1m+ forum posts spanning nearly 11 years across global
[12:42:34]  <@SketchCow> forums (which you can see at http://www.last.fm/forum) and group
[12:42:34]  <@SketchCow> forums. The good news is all the forums are accessible by incrementing
[12:42:34]  <@SketchCow> the ID at the end of http://www.last.fm/forum/<id>. They are spread
[12:42:36]  <@SketchCow> across a mostly-continuous ID namespace.
[12:42:48]  <@SketchCow> 'm also slightly concerned about user journals (e.g.
[12:42:48]  <@SketchCow> http://www.last.fm/user/Russ/journal), but that's more difficult as
[12:42:48]  <@SketchCow> there's no easy way of enumerating users, short of crawling similar
[12:42:48]  <@SketchCow> user/friends lists.
[12:42:48]  <@SketchCow> I'd also suggest archiving blog.last.fm during this switchover as
[12:42:50]  <@SketchCow> hilarity is likely to ensue.
[12:42:53]  <@SketchCow> ...
[12:42:55]  <@SketchCow> That's all.
[12:43:04]  <@SketchCow> So I think a project is worth it
[12:43:32]  <@SketchCow> I suggest #lastchance.fm
