15.SH NAME
16ljlatest - prints the most recent public posts on livejournal.com.
17.SH SYNOPSIS
18.B ljlatest
19[\--verbose]
20[\--count \fIN\fP]
21[\--columns \fIN\fP]
22[\--images]
23[\fIurl\fP]
24.SH DESCRIPTION
25The \fIljlatest\fP script reads the most recent public posts made to
26livejournal.com, and prints them on stdout, after doing a rudimentary
27conversion of HTML to plain text.
28
29This is intended as a replacement for
30.BR fortune (1)
31for use with those
32.BR xscreensaver (1)
33programs that run an external program to generate text.  For example:
34.EX
35fontglide -program ljlatest
36starwars -program ljlatest
37phosphor -scale 2 -program 'ljlatest --cols 40'
38.EE
