augh, workers

[kareila]

I am having massive amounts of fail trying to do anything on my dreamhack involving crossposting or importing. I'm trying to test a pretty simple bugfix that just involves viewing a crossposted entry and a non-crossposted entry and looking for different text strings on each.

I can't get the crossposter to work. First the worker isn't running, so I fix that, then the date is out of order on the destination journal, so I fix that, then the password is invalid, so I fix THAT, then... nothing.

Then I deleted the crosspost account and... it won't let me create another one (0/0). Erk.

So I decided to see if importing my LJ would work somehow, and that isn't doing anything either. It's been stuck at the verifying user/pass step for... almost half an hour now.

Am I doing something stupid, or has LJ blocked the dreamhack machine (and if so, how to get the option to crosspost to/import from DW working?) or... is there anything else I'm missing here?

Alternatively, can someone else test my fix for bug 2531 so I can stop worrying about it?

SO FRUSTRATED.
