Semagic ?

Does anybody else use the Semagic LJ client ? If so, has it been giving any problems ? Mine's been "unable to contact server" for a few weeks now.

Oh. Them. I've never really understood about web proxies. I only ever encounter them when they've gone wrong.

They cache stuff, so reduces downloading/bandwidth as the proxy can serve the same cached page to local users without hitting the net. They can also be used help control access to sites for users within a network.

Aye, I'm familiar with the purpose, just not the actual mechanics of same. Since my computer isn't on a network, why it thinks it's using one is a mystery.
