Something that hasn’t happened to me in a long time just occurred: I lost a post I’d worked on for quite a while.
And then I lost a second one. Argghhh!
I have no idea why it happened. But I do know that it used to be an unfortunately frequent occurrence, back in the quaint days of dial-up. Also, I seem to recall that the old Blogger site, where neo-neocon first resided, would go down quite a bit, and auto-save was barely a gleam in some programmer’s eye.
Who would have thought—in the days when you could brew a cup of coffee and start sipping it while you waited for a webpage to load—that some day we would be able to connect to the internet from virtually anywhere, to upload our home movies for all the world to see (if the world knew or cared), and to do much of this from our cell phones?
[NOTE: Now I've got to go---sorry for the light posting. Talk amongst yourselves for a while.]
Previously a lifelong Democrat, born in New York and living in New England, surrounded by liberals on all sides, I've found myself slowly but surely

I have also lost stuff. Now, I often do a Ctrl-A and Ctrl-C just in case and keep whatever I am writing in the cache/clipboard.

Verily it is said “Those who do not save keystrokes are doomed to repeat them.”

We find ourselves boring. We need Neo!

I use a program called CoodClip. It has a simple interface to save many different texts in save slots.
