Web Browsers are not Perfect

I spent 40 minutes writing an article on security, encryption, privacy and the like, and then hit the wrong button, closed the browser window and lost the lot. There's no way I'm writing it again, so this is all you get for today.

Damn I hate it when that happens - all that effort gone to waste. I want a "recall contents of last unsubmitted form" function in Firefox.

Normal service resumes on another day.

Been there a few times....and yeah, it's "pick your monitor up and toss it across the room" frustrating.

I used to have those moments occasionally. Now I do everything in vi or kedit, and then just copy/paste into MT. Sure, that means an extra step or two, but I have a copy of my blatherings in a location other than my blog. Makes it much easier to look back on all that I've done and say "Damn, I certainly wasted a lot of time, didn't I?".
