can the night be salvaged?

[ceagle]

after much thought.... no.

this was one of those nights so many of you have probably experienced too.... pouring your heart and mind into a long and thoughtful essay for LJ, and then suddenly seeing it vanish.
No teacher to give you an F. No class to fail.
Worse has happened to others, so I know it's not much to suffer upon myself... but for the moment, it still stings.

so I guess I'll sleep on it.
tomorrow.. is... another day.



hmmmm... I think I might've even heard that somewhere before....



from now on, resolution: regular clipboard saves... not just before hitting that final send button.

My Athlon 700 was locking up more and more often - it was a dual monitor outfit, and last week I had TWO livejournal entries I was working on at the same time in two different journals (using two different browsers of course) It locked up and I lost it all.

So yesterday I gutted the thing and it's now a 2.2 Gig P4. I figure it will take 3 or 4 days of overtime to pay for it, but I won't lose any more data.

Two of the best LJ entries I ever wrote - also gone. And I didn't have the energy to rewrite them again either.
