lesson one: press save as often as possible
lesson two: when pressing 'x', and the little 'do you want to save changes' box comes up, check that the document you are discarding is not the one you are working on.
lesson three: swearing does not recover document


this has been a friendly reminder from learn_from_other_people's_mistakes.com.

i'm hoping that swearing MORE will have some kind of effect. doubt it, though.

we need more effective swearwords.

Perhaps new words should be created to describe the new abstract and modern artistic shape that might be created from the electronic innards of offending machine and a soldering iron.....

I doubt it too. Sadly.

And I agree. Maybe we should come up with some more.

[strike]text[/strike]

Not sure if it works in BBCode though; and if it doesn't, well, it should =P

*ouch*

Alteration to lesson one: press save so obsessively that you end up saving no changes whatsoever and also set the auto-save to a short interval (such as five for not paranoid, and one minute for psycho).

i have it on ten; but if you hit 'no' when asked if you want to save, as i did, it un-saves everything. bloody computer.
