Firefox saved my ass tonight. I'm 3000 words into the tutorial. I've been doing what I can each night after work. I also have MS Word open whenever I'm writing, so that I can make backups every so often in case the power fails or the like.
Our kitten jumped off my desk onto the computer case. Guess where the paw went. I had about 30 windows open and music going, everything froze, and then the windows began to waterfall as the computer shut itself down. The VERY LAST program it tried to close was Photoshop, which threw the "Save, Discard, Cancel" prompt. I was able to cancel the shutdown, but Firefox had completely closed. I checked Word to see where I had last saved, and it was 6 HOURS old!
I pulled up Firefox and tried using the history to pull up where I was, hoping the text had cache'd. No luck. I tried everything! So I was banging my head on the desk when I noticed the "Restore Previous Session" button under the history menu. WALLAH, everything came back up including the "Preview post" box! WHEW!
Why am I posting this? My inbox is full of "When's that **** going to be finished?!". Well I dodged losing a nights work, so sooner than later.
Next few days.
