Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Disappearing Post
Argh. I had a lengthy post drafted to encapsulate what I’ve done this past week/weekend - and explaining that I’ve been doing stuff instead of writing about doing stuff… but through a strange combination of stuck “shift” key and weird keyboard shortcuts going wrong [Alt+Tab and Alt+T], the entire post is gone. I tried back-tracking through the old cached (so I thought) pages, but there was nothing. Apparently, whatever went wrong went wrong before the most recent autosave that WordPress does, so the ENTIRE post vanished. Links, embeded video and music - everything.
I’ve just done some deep breathing and created another post that’s a skeletal outline of the previous juicy post, trying to note specific phrases I used that I felt were particularly descriptive. But the rest will have to wait since it’s late and I have to be up early to catch the train. I’ve been getting to sleep at around 3 a.m. for the last week - which would be fine if I wasn’t feeling stressed and overwhelmed. Lack of sleep won’t do me any favors in that arena; neither will coffee.
More later on a weekend of fun including music, whiskey and animatronic dinosaurs.
