Rage for the Day: Found a problem on a system yesterday afternoon. The sysadmin made a hasty fix to correct it, and implemented it with no testing. Fix broke things far worse. Guess who gets to clean up the mess? Guess who gets paid way more than I do, and who pretty regularly commits this kind of fuck-up? ARGLEBARGLERAEG

RedKing, don't you know that you're supposed to initiate Protocol-ϝαςзϥμѝϚч in that situation? It's right there in the handbook!

Do you know that feeling when you delete all your progress on a thing you've been writing that was really good?
GUESS WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME.

I make regular saves and backups. So, no.

You lucky bastard that wasn't writing a Bay12 post.

That's why, and this is a bit embarrassing, but if I'm writing something of any length I either write it in notepad or I periodically copy it over and save it.

It can get annoying to highlight things to know what I just typed without notable eyestrain. I really should get around to figuring out how the hell to convince opera to display this particular bit of text as grey (actually, a little lighter than that but I've now been arsed to muck with color codes as much as I can be arsed.) like I've got the system set to display everything else.

Good thing I'm a touch typist and the red of misspelled crap shows up pretty easily.

On a mobile device.
I found a copy I'd written down last night, thankfully.

Why are you trying to write anything of length on a mobile device?

[fqllve]

Everything is of length on a mobile device.

-This post took ten minutes to send from my Samsung Galaxy.

My mobile device has a physical keyboard with 52 keys. That is good enough for general conversation, but writing code on it can be a pain.

I'm writing it someplace I shouldn't be, of course.

Thats sorta like saying "My knife has a really sharp blade. That is good enough for general cutting, but chopping down trees can be a pain."

Why in god's name are you trying to write code on a mobile device?

Why climb Mount Everest? Because its there.

My mobile device has IDE's, compilers and webservers installed in it.
