If you notice a lack of entries on this fine blog lately, it’s because I’m bitter. I spent a good amount of time the other day writing up quite a nice new entry, only to accidentally close my browser window and lose everything. Makes me not want to enter anything in text fields on the interweb for a little while.

Maybe it’s time you upgraded your blog software from Movable Type to vi?

I’ve had this happen to me as well. Very annoying. This is why I save often when I’m writing a draft. Also, consider using one of several off-line blog editors (not sure about compatability).
Also, you could be like Scott and just post .txt files on a monotone background.

I think I’m going to combine your two suggestions. From now on, I will edit the blog entry offline (in vi) where I have protection in case of mishaps. Upon completion, I’ll paste it into the web form and publish.

Also, by “monotone” I meant “monochromatic.”
