Yesterday’s Post
There wasn’t one.
There was going to be one. I wrote a few paragraphs about three extraordinary dreams I had on Monday night, involving 1) Stargate SG-1 and Cylons (sic), 2) a charismatic gang-leader in a Toronto with Dickensian Faginian touches, and 3) a community centre pot-luck banquet. I was going to post them to my Livejournal but thought “No.”
I typed them in to WordPress, remembering more details as I typed, then hit ‘Advanced Editing’ which, in WordPress gives you more options for editing. At that very microsecond in time, frickin’ tnir.org went south, pear-shaped, off on a comet, beyond the blue event horizon, into the mystic, retrograde, toes-up, into the outer darkness, and so forth.
I lost my post entirely.
Boy, was I pissed, let me tell you and you can believe it.
And no, I don’t feel like typing all that in again.

Ya, tnir lost its connection to the ‘Net three times today. Nothing to do with tnir - it was the ISP. Huh.
If it happens again, I would suggest going back a page in your browser to your entered text, copy it all and mail it to yourself. Then you can try again later without having to type it all in (and remember it) later.

Having a little experience with this sort of thing, “Back” was the first thing I did. No luck, no dice, no cheese, no nuthin’.
I shall not share my vivid and compelling dream life with the blog-viewing public anytime soon.
Sometimes living in the glorious Future ain’t all it was cracked up to be going to be.
