Translation: "#!~*$*&#@!%~*#@#!!!!!!!"

I'd written over 5,000 words for my NaNoWriMo story since Wednesday night, yet thanks to my own stupidity and an odd quirk in Windows XP's "Save to disk/Open With" feature, none of it was actually ever permanently saved, even though I hit the save button rather frequently.

I'm rather annoyed right now.

1 OMG! I'm very sorry about this. I've lost long posts before, but not 5,000 words written over several days. Suxxx.

4 A Mac would NEVER have the audacity to lose your data like that. I hope you were able to recover it and keep going -- this madness ends tonight! Whee! Here's to hoping my Assclown Wednesdays aren't an outright circus so I can sneak in a few thousand words this afternoon myself.
