Ponderings For 2007-04-29
- The Wordpress feature that auto-saves your posts while you’re editing them just ticked me off to the maximum amount possible. A feature meant to keep one from doing what I just did resulted in exactly what it was meant to prevent. What’s worse is that I don’t see an option to turn the $#@!*%$ feature off. I spent nearly 2 hours working on a list of all the upcoming summer 2007 films, putting them in order of my anticipation with a paragraph or so of thoughts for each. As I was typing, I accidentally highlighted the entirety of the text and continued typing, which replaced the complete text with the first letters I continued to hit. I had been manually clicking on the save button out of habit and would have been able to fall back to the last save, but wouldn’t you know it, mere seconds after I did it the auto-save feature went and saved the 4 characters I had just replaced the thousands of words with, and left me with zero way of revisions or what-not to retrieve what was replaced. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No idea if I’ll make another attempt at writing the post again. Wordpress seriously needs a revisions feature if it’s gonna continue this auto-save feature. Seriously. Doesn’t matter, as I won’t be using WordPress for all too much longer (I swear). To make matter worse, I didn’t have the Posts table for WordPress in MySQL running in InnoDB format, so I can’t do a transactional rollback of the change. Did I mention GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!?!?!? :-/
- No other thoughts for today, nor time spent on fact, dialog or video for the day. I need to sit back quick and watch something enjoyable to get my mind off Wordpress eating my hours of work…
