Greetings from Jim Dennis
Many people have been known to quote Blaise Pascal:
"I have made this letter longer than usual because I
lack the time to make it shorter."
In this month's Answer Guy, the Answer Guy himself learns some solid
lessons in recovery planning. In the case of his editor, to hit the Save
key combination every once in a while. You never know when you're
accidentally going to hit the key assigned to "quit this session without
prompting". Thus
"I have made this blurb shorter than usual because I
lack the time do it over."
Sorry folks! And I wouldn't be the Answer Guy if I didn't have the answer
for this. Emacs users, make sure to turn auto-save-mode on for your important
buffers before you get rolling, amd set your auto-save-interval to
something other than NIL. Screen users, make sure to update -- the newer
versions now ask before completely shutting down screen itself. And try not
to use a keyboard with \ too close to ] so you're less likely to backwack
that fascinating article you were writing.
