Well, so much for that

I sometimes use iJournal on the iBook to post to LJ. I didn't want to log on while I composed a lengthy post about books I 'd been reading, so I typed up the post in iJournal, then connected online (the iBook is dial-up) and logged on to LJ...

...at which point iJournal dumped the entire post.

Oh well--too tired to rewrite the blasted thing. Maybe tomorrow.

How terribly frustrating!

It's that familar feeling of shock as you stare at the screen and slowly comprehend that 45 minutes of work is kaput. The usual 4 stages apply--shock, anger, denial, acceptance (albeit with swearing).

I poked around the iJournal program in search of a way to send someone an email to tell them about this. The only thing I could find was a site called Debug, that I'd have to register for--frankly, I'm sick of having to register on every half-assed site I stumble over that may contain something I need to know.

It's times like these when you realize that the spiff, rather useful program you downloaded has been cobbled together by a couple of guys in their spare time, and who have yet had no time to build things like FAQ and Help pages. Or an easy-to-use contacts page.

Oh well. I use xJournal on the iMac, and like it a little better. I think I'm going to ask folks what they use to read LJ.

I just use whatever web browser I happen to have open on whatever computer I'm on. If I plan (ha!) a longer post, I write it in Word and then cut and paste. Nothing fancy.
