I'm a regular loser - of typepad posts. Of course when I was on Blogger and the earlier versions of Movable Type, I had the same problem.
Yesterday my fiancee called me on the way home from the gym. I picked up the phone, trying to avoid cursing as I told her hello. I had just lost another post!
Being human, I quickly blamed typepad. It was clear their interface was the problem.
Franki quickly disabused me of that notion.
See, I suffer from a syndrome called, Alt-Left Arrow Incidental contact. It's a terrible thing, where I tend to press some kind of combination of buttons that forces my browser to go BACK, losing all of the data I just wrote.
Sigh. I actually don't think I'm pressing alt-left arrow. There is some combination that functions with the backspace button to destroy my writing. I do have to admit that is has nothing to do with Typepad, and everything to do with my browser.
It's my number one request for the future of the web. Sure would save me a lot of time to fix it.
It does have one benefit.
If there is ever a post you don't like or that seems incomplete, I have a ready made excuse.
"Yeah, my browser ate the original post, and I had to rush something out and still get to work. Sorry about that."
