my life is a textarea box
Damn! I just wrote the longest entry on how our condo is for sale, including a listing to the unit, my take on the condo market, describing how much work we put into the unit, blah, blah, blah, and it’s gone. The Internet ate my entry.
Seems like my entire life is one big textarea — we live inside these horrible web-apps, and technology is supposed to make things easier, but here I am bitching inside another textarea box, hoping that I don’t hit the backspace key while not focused in this little box, making me go Back a page, and losing all this bitching.
Damn!

Been there, done that, wrote a post about it. It’s useful if you were on a windows desktop at least:

It gets a bit trickier under UNIX, depending on browser and platform.. but many times possible.
BTW: Nice blog, good to see more geeks blogging in ATL.
