Juan Gato is back from his break. Go read him. Now. Git.
NOTE: Yeah, my internet connection is still iffy, but I've found if I write everything in Word, cut'n'paste over, and try posting it a time or six, I can get through. Pain in the ass? You bet. But at least I've found a way to blog without losing half of everything I write.
Probably should have been using that method from the git-go on a blog; works best every time!
I imagine most BlogSpot users have been using this technique all along, thanks to BlogSpot's exemplary (not!) MTBF. What I do is to compose my blogs in the regular Blogger window, and save them into a text file (using Notepad) occasionally.
