Yikes :( back button didn't work, eh? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 18:17 8

  - Not google docs, I take it? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 18:24 6
    - Nope. I write directly into the BOP Column generator. I generally save along the way, but I was cruising. Haven't written the column while I watch - Jim Nov 16, 18:30 5

        I have, like 98% of my columns saved on an external HDD. You know, in case I ever want to look back at August 2003. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 19:27
        
        I've had it happen to me a couple times...and every time I feel more dumb than the last. What I hate the most is that my first reaction to something - Jim Nov 16, 19:19 1
        
        I have the same issue. In fact, my irritation always shines through on the second attempt. -- nm - David Nov 16, 19:22

Hate that shit. -- nm - TFox Nov 16, 18:10 3
- I'm up to minute 19 of a fucking 60 minute show. I'm so pissed right now I can't tell you. -- nm - Jim Nov 16, 18:15 2
  - And I can guarantee anything funny I had in the previous article will likely be lost cause now I'm pissed off. -- nm - Jim Nov 16, 18:16 1
    - That sucks, but it'll come back to you. -- nm - Roger More Nov 16, 18:25
