Aaaaargh!
You know, there’s one problem with using Macs: It’s easy to get lulled in to a false sense of security. I was just using a program called Taco HTML Edit, which I like because it shows a preview of my HTML page that’s updated as I change the code. About an hour into some page design, the program crashed, and of course I hadn’t saved my work. D’oh! Dumb move on my part, but I just got into the groove and didn’t think about it.
[sigh] Back to work…

And this evening I was well into updating one of my blogs using iBlog, had Safari open, Mail open and was listening to my iPod when I realized I hadn’t updated it with a bunch of songs I’d added to iTunes. I plug the iPod into the firewire port and get a kernel crash (...You Must Restart Your Mac…). I had saved throughout the evening but not the last 10 minutes or so of writing and image uploads. Argh.. indeed. Why isn’t there auto-save in every program?

Oh, misery does love company. Ouch! I haven’t gotten the dreaded kernel crash yet—knock wood. One of the things that I love about the Mac is how forgiving it is. But, again, that’s what makes it easy to forget that crashes can still take your data, if you’re not careful.
