Tales from Skunk Hill

This would’ve been my first post…

I wrote my first post, typed and typed and typed and edited carefully.  Being my first I was wanting to get it right.  I was finally happy with it, pressed the “Save” button, and boom  I was sitting at the login screen.    All that work lost.  Evidently WordPress decided to end my session based on inactivity because all I had been doing was typing, not interacting with the server.

Why, why, why do people write software like that?  That’ll be a theme discussed in a later post.

Sigh, well, live and learn and press the “Save and Continue Editing” button often.  Or since it’s open source perhaps I’ll waste a couple hours of my life and dig through the source and see if I can fix it.

Which reminds me of the aphorism, “The only thing more expensive than commercial software is open source software.”   Maybe I’ll just go download CityDesk.
