Re: [libreoffice-website] Lost content in wiki

For just that type of thing, I do my work offline as  much as possible, 
then upload it.
Then I save the page's html file offline.

I hate it when someone can just wipe out my work.  I had a "cute" 
college student wipe my half semester length project off the mainframe, 
just to prove it to his friends.  The professor was not amused and I had 
to type it all back in within 1 week to get it excepted.  I was in a 
sling at the time and my professor would not take that for an excuse, 
but the guy who did it failed out right then and there since the 
professor would no longer take his work after he wipe out mine.

So, on that day, I learned a valuable lesson.  If you can back up your 
work.  Back then hard drives were 3 and 4 pizza size platters holding 
about as much a 10 to 20 meg, and there was not backup space for 
students, or use of the tape system if you could buy your own reel.  No 
floppies then.

Now, I do my best to back up all my work, just in case some jerk decided 
he was like the college guy and wipe my work off the system.  Now that I 
have two 1-TB drives and one 2-TB drive mostly filled, I have to somehow 
get the money to buy enough external drive space for 2 complete backups.

So, I learned my lesson, and the jerk learned his.  I wish modern day 
jerks would learn it to.
