I was just entering a new “Bad Job Experiences” entry, and had been working on it for about an hour when I suddenly got a pop-up “The application Mozilla has unexpectedly quit”. Buggrit. I haven’t had Mozilla quit on me since the 0.9 days. But that’s the third time an application has unexpectedly quit on my today, so I guess it’s time for a reboot.
I think next time I’m going to edit these entries using vi and cut and paste them. At least when vi quits, I can do a “vi -r” and get back most of it.
There’s an extension to Mozilla called mozex that allows you to edit textareas with an external editor. I use it with ntEmacs, but I guess you can call vi with it too. I don’t know what happens if mozilla crashes when it’s active, but I guess you can save the work to a file in that case.
