I had just finished writing a lengthy, complex post with all sorts of links and such in it, and before looking for a video clip to add to it, decided to save as a draft, upon which I got one of those “retry” error messages. Which usually means I have to hit “back” a couple of times to get to my work before I can copy and paste it somewhere to save it from this technological hiccup.
But I went back, and back, and my work wasn’t there any more.
I haven’t had this happen in years.
Anyway, I blame WordPress. It recently upgraded, and I think this is a glitch of the upgrade. And I’m really, really ticked about it…

Suuuuuure, you did. 🙂
An experience such as this reminds me that I don’t understand the appeal of anything like Snapchat at ALL.
If I take the time to create content of any kind, if I make the slightest effort to express myself, I want it to ENDURE as part of the record. I want it to be at my fingertips from this moment on…
The idea that someone would post anything at all, and WANT it to immediately disappear just boggles my mind. I mean, we’re not spies using one-time pads on edible paper here….
There are many ways to use the internet…not all will align with your mental construction.
I don’t get Snapchat because there is absolutely no such thing as an ephemeral internet.
Here’s what the post was about:
That’s what kicked it off, anyway. It was very interesting…
Don’t know whether it’s possible to reproduce it, or even approximate it, because I was riffing like mad, from one point to another…
Don’t have time to try right now…
Well, darn. That sounded like a good post. I’m on the border between seeing it in theaters and waiting for PPV.
I’m gonna also go ahead and guess that Grossman’s On Killing was mentioned at least once.
You betcha.
Anyway, the reconstructed post, minus some sterling touches I can no longer recall, is now available.
Look on this post as the announcement from Sony that it’s not releasing “The Interview,” and the reconstructed post as the quiet release on iTunes…
I was bummed to find out I couldn’t see this film on Christmas Day – when it nominally opened in the only two cities that matter (irony).
Somehow that seemed like the right day to see a film like this; maybe, hopefully, cloaked in something far different than what the protagonist held to in his life.
I still want to see this movie, but also not that interested in viewing the world from his place in humanity. We sent him to do our work, and even if he didn’t feel a moral weight we as a society cannot escape this burden.
That happened to me once using WordPress, and since then I write stuff in TextEdit and paste it onto the blog when I’m done.
Content creators. Hmmmm. Nice job if you can get it. New Years resolution: Keep my journal. It creates my contentworld, which is all that matters anyway. Thanks for sharing yours.
kinda ticked off you haven’t made a comment (which I highly respect) on this story:
“South Carolina Lt. Gov.-elect Henry McMaster faces 51 counts of campaign finance violations dating to his 2010 campaign for governor, according to documents filed by the S.C. Ethics Commission in December and released Tuesday. ”
http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20150106/PC1603/150109692
Well, I SAW that story, and I quickly picked up on the fact that this was nothing like the Ard case, and when I saw that even John Crangle wasn’t accusing Henry of actually doing anything WRONG, I sort of lost interest, and then forgot about the story until you mentioned it…
It usually takes me awhile to get into ethics-violation stories, since most of the “violations” tend to involve missing a deadline or checking the wrong box or something.
Somebody let me know when Henry uses his influence to make what he did legal, or seeks a secret hearing to fire the state’s chief prosecutor off the case. THAT’s when I get interested. Bobby Harrell has spoiled me for these less-interesting cases…
