Just lost a medium-length post which will take a few minutes to re-create. Damn. And one of the recent posts I was reading was Tim Bray on blogging clients, where he hit the nail on the head:
Unfortunately, at the moment, writing stuff in the browser mostly sucks. It’s primitive, it’s clumsy, and (mostly) doesn’t auto-save, so it’s real easy to lose your work. Seriously, if you’re writing something big and serious that you care about, consider doing it offline in your favorite word processor or text-editor, saving often, then using cut-and-paste to transfer it into the browser.
Safari doesn’t usually freak out on me like this, but ouch.
