Checked today for a new post... *Yay, Az's got a new story!* (I said out loud - in my mind).
... Wait a minute... AAAuugh!! oh god, no. It cannot be. The pain, the sorrow, the eternal emptiness which must be filled with great anecdotes, and geeky puns.

Oh, well. As usual, GAMBATTE.

OMG! Control Z! Control Z! Oh noes...
It's okay. Take your time.

Noooo! The gaijinsmash entry that will never be T_T I love your writing, its what I look forward to

Even if it is deleted it may still be on your harddrive, there are applications for those things (http://www.smartundelete.com/ is one I found with a quick google search). The reason being that deleting a file (in windows atleast) just removes the references to it and not the actual data. Its not a sure shot though as it may well have been overwritten.

poor boy.
you have my sympathies.

You've ruined my tuesday.

Noooo.. : (
That's happened to be thousands of times, too. ALWAYS with the really long posts!

Nooo.. : (
That's happened to me thousands of times, too.
ALWAYS with the long posts!

Oh, man. That sucks... I know what it's like, for I too suffer from Unsavermann's Syndrome.

Yeah, I hate it when that happens. Autosave could be implemented in many more places.

sorry, happens often we me as well

I'll forgive you this time Az... but only this time... its been a long boring nightshift >=-(

...

Oi!

Don't worry mate, your post still rocks :)

Keep up the good work!

L

you mean Japanese text editor don't have an undo function? you should have tried ctrl+Z

That sucks.

And that, my friend, is called human error.

It's cool, we will be here.

See, now if you had Vista, Shadow Copy(tm) would have done its job! ... <_<

Anyway, comiserations Az, I know the feeling to lose a coursework essay the day its due in... ;_;

:-( Be strong.

If you add Greasemonkey to Firefox, you can add a script that makes backups of all text posts (like this one).

Script #4
Wouldn't want to see this happen again. :)

I hate it when that happens. Especially when it's a paper for a course. On the night before it's due.

;_;
Tears still flow.

That sucks. =/ That's happened to me a lot before. The re-type is NEVER as good as the original one.

Aww man, don't be crushed now. *pats head*
I know it sucks (how couldn't I, happens about every second day to me since Windows holds some kinda grudge against me ô.Ö... but that's not the point.), but just imagine having another night to sleep over happenings and maybe re-writing the whole story even slightly better next day.
I know I'm full of shit right now, but I couldn't think of another way to comfort you. *laughs*

Always Ctrl-C during and after finishing.

Oh my Lord..
Do you not have an UNDO button???
Oh the humanity!
Sorry to hear this and can't wait for the next one.

*cry*
I hate it when the internet gets hungry and gobbles up my posts. I think I hate it more when it gobbles up yours though!

what a horrible tuesday

That sucks major donkey balls!

I called Satan the other day, and he said if you fuck up like this one more time, he's gonna be riding your ass like a horse at the tracks.

Dude, that sucks. We'll be on tenterhooks.

HAHA!!

awwwwww, poor az. it's really annoying when that happens - my 10 page essay suddenly had only 2 pages left when i did something i didn't quite get by myself.
oh well. life is.

...i've been reading all your stuff since like, what, two or three years ago and will never get bored. seriously. it's good to know all this stuff that you write about, while having this a little bit ridiculous dream of teaching in Japan. someday, someday...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

i'll just have to dig through the files and find another story to read! keep up the good work, and write with a pencil & paper!

That's what CTRL + Z is for, man. Gotta undo that shit. Or, if you deleted the file, there are un-delete apps out there.

He who laughs last made a backup.

lol Take it easy man, and keep it up; I'm learning lots of stuff both in English and Japanese.

Hey...well, in the event that it was just hitting backspace or the delete button and deleting it. You could always just hit Ctrl Z. Even in message boxes, it'll restore what you had typed. Well, you probably already knew that and was in a sitch where that didn't apply. But just in case, I thought I'd tell ya. Peace, love, and nappiness.

:( Sorry, that sucks. I did that with a final paper once....

That must *suck* so hard.

ouch. now would probally not be a good time to ask if you had a undo handy...

Yeah, it has happened to me before too. The worst thing is that you typed a finished work and now have to try to recreate exactly the work you lost.
*sucks*

Happened to me with homework before.

Speaking of which, reading your blogs has distracted me long enough! time to get started....in another 15 minutes :D

Don't worry. We forgive you.

In other news, FIRST POST!

awww man.
that's bullshit.

Don't cry, Az! It will be ok.

Crap.

I just died a little inside.

AHH!!!! now what good is this tuesday.

...Those lyrics are... pretty hot. In the context of a girl other than Koda Kumi, and minus about half the rap. (I do NOT want to endure four "rounds" of cowgirl, no matter HOW lazy I'm feeling that night. It's not even just a matter of sperm count - I'm young, I can make it up - I make it a point of switching positions for every round, because otherwise it's just monotonous squish-slap.)

Oh, and I feel your pain. And your tears. Those great posts... gobbled up by inferior text boxes... It's like being stabbed in the heart. And then in the liver. And then having both torn out with anesthestics(sp?).

holy crap! That is such a dirty song....but i still think some of the stuff overseas here is worse...still, i wouldn't mind hearing that from my gf.

>>A smarter person than I would have done the search in a brand new browser tab
An even smarter one would write it up in Word beforehand. But I'm just a geek.

Also, is Typekey not working for anyone else?

If you're using firefox with the greasemonkey extension, there's a 'textarea backup' script.

Underdeveloped boob to the face!

Suckage my man... write everything in Notepad first and then copy/paste! Fell victim to the browser thing way back and vowed never to let it happen again...

When I first heard Koda Kumi, I thought he was all right, until I heard some interesting language later on in the same song. Later on, I sawn a video on YouTube and it was still dirty. I always compared Koda to Christian Aguliar - seeing that they are about the same - and yeah, the younger generation is fucked. -.- At least your article is back online. ^^

This almost has the Dave Chappell "I wanna piss on you" song beat...But alas ill never scrub my mind free of the bucket of R. Kellys doo doo butter.

Japanese women should not rap......................
EVER...........EVER!!!!!!!!!

in order to defend koda kumi's honor:

1) her make up magic's not too bad (though she admits to getting eyelid surgery):

http://img19.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ks19vm3.jpg

2) ima sugu hoshii is a cover of a song originally sung by sugar soul, so she should get some of the blame.

3) she's been around since 2000 but her videos didn't get sexual until late 2004 due to pressure from her record company in order to boost sales. even then, only a fraction of the videos released afterwards are overly sexual, and an even smaller fraction have lyrics which correspond to the video. with the exception of 4 or 5 songs, the lyrics she writes are pretty clean.

4) i'd like to think that her cool, fierce, independent image is a good contrast to the cute, meek, speak only when spoken to image portrayed by other japanese female celebrities. in america, not good, but i think it's necessary for japan. no doubt there are some people who want to keep japanese women in schoolgirl uniforms for life.

at first i thought the same way about her, since it's the most apparent aspect. but i'd like everyone to know that there's more to her than just the image and a pair of tits...you know, like talent?

az and kumi, why can't you two get along?! i love you both so !

just in case you still read here: opera saves that stuff in the cache, so you can go to a different site, do stuff, hit back a few times and it'll still be right there. :)

"Welcome to Kumiburger, how can I help you?"
Well, I'd like two Big Sexy's and a large Qoo
"Will that be all?"
Oh, and a large fry.
"Okay, that will be... one hot spray."
Alright *fap, fap*
"I want it nooow!!"

Well I can dream, can't I!?

I just watched the video for this... and now I wish I was dead...

Why the hell do you write your posts in a Web browser? That's ridiculous, and quite frankly asking for the trouble that you duly received. Write them in a word processor like Microsoft Word and then copy/paste the content to your Web browser when you're done. You might end up with less spelling errors that way, too.
