For lack of undo …
Posted in gnu/linux on 12/24/2007 08:14 pm by novakyuGosh, darn it!
I just deleted a whole lot of misc. notes I’ve been keeping in the XFCE notes applet. … By a simple typo. Somehow, I typed C-a ” into that window (you might notice that it’s a key sequence one would use frequently in GNU screen) … and apparently there are no undo functions.
I suppose I am not too … angry, since most information in that deleted note can be recovered (it’s just some information about IP addresses of important machines in case my laptop’s DNS goes down (i.e. machines that I can ssh to and run DNS lookup tools)) … but gosh, it could have been some irreplaceable note from the meeting with my boss!
I am switching to another, more full-fledged note taking application. Tomboy came up on the radar, but I’ll post another complaint if that doesn’t work out.
