i go there to get shit off my chest and oh do i have allot today and i get doen writting a damn novel hit post blogg and the whoel damn site is dow nand every thought i just got down is FUCKING GONE.... now not only do i have to deal with the crap i wanted to sort out but i have no fucking idea what the hell i just wrote and what the hell am i going to do now to sort out my problems casue i am certianly not going to spend another fucking hour writting again.... ughh i am so damn pissed off about allot right now!

I know it doesn't help a lot now, but perhaps, in the future, before posting something, it'd be wise to highlight and copy the text in case MySpace (or any other site) goes down or has glitches. That way, you've at least saved your text and you can paste it into a text document which you can retrieve at your convenience. I know I do this when I've thought a lot about how to word a post or if a post I make is really long.

[cusssedness]

That's what I do, Ginevra. It also allows me to spend more time on what I intend to post and refine it before putting it up for the world to see.

[Lilith]

I usually do that, i just wrote today, it was to be a simple blog but turned in to a huge rant etc...... ughh just annoying as it happened at the wrong time........ I needed to scream but being it was only 7 am i came to dgn to blow off the steam....... and "scream".......... it helped........

I prefer Live Journal over My Space and Xanga.

[Homicidalheathen]

Going to check out this Live Journal.

[Rayne]

yes i was going to say this too. this is what i do, or i do it in word first if it is really long and copy and paste it from there to myspace

I do this all the time simply becasue Myspace has giving me the finger one time to many in the past.

On the old DGN, if you used the spell checker once you finished writing, it would eat your posts. Perhaps I was the only one it happened to, perhaps not, but it was quite frustrating to lost a small novella just because the spell checker had bad Cheerios that day.

I rarely use the blog on Myspace on my page. Myspace seems to have alot of issues off and on. I use Livejournal for blogging as well.

nope wasn't just you. i never used the spell checker but i recall troy and critter mentioning it happening to them. or that the old dgn would just sometimes eat their posts anyways

I have been on LJ to view IRL friends bloggs but never joined. I dont know why but it seesm to bother me that just about everyone i know has a LJ, and well when i go to unload i am not sure iw ant every one having access to it ya know. Even with the friends only or Prefered list type settings it make me uneasy. To many people who just would never understand half the stuff i write even if i tried to explain it to them...... I dont know like i said i needed to scream so DGn heard my voice. Maybe it was good thing it went down casue the person causeing the turmoil inside me has gotten the full Live version cause i did not have my tool to help me be nice...... and well the not nice thing seemed to get some results so far. Lessen learned Type everything work and even non work related in Word First! I am usually good about doing work in word and saving but never gave my personal thoughts the same respect. Bad me bad ! lol

[Scary Guy]

I find writing things down in wordpad and then copy/pasting helps a lot.

I also find most times I don't take my own advice and fuck up hitting the back key.

However I also find hitting forward fixes that usually and what I typed is still there.

[cusssedness]

I have both an LJ and a xanga. I generally use them differently. I tend to put the bitchy stuff on xanga and the better thought out posts on LJ.

[Homicidalheathen]

I guess I just dont care that much about posting my personal stuff on the internet to sign up for live journal or my journal or whatever.

I think this is it for me. To many websites to contend with.

[kellygrrrrrl]

DAMIT The same thing JUST happened to me.....I swear I wrote a book about my weekend, and now it is gone....dammit, next time remember Cut & Paste, Cut & Paste DAMMIT!!!! :doh

[Lilith]

[EvilDivaEva]

yep, copy and paste is the key

myspace is dumb.......dont become one of its mindless users.....please

[Homicidalheathen]

I met a great guy off myspace. I mean, he is normal and nice! He talks to me everyday about just life stuff. And he is cute and sweet! His wife and him are swinger curious but I don't even care about that. I just like him as a person! I don't care if we ever hook up with them.

I would not have met him if it weren't for myspace as he doesn't go online much.

So some of them are cool. And it was worth all the wanna hook up emails to find one true freind who lives by me.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

ah but it doesn't have to be that way

i like it because it keeps me connected with all my real life friends. they post party events, i can read their "blogs" about stuff that is going on in their day to day lives ... i know it is better to talk to people in person/on the phone for sure- but sometimes it is easier to just reach your friends ALL at once, with one easy way.

i also have a bunch of bands on there - so of course i don't know many of them but i think myspace is a great way for people/musicians/others to get exposure/network.

maybe they should pay me for advertising.

Site will be down for maintenance from 3:00AM PST to around 5:00AM PST. January 15, 2002.

WTF? Does the calendar run backwards? They cannot mean they will be off for that long even to 2006.

My new buddy is on there and he doesn't go online much. Wah!
