Danae: Now I have to go back and rewrite all the stuff about me on Wikipedia. Lucy: How hard is that? It's about you. Danae: Well, yes... sort of. The data on Wikipedia wasn't about my past. It was about my future. Now I have to remember all the great things I'm gonna do and in which order to keep the history straight. Lucy: Nobel Prizes... plural? Danae: Yeah, it's a given. I'm just trying to remember if they'll come before or after my Pulitzers.
Danae, do what I do. Write up the entry in notepad, and save the file to hard disk repeatedly (since Microsoft screwed up the OS lately and causes notepad to crash periodically). When you’re done, throw the file into the sandbox to error check the formatting. When you’re done, copy back into notepad, then paste the finished results into the wiki entry. The advantage of this approach is that you can always update the hard disk copy when you’re offline (i.e. – at school).
