Crash
September 4th, 2008A bad day is always a bad day when you’re editing a wiki page, your macbook freezes, you realize that you lost more than 1 hour of work (no auto-save the preview on the mediawiki) and you end up doing grep and strings on /private/var/vm/sleepimage after successfully put the goddamn mac on sleep just before a hard reboot. Another way was to try to recover some data out of the SQLite db cache of Safari. Gosh.

My suggestion when working on wikis:
use a decent editor, edit offline, then paste result into wiki.
I really hate wikis, and this is the only compromise I’m willing to make to edit that stuff.
Best regards,

Do you recommend any editor to work with mediawiki? TextMate?
