Belt and braces

Man, it's a good thing that when I finish writing lectures on my home computer for use at Warwick the next day, I not only upload them onto the University server over their intranet, but also email them to myself, just in case.

Because it means that when I do something completely and utterly stupid, like upload two copies of my lecture notes onto the server, instead of one copy of the notes and one copy of the handout, I still have another place where I've put the files, and another chance of having got it right. Which, thankfully, I did.

Note to self:

When you go to save a file, and accidentally choose the neighbouring option, 'Close', from the 'File' menu instead, please do not then go on to select the button labelled 'No' from the idiot prompt which pops up. You see, it does not mean "Noooo! That's not what I wanted to do!", but (and if you read the text above it, you will see that I am right), "No, I do not want to save all the work I've done in the last half hour."

The button you want is 'Cancel'. You twit.
