Firefox saved me

Or “Firefox 1 – Safari 0”.

Usually I use Safari on the mac, just because it’s more integrated with the OS. I think Firefox 3 will solve this. Anyway, whe I’m web-developing Firefox is much betterjust because of the Web Developer Toolbar Extension.

One problem of developing late at night is that the chances of doing something wrong arise. Yesterday, after 2 hours working mostly in the CSS stylesheet of a web page, I ran the wrong command and deleted the file. Stupid koke!

But nothing was totally lost. Go to Firefox, File -> Work Offline. Load about:cache and there it is. In fact, since Rails appends an unique sequence number after css and JS links (like /stylesheets/scaffold.css?1163818199), to avoid caching in development mode, I had all versions with me.

No need to say, after being able to breathe again I did a svn commit and went to sleep.
