I’ve lost two blog posts today. The first one was because I did something stupid. The second was because MoJo’s blog software ate it. I’m tired of this.

So this is a plea for help. Can anyone recommend a good, simple Windows key logger? I don’t need anything fancy, and I don’t need to monitor other people’s computers. Just my own. All I want is something that logs keystrokes to a file so that if I do something dumb, or the power goes out, or Drupal goes crazy, all I have to do is retrieve what I wrote from the log file and reconstruct it.

Any recommendations?

UPDATE: OK, I guess we can skip this. I’m already aware that writing in a different window would solve most of my problems with lost posts. For various reasons I prefer not to do this, but obviously it’s an option.

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things they don’t like—which is most things that are true.

No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
