One day, a couple of years ago, I had a couple of harmless xterms open on
my pretty desktop. I was about to clean up my ~/shit (or something, just a
temporary directory), but issued 'rm -rf *' in the wrong xterm. Hey, the
contents of my home directory are gone!
Note to self: before coffee, do nothing.
Anyway, I had the last night's backups, so there was nothing but the
cleaning of underware to care about. I was also writing something, but the
document was still open in LyX, so it was safe as long as LyX didn't crash
(and it almost never does).
