Begun Backing Up My CP Articles
-
Am also thinking of rep points. They'll all vanish into thin air. More importantly, have bookmarked several articles. Now, going through all those bookmarks, and downloading what I feel are important, is also a time-consuming exercise.

I probably should have done that from the beginning. Too late now.

It's a good thing I haven't written as many articles as you! :-D

I don't plan to. I just have too many articles. Even thinking about backing them up freaks me out. :wtf:

I know it's quite painful. But most of my articles I wrote so I'd remember the content better and so I could refer back to them. I've referred to my article on SQLLocalDb tool usage (Dev's User Guide To SqlLocalDb (Sql Express)[^]) numerous times over the years. I definitely grabbed that one. I also wrote 5 chapters of Electronics For Makers which exists here an nowhere else. Backing them up isn't too bad, if you, 1. go to search & search for your author name (that'll give you a list of your articles in reverse chrono order (newest first) 2. open each one in a new tab 3. click "get html for article" 4. save as Not too bad.

But there's the code and everything too. It's not all on github, although i think most is

I've begun the (painful) work to save all of my CP articles to my local drive. (Since I've seen no answer in Bugs & Sugs to OG's message) I must say I am very happy to see that downloading the HTML automatically downloads the associated article images. Who else has started this work? Anyone? Maybe better stop procrastinating. :rolleyes:
I have a large list of articles I've accumulated over the years. I use the Print view, then right-click, Save As, MHTML. While it does include images (in a single file) what it doesn't do is include the associated downloads. [Edit] Is everybody doing this right now? CP is being rather slow...would hate to see some DB go down, and nobody to bring it back up...

I honestly wrote articles & shared them so that later I could refer to them via CP links.
That's part of why I do too.

Yeah but your code is worth sharing (with others). Mine, I feel, is just worth keeping (for myself).
Thanks. I figure if it's important enough I have it on github.

I always made PDF backups but now also have HTML backups.

The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.I asked Copilot about your sig line and here's what it told me (below). Very interesting, I had never heard of that.
Copilot said:
This phrase originates from the ancient Greek poet Archilochus and has been popularized by the philosopher Isaiah Berlin in his essay "The Hedgehog and the Fox"1. It contrasts two different ways of thinking and approaching the world: Foxes are seen as versatile and adaptable, drawing on a wide range of experiences and strategies. They know many things and can handle various situations with flexibility. Hedgehogs, on the other hand, focus on a single, overarching principle or idea. They know one big thing and apply it consistently to everything they encounter. In essence, the phrase suggests that while foxes are cunning and resourceful, hedgehogs are steadfast and focused23. This metaphor is often used to describe different types of thinkers or problem-solvers. Do you see yourself more as a fox or a hedgehog in your approach to programming and technology?

Not really one or the other as far as software goes, but a hedgehog when it comes to some other things.

I just backed up my articles and will post revised versions of them at Github when I have the cycles. /ravi

:thumbsdown: I was thinking about the same thing. It's kind of a bummer. :sigh:
rep points
In some deep corner of the mind was the hope that it would one day get converted into cash. :-)

Given I have 260 articles and 8 tips/tricks, that's quite a chore. Almost worth hiring someone.

All of my articles are written in Markdown, except for a few early ones, all written locally before uploading. I've done this as I've had a bad experience years ago with PlanetSourceCode....
