"online notepad?" , posted Wed 12 Nov 16:03

anyone know of an "online notepad" i can use that lets me save shit?

i do a lot of my schoolwork on school computers and i just lost about half of my notes using this damn yahoo notepad. i know it says "max. 5000 characters" but the fucking thing didn't even warn me when it cut it off. or maybe it did and i was too much in a hurry to notice. luckily, i kept a backup of it at home. but now i'm gonna have to fight traffic and go home prematurely to get those notes. what a fucking pain

any help is appreciated

oh yeah, before i used yahoo, i just sent e-mails to myself via hotmail and saved the draft. if i can't find what i'm looking for, i'll probably have to go back to doing this again

What about taking the notes in e mail and e mailing yourself?

While I do not know of anything like that (sorry!) does your school (assuming this is a college/university) offer any remote HD space? For example, my school gives every student 100 meg of remote HD space to store stuff on. So I always back up everything on my laptop, a Zip disk AND the remote HD. Triple backup is great! Plus I can work on something (like you), save it remotely, use FTP to access the folder, and just continue where I left off.

Then again, maybe everything I just mentioned is totally useless info. for you =\ Good luck w/ your search!

Hey JJJ -- if you have or you can install an SSH client on the comp you're using (I use PuTTY), then try SSH'ing to the server where you've got your webspace,

1) to see if you can connect in the first place
2) to see if you can log in using your username and password, which should (hopefully) lead you to a command line
3) to see if the server has either pico, emacs, or vi -- all text editors which of which could serve as on-line notepads.

You write everything through your account, you save everything on your account -- and you can read those notes again later by SSH'ing to your account again (or even by opening it up in a web browser if you saved your notes somewhere in your public_html or htdocs directory).

Nope, I use them every day since I have two computers (one is a notebook) and transferring files via floppy is the easiest way to do it.

i can't use a floppy (i don't have one installed at home), or any hard drives or programs. i'll just go back to e-mailing myself. but thanks for the replies!

oh and OmegaDog, extra thanks for showing me PuTTY! i'll check it out very soon. i might be able to use that for ... other things

WOW, you're lucky! We only get about 15-17 megs here, and it's mostly meant for personal webpages...

My old school only had 10 megs and had a wierd way of checking space. If it determined you were using too much space it wouldn't let you log it. However it frequently let you lump tons of stuff (like 100 megs of mp3s) without noticing so at the tech desk we'd have students asking why they couldn't log in 2 years after they uploaded stuff to the server.
