I knocked over one of my speakers today and when it hit the floor it obviously gave the hard drives in my Computer a shock because they decided to freeze. On rebooting the machine crashed, a little SATA cable wiggling and another reboot and everything was fine - or was it?

For the second time in the history of nemo I’ve managed to lose a whole collection of music. Last time my hard drive finally failed and I hadn’t backed up. This time it seems windows ckdsk managed to orphan my whole music folder and all it’s sub-folders. In other words I opened up foobar to get the music going only to be told ‘error - file not found’ for every single track. A quick browse of drive H, no ‘Music’ folder. Crap!

For the second time in nemo history though I have been brought back from the brink of of the abyss (no music is a harrowing experience for me) by GetBackData. This nifty little app will recover not only data you chucked in your wastebin but stuff that has vanished in a system crash. First time around it was able to retrieve some data for me, but the hard drive was definitely in bad shape already. This time however I’m hopeful of recovering a great deal more of my music collection. If I do, it’s going to take an awfully long time to sort it out - it’s been shoved into hundreds of folders with what look like hashes for names. Oh happy happy joy joy.

Had their bike stolen recently. I thought  I would look on freecycle to find them a new one, and a day or so after advertising I got a reply. I passed it onto my friend, who went to go pick up the bike. They had got their hopes up and so were quite disappointed to find the bike wasn’t all they could have hoped for.

However, bless their heart they couldn’t refuse because apparently a 12 year old autistic boy had spent the evening in the freezing cold repairing the bike and awaiting my friends arrival.

Apparently, my friend will not be riding the bike unless they wish to endanger their life. Let this be a lesson, have no mercy on the autistic.

Well I would say that, she is my sister after all. However I would recommend you all mosey on over to my sisters newly renovated website and check out her portfolio and see what she is all about. She’s one talented girl, and hot to boot. Too much information, possibly!
