If anyone cares, which I doubt, my hard drive with all my pictures and music failed sometime ago which is one reason why I havent been here or updated my gallery with larger images as I stated.. Getting my music back is a slow and ardous task, loading in two cd's at a time to rip them plus eating all my download bandwidth trying to restablish the CD's I no longer have.

It sucks to go through the effort to DL and reorganize music from scratch (my computer is my entertainement center, Im using XP MCE) but it sucks even more to have multiple photo albums of family and friends go up in a short plume of smoke in an instant, not to mention any somewhat worty artistic endeavours... my photo's might not be professional but they still take me some time to dish out.

Im over it but I think the next thing I say is going ot be pretty obvious , back up your sh!t, do it online, do it on a second hard drive. Usb HDD's are cheap now and pretty damn big. The funny thing in my case was that I WAS backing up my photos at the time of the crash - but there was an unexpected electrical disturbance in the neighborhood. I used every recovery software I could get my hands on and used every surface scanner I could afford but I had ot call it quits and start from scratch...

SO again, I doubt if Ill be on here very much in the near future so if you fav anything of mine dont be offended if I dont thank you for a few months
