Remember this?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Remember last week when I told you I was going to check out PC Inspector File Recovery? Well this morning, I was able to succesfully recover files off a damaged floppy disk for a co-worker using it. That is what I call useful!

Upon further reflection though, I notice that it won’t let me recover anything off the C drive because it is itself installed on the C drive. That makes sense, their website even says it should be installed on a second drive, but it worked fine on my Win98 machine at home, getting deleted file info from the same drive it was installed on. Hmm, interesting. Maybe it’s a FAT32 vs. NTFS thing?

    I think maybe it’s time to change how the networks broadcast the Olympics. I know this year it seems as though the ratings aren’t what they used to be, and I think it has a whole lot to do with the fact that they are showing things well after they’ve already happened. Come on, this…

    Thanks for the suggestions in the comments below, in reply let me say that, yes the host does support PHP and ASP, so I could, given enough time, figure out how to write a referrer script myself and have it display properly. (They don’t support MySQL, so I don’t tend to use PHP at all…

    Christine has had a rather long discussion going on over the last 2 days about pinging weblogs.com and how anyone can take that data and use it to list your blog pretty much anywhere, etc. (It’s all tied into people figuring out how they got listed in BlogShares without their knowledge and so on and…

    No there’s nothing like spending 45 minutes of a Friday morning on a conference call with a bunch of tech folks working for our ISP, trying to get some clear idea of what policies and filtering they have in place now, and what new ones are coming, only to come to the conclusion that we…

  • I don’t like Mondays

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I’ve got the Boomtown Rats song “I don’t like Mondays” running through my head this morning. (Anybody else even remember that song?) Anyway, I’ve never really been a big fan of Monday mornings to begin with, but today just seems to really be a drag. I’m not feeling particularly motivated for anything, I need some…
