Epic fail, hard drive edition
Also of interest: podcast 27 jan
Ok, not really. But my hard drive died yesterday, and I hadn’t backed up in months. It’s at the Apple Store right now, who knows how it’ll come out.
Anyway, if you haven’t heard from me or whatever, or you need to get in contact, email is the best/only way for now, or maybe Twitter (if you DM me, it’ll get sent to my phone).
Pssssst, are you new here? You might want to pick up my RSS feed, it'll let you know when I put up new stuff. Thanks!

ouch, good luck with that!
I’m an Apple fan, but why did you take it there? They’re not going to do data recovery are they?
Yeah, generally they don’t. I fell for a somewhat clumsy sales pitch for Apple “Pro” membership, whatever that is.
Anyway I just found out the drive is down+out. Data recovery is the final option.
ah, sorry to hear that mate! good luck :)
Get and use SuperDuper! and you’ll never miss a beat. If you notebook drive crashes, you just boot up of the cloned image on your USB drive, you’ll never notice the difference! I make sure to SuperDuper my drive the night before I head out on the road each time, ’cause you never know what might happen.
