cjmarloweThe problem with living in my mother's house (I say that like there's just one) is that I'm occasionally expected to do things like be sociable with the neighbours when we have a turkey fry. Events which tend to happen on long weekends, when I've been looking forward to three days all to myself, yay. Bah. Other people. Also, said guests are currently using my netflix which means that all other internet activity, up to and including posting this update, is sketchy. So much for work and tagging.
So I somehow managed to completely corrupt the file directory on one of my external hard drives a couple of weeks ago (I actually know how, sort of, except I didn't even know that particular thing could happen and also, long story) and I've been running data recovery on it this weekend because all the files are there, it just no longer sees them for me to use (the original was a 2TB drive which necessitated getting a 3TB drive to recover to; also, I really wanted a 3TB drive). Apparently it has some idiosyncratic data sorting techniques, because despite my own organization of video files into titles and seasons, like the average person, the drive had apparently saved most of CKR's appearances into adjoining clusters. It just recovered episodes of Due South, My Life as a Dog and Shattered one after the other. I think I approve.
Nineteen hours to go and we're already at over 600,000 files. Basically, I'm never going to get these sorted. It had to be the drive where I kept most of my complete television shows and also several writing and rpg backups. :|
Is it wrong to hope it rains this afternoon?
