This should solve my video storage and photo backup needs for now. The led is quite cool. Not as cool as the powermate in front of it though.

A dead LaCie XHDD (Western Digital).

Fine shell looking for a new (or old) ghost to host.

Everyone who learns how to write code in almost any programming language, first writes a simple program that just prints "Hello, World" to the screen. I wanted to capture an image that shows what's involved in doing that. So I set my camera up over my keyboard, opened up a text editor, and clicked the shutter. I then wrote a Hello World program in C, in the 25 seconds the shutter was open. So what you see here... is literally, the making of Hello World.

1. My computer froze and 2 Western Digital (WD) hard drives died simultaneously.

2. I pay DKK 8000 to rescue the data from the most important drive and reject the offer to rescue the other drive for DKK 150.000 (in UK). It suddenly became very unimportant for me.

3. I borrow the rescue company's drive with my data home and transfer the data to another WD drive I have.

4. 2 days later, that drive also dies.

5. I buy 2 x 1TB WD drives and one 250GB mobile WD drive.

6. I transfer the data to the new mobile WD drive and back up the data to the two TB drives.

7. One day later the new mobile drive dies as well and by accident I knock over one of the new TB drives and kill it instantly.

8. Deadcount = 5. I let go of WD forever.

I put this drive in the freezer to see if it would help me recover the data on it. No such luck.
