<wdp> haha

Not much up at the moment, i think i’ll get visited by a friend on 7th January - we’ll see Let’s start with my mood, how do i feel? Dunno. Listening depressing songs again For example this one, i really like it:

The Corrs - What can i do

Orrrrrrrrrrrrr:

Hoobastank - The Reason

I got some old pictures with me and the cats, thanks to maike for sending Some of my pictures are lost.. though atm i’m in “sorting”-phase of my one million unsorted recovered files. This pictures are old, atm i have long black hair, i look even more dead and i’m .. shaved

Here’s a picture of me with Aimee

Heres a really old pic of me with Aimee

And here’s a picture of me with Paul. Paul died ago some time.

Another picture of me and Paul

Not sure whether there are also pictures with me and joschi, the third cat, if i get one, i’ll post it here

Heres a picture of Joschi:

And here’s one with melody - my mom’s dog - she’s now a bit… errm. well. she was growing the last years …

As i wrote recently (i think) i brazed the power cable stuff directly onto one old harddisc of me (60 GB) because the power pins on that harddisc were broken. Anyway.. Here are two pictures (DO NOT DO THIS)

Today after looking at
Rayne’s blog (german) i saw that he wrote about windows and linux and that both isn’t usable for everyone. He wrote (what a pity) more about the linux side than about the windows side. Anyway: Of course he’s right. Due to many new linux distributions like OpenSuSE, Ubuntu and how they all may be named, people get out-of-the-box functionality like in windows. If they’re used to windows or a similar system, they expect linux automatically to be like that. If you can’t follow me: In case i’m using Windows for 10 years and wanna try out linux, i will insert a (for example) Ubuntu CD. I will see that the installation is easy like in windows, i will see that i have a graphical desktop and my hardware is fully working too. Seems to be like Windows. Nice. Ow. Xyz is not working - in windows it is. - Now i will join a Forum and ask stupid questions. Why should i learn “linux” or how to work with linux? why? I mean everything is working out-of-the-box can’t i expect xyz working out-of-the-box, too?

eheh. Today i have birthday, and most guys have forgotten it. As usual Though i don’t see anything special with birthdays to be honest. Just another random day. The first who wished me something was Maike, i didn’t expected anything else

Anyway. i started finally to restore my Data. The following tools helped me a lot:

dd_rescue
recoveryjpeg
photorec

First i run recoveryjpeg on /dev/sda /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc (from different directories of course) - I was able to restore more than 30 000 Graphics. A few are corrupted but this doesn’t matter, i’m very happy that i could get atleast some back. From these 30 k Graphics are atleast 20 k not corrupted. Nice Tool.

Photorec is a different story. When i started it was showing Estimated time 21h - 7 hours later the thing was still at 21h. Now this tool is running for 21h and it’s showing Estimated time 17h. Anyway - From what i saw it recovered a lot of useful stuff. That will help me a lot. Though mp3’s seems to be broken/splitted. Textfiles are over 40k - sorting them will be nearly impossible. And i’m at the first disc from three. This will take some days.. If i’m lucky it’s restoring the 60 GB tar.gz with the working backup.. If not, then i tried whats possible.
