Had a weekend away in wellington that was by turns amazingly wonderful (seeing old friends and my family) and screamingly shitty (seeing... my family, shitty weather, getting sick for the first time this year). But the absolute capper is getting home tonight to find that my precious and onl;y a few months old external harddrive has independently decided to WIPE EVERYTHING and I can't find any of the sixty-odd gigs of TV, movies and comics that I had saved there. I am about reading to KILL THINGS. Please, please, if anyone has any suggestions as to how I can recover any of it, I'll love you forever.

t probably hasn't actually deleted anything, it's just totally fucked itself. I'd really advise trying it in another computer, or checking your data cables.

I'm really, really hoping that it is fucked, yeah. Which sounds crazy, but considering it should still be under warranty and maybe the shop guys will be able to get it back... *crosses fingers* Yeah, we tried it on a couple of other computers (all Macs, but still) and didn't get anything, so.

Oh, believe me, I will. ;) But, yeah, I'll get it out to you whenever I can.
