I'm Baaaaack
Texas was fun, got to see a lot of old friends and relatives. It's still pretty much the same as I rememeber it though. More on the trip tomorrow or perhaps later today (it's 12:30 am right now)
Well, more updates on the computer fiasco. My dad managed to save the small amount of files that still showed up after the crash, but I still lost about 1,300 mp3's, as well as a fair number of Dance Dance Revolution videos. Ouch. Luckly I have about 900 of those mp3's on the other computer, so it's a matter of hooking up the hard drive to my computer and transfering them over. So let this be a lesson is ALWAYS backing up everythign, even if it does take 10+ CD's. You'll be glad you did when your hard drive crashes.
Retief Goosen won the US Open today in a playoff. Unfortunatly it happened during my plane flight, so I missed most of it. I did watch almost all of the regular coverage though. That 18th hole is a killer.
Speaking of golf, I did get in 2 rounds while in Texas, since it's 1/3 the price as it is in Tampa. I did average for me, which is pretty bad (105 and 102) but it was fun.
Update #2:
Well first more stuff on the computer crash. I didn't lose anything vitally important to the rest of my life, but I did lose a lot of things that I really wish I still had. Some of the things I'm now missing...
Music Videos - All Gone
Pump It Up Videos - All Gone
Para Para Paradise Videos - All Gone (and those are hard to find!)
TournOrochi DDR Videos - All Gone
Sony Metreon DDR Tourny Videos - All Gone
Quicktime DDR Videos - Some Gone? Seem to remember more being there, but not sure
AVI DDR Videos - All Gone
Other DDR Videos - Some Gone
ASF DDR Vidoes - Some Gone
Both Sets of Arcade Infinity DDR Tourny Videos - All Gone
And gosh knows what other stuff that I had but I just can't remember having at the moment.
In total I lost approximately 5 GB worth of stuff. Yea....
I have 299 mp3's left, most of which are from CD's that I own already, but just ripped them for convinence's sake. Luckly I checked the other hard drive on our other computer, and I had more mp3's there than I thought, almost 1,200. The video's however are gone for good, unless I can find the sites that I downloaded them from, and I know at least one of them no longer exists.
Another result of trying to fix all that hard drive damage is that I have about 100 really wierdly named (ex: DIR00342) folders and files on my D: drive, and what little mp3's I have left are scattered all throughout those folders. Anywho, I hope to have everything back to relative normal (minus about 200 mp3's and all those lost videos) by tomorrow, so then I'll stop griping about it on here :)
