Blog: DESIGN!

The grim saga of My Bloody Hard Drive continues - I got an email on Friday saying it couldn't be fixed the ordinary way but MIGHT be mendable in another, even more expensive, way. PAIN! DOOM!

Happily Mr P Myland emailed me a HOT TIP for a company in his fenland realm that might be a bit cheaper, and so I'm now waiting for the aforesaid hard drive to come back from its SECOND visit to a computer repair place in order to go off for its third and, hopefully, FINAL visit. Kids! Learn the lessons of what has happened here - BACK UP! MORE THAN ANNUALLY!

With the realisation that it's going to be AGES before I can get hold of my data again I thought "Sod it" and got on with redoing stuff from SCRATCH. We thus now have a press release and a RATHER NICE flyer/poster design almost at final draft and a new version of the Dinosaur Planet webpage gradually coming together. This is one of my favourite BITS of the whole Getting A Show Together process, doing the Pretty Pictures and that, even though I know it will be followed as surely as night follows day by one of my LEAST favourite bits i.e. hassling printers to get on with it and waiting in for deliveries.

Still, it is All Part Of The Fun and as SOON as it's all finalised I'll stick a picture up here. Get ready to say "Oh! that's quite good!"

Dunno if you tried them, but quite a few staff and students where I work have used Fields Data Recovery and they haven't charged the earth to get your data back - and they give you a free estimate as well before they do the work complete with livelyhood of what you'd get back. Maybe also worth consideration?
