First drive was internal 80gig laptop size in a mac mini. Told me it looked like the head came loose and scratched the disk too much for them to attempt recovery before actually broke and crashed. The second drive, an external I used for backup...they said the backup files were evidently made while the head was going out and garbaged them too much for their recovery software to make any sense of the data. I figure the sites were serving okay only because they are mostly static and were serving from cache while all the corrupting was going on.

I have most of the files for the web sites I am hosting, the only problem is that I did a LOT of custom editing to 3 sites CMS that were not local files and all the mysql cms database stuff. Plan to put a new drive in the old mac mini and make it my development server and push site updates.

Sid, you are welcome to the trash crashed drive it is an 80 gig serial ATA 2.5 inch laptop drive. The backup drive I can just zero out, reformat and keep using. The second drive was fine, the backups were just copies of corrupted files due to to loose head.

The plus side is I can ditch a few old sites that I was hosting for clients that aren't active any more. Save me a few bucks keeping their DNS registration alive.
Also the new server monitors the raid and messages me when the mirror degrades so I can slap a new drive in and let it rebuild while the server is still running.
I didn't think $1000 was too expensive for a server with 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 500gig drives and the Mac 64 bit server software licensed and pre-installed. I would love to get another one for my mail server box, also running on a mac mini.

Good morning guys. I was nice to sleep in a bit on a Thursday morning.

My dad and his girlfriend are coming over tonight for dinner. I will be grilling steaks on the back porch. It is cold and not fun outside but the grill is just a few steps outside the door so it will be OK cooking steaks.

I will be going to the store tomorrow to buy an iPhone 4. I figure the 32 gig version will be the one to get.

Does the porch get hot enough to grill steaks? Are you gonna clean it first?

Sounds good. Our grill is within arms reach too, sometimes we pull it right up to the sliding glass door and cook from inside the house haha

Shame, shame. Grillin is a man's job. Last Christmas I had to shovel a path almost 6 feet from the back door to the grill.



Thinkin about goin up the chimney?



I used to dread stringing up the Christmas lights.

Yea, I realized that. I do the same thing all the time.

Sob stories better be good to get any sympathy. The fact that you had to drive your Porsche in the rain ain't gonna cut it. If your Porsche was swallowed by a mud slide we will give sympathy.

If you got sunburned while on vacation in Maui we will offer nothing but disgust.

Basically, I ran out of fuel, pushed it in the rain 1/2 a mile to a gas station, couldn't get it up the driveway so I was blocking traffic for 10 minutes before a good Samaritan helped me push it up the driveway, tried to buy fuel but couldn't get 91 octane because water got into their tanks, so I bought a dollars worth of 89 to get me across the street to a different gas station but when I tried to start it the battery was dead because my headlights were on for a bit after the car died. So after all was said and done, I was an hour and a half late to work, had to listen to my boss ***** at me all day till five, but had to wait at the yard for my gf to get off work at 8 so she could come pick me up and take me home, where I found my dog had torn up all the Christmas presents that were under the tree. Thats the gist of it anyway
