Saving Private Bacon

Posted by craig Published in Computers

Through a mis-step of the fingers, I managed to delete an entire flash card of photos with my camera. Fortunately, I realized what happened, and pulled out the card until I could find a utility under Linux that would allow one to undelee files from a FAT file system.

Back from the dead

Posted by craig Published in Site Information

Man, whenever I install a new computer, it’s like I shut off from the outside world or something. I just finished installing Fedora Core 5 on Sarah’s computer last night. I’ll blog more about how smooth the process was, but as I look around my desk, I see my inbox is about to fall over [...]
