Recover Data From a dead hard drive using ddrescue — Debian Admin

The Temas Blog » More Construction with PET Bottles

Good idea!  Fill the bottles with sand and use as bricks or blocks using cement as the binding agent.

Good blog too.  Now on my feedreader.

New Combat Ranch blog

Just getting the basics built but the new site url is http://combatranch.technoprimitive.org/wp/.  Also working on a map of the place with different combat sites and features marked.   Also working on linking pix to each point on the map so you can see what the area looks like.  Slowly slowly eats the elephant… ;-)

PhonoRipper

Gotta get off my butt and get the albums up here and the phonograph hooked up to the Macintosh and then to the computer to rip them to the hard drive.  This looks interesting and seems to be just what I need.  Now to find the room to set it all up…

Treehugger: Amy Youngs’ Digestive Table

Tis an interesting idea.  BUT, and to me it is certainly a big but,  while I can see having a pail in the corner using this method of food scrap recycling, I don’t want it in the middle of my dining table. :-(

Really bad something.  Not sure quite what to call it but it is certainly bad, whatever the hell it is… ;-)

Build a fusion reactor in your basement or garage now.  It’s as easy as machining stainless steel!  ;-)  Interesting site anyway.

Indian student develops paper-based storage system | The Register

I’m with the writer here, the numbers just don’t add up.  Maybe I’m missing something or there isn’t enough info in the article but scanning a piece of paper for data just don’t add up to the density of data on a cd/hard drive platter.  Interesting idea but unless there is a LOT more to it this seems like a giant step backwards…
