Friday F-up
Oh Poo

Excuse my interjection on your bit of b3ta :-)

I have just launched my USB hard drive across the office in an "ah, I didn’t realise that flap on my bag was open when I swung it off my shoulders" accident.

It appears to be well duffed (clicking, showing as 0GB etc.etc.)

Don’t suppose any of you work for a data recovery service and could do this on the cheap?

There'd be no urgency, its just personal stuff (music and piccies) that I'm sure I have elsewhere, but not in such a convenient format

I don't think people will do that
for someone they don't know. You could get their details and rob them or something.

Oh noes
That sounds annoying. I can only offer my online sympathy, though.

wrap it in vinegar and brown paper
should be OK.

I was hoping
It wouldn't come to that :-)

It's a hard drive
not fish and chips.

It was good enough for Jack's broken data storage

If baldmonkey were here
I'm sure he'd be able to help you sort it. He's good with these kind of things.

tee hee
Baldmonkey is helpfulness incarnate.

You! You're a fluffy girly type who's a bit soft in the head
What do you make of this?

I think she is a lady
who does ladies things, like wearing crinolines and drinking pink gin.
(Douche, Fri 6 Oct 2006, 9:10, archived)

Ouch, crinolines?
CRINOLINES?
( sleepybinky http://flickr.com/photos/binkybee/, Fri 6 Oct 2006, 9:12, archived)

Isn't a crinoline something you put on a table?

Oh my.

Horrible horrible clothing.

yes, take it all off
now

*strips down to corsets and suspenders*
Crinolines just aren't PRACTICAL for the office.

Hahaha.
I don't have a problem with swearing in general. I prefer a variety of vocabulary though - it is annoying when that is the only way someone can talk.
I would much rather someone said "cocking fucking wankwank arse bollocks" than asterisking it out...
Then again, you might find her fluffy weakness cute and feminine in this particular instance, so agreeing to moderate it at least may be worthwhile.

What I make of it
is that you one of these gits that isn't fucking capable of the simplest of tasks - namely, making a link open in a new window.

In terms of the lady, I suggest she's taking the piss and laughing about it with her mates. I suggest you test this by calling her a cunt-bothering spunk-sodden fuck-harridan.

I'd guess you're knackered there
last time we had a HDD recovered here it was expensive, but the company paid anyway, mainly as the data on it was valuable. If memory serves, it was around £300 to recover a 400gb drive
[edit] take it apart and see what's broken inside it. This cannot be a bad idea.

I remember recovering textbooks at school.
Why didn't they just use old wrapping paper - that wouldn't have cost £300

see, vinegar and brown paper IS the answer
thank you, TTM.

take of the casing and see if there's anything
obviously wrong inside
it might be something really simple like a damaged connection
