So Pathway decided to charge me full price for highspeed + remove my free dial-up account. Now what's up with that??
So yeah, I f***ed up one of the partitions on my backup drive. That's 36G of data. Now I'm still working on recovering it, but it's not that easy. It looks like when I was erasing and resizing a another partition, the super block got fucked up. The system recognizes the partition as reiserfs, but can not mount it. Tried to rebuild the super block but still didn't do it. It looks like the partition has shifted a bit and the system is not able to properly locate the filesystem signature. My buddy is helping me. He has some brilliant ideas, but still needs some polishing in order to get things working.
I could just boot into Windows, and use Easy Recovery to do a raw data recovery, but I have 2 problems with that. 1) My windows partition is not big enough to hold old the data, actually I don't have any other partition that is 36G or more. 2) I did do a test recovery through Windows, only wanted to recover a few megs just to see if the files are usable after that, but all the files get this weird FIL01.xxx name. Now I have around 1000 pictures and about the same amount of MP3s on that disk. How the hell would I know who's picture is FIL29.JPG or what song is FIL200.MP3? I don't have the time to go through all the pics and mp3s, view and/or listen, and then rename them. But I guess if all fails through linux, I will have no choice. I really don't want to loose that data.
If any of you knows any data recovery programs written for Linux, even if its commercial, please let me know. Thanks.

Yeah, that's right, I haven't blogged in a while. Reason? Well not much going on in my life that would be worth talking about.
The phone number story didn't turn out well. After calling her a few times, talking to her once for 5 minutes and leaving a v mail, never heard back from her. Now I'm not saying that I don't feel the need of a girlfriend, but I'm not going to be the one always calling, always trying to reach her. Now I do understand that she is busy with work and school, but that is not an excuse for her not to return my call, not to call me back after she said so. This is what made me think about this: why is that women who show interest in you, offer you their phone number never bother to call you back? It's not like we went on a date and she realized that I'm not good enough for her. There was no date, just a 5 minute conversation 3 days after I got her number. 5 minutes because she was driving and I didn't want to distract her attention.
Anyways, after 2 days not hearing from her I just said FUCK IT. It's just not worth it.
On other news: last night at Whiskey was a waste of beer money. Out of all the women only 1 was able to show some spirit. The rest were confused, slow and ultimately boring. Now what's up with that???

So I went to Yuk Yuk's the other day. I can say that they kept their word about the guaranteed laugh. My stomach was hurting from too much laughing.
JASON ROUSE was the guy who made us laugh, and made some others offended.
"His act is best compared to an exorcism. He dredges up the nasty, slithery bits of his psyche and parades them for his audience. Not content to simply recount his id-induced indiscretions, Rouse becomes them, physicalizing every lurid bit." Andrew Clark - Eye Weekly
And of course he kept saying "Did I go too far? Well I don't know how you guys do it. I'm from Hamilton" after showing how he would f*** the dog or how he s**** off his father after him and his brother got caught smoking...
Anyways, I would recommend everyone to go see him, but you have to be prepared. If you have a weak heart, or you get offended too easily, then avoid him.

After all this time of being single it looks like that will change to the better.
I went to my friends wedding this past Saturday with hopes that it will turn out to be a good. Well it actually was a blast. Since both the bride and the groom are a fan of the 80's the music selection was great. (My parents partied a lot, so I also grew up with the 80's music). The other thing was, that the majority of the guests were in their mid 30s-40s, so they enjoyed it as well. There was a not so attractive married mother who was really after me. At the beginning it was fun cuz she was giving me some advises, but after she got really really drunk, she started chasing me around telling me how handsome I was, how great I smelled ("You smell so good. Why do you smell so good?"). Just to cool her down I reminded her that she was married with two children. That seemed to work, because after that she didn't come anywhere near me.
But anyways, this isn't the focus of my story. The story should be focused more on the beautiful brunette that I met at this wedding, thanks to my friends constant pushing. So in a nutshell this is how it happened: around 1:30 am I asked her for a dance (of course it was a slow song). Talked a bit and then she went to her table. About 10 minutes later a another song came up, so I asked her for a another dance. This time I asked her if she was single and stuff, but didn't ask for her number or anything. Right after the song she was getting ready to leave, but promised me to come by my table. And she did and the first thing she asked? "Do you have a cellphone on you?" This has been the first time in a very very long time that a girl offered her number to me.
Now that's enough for now!! Update will follow....
