OK, so the past week of school as been hell. Basically it was the week before finals, all assignments were due and projects had to be turned in. I finished everything, my group term project, my lab report, my group term paper, and several other assignments I would rather forget about. I turned in everything but my lab project. All of my data stored on my 6 GB thumb drive. The night I go to print off my lab report 60 pages of A work, my thumb drive quits. Needless to say I lost everything, I tried every trick that I know to extract data off such as using dd, ddrescue, and ddrhelp on the drive in Linux, nothing. I then crack open the drive to reveal a Compact Flash connector with a micro drive (i.e moving parts). I plugged the drive directly into a Compact Flash reader to see if it would work, nothing. This confirmed for me that all was lost.
I talked to my professor, I worked out an arrangement that I thought and he thought was fair. After the stress of this week I am not ready for finals.
Oh but on a happier note I got a job for after I graduate!!
