    I dug up old hard drives and found some of my code from somewhere around 2005-2007. It&amp;#39;s horrible. It compiles and works once I edited the makefiles a bit. Not sure what I should think.

    Another long shot, but anyone know anything about HDD repair, or anyone that would? I&amp;#39;ve been spending some time trying to do archaeology on my 20+ year old hard disk drives to find out some of the old stuff I&amp;#39;ve made. This one drive from ~2001 seems to be a mostly dead, and I&amp;#39;m trying to figure out if I can make an image out of it before it&amp;#39;s all dead.

Anyone have any idea how I could access whatever is on that disk? #datarecovery

    Here I was hoping to catch up on stuff I &amp;quot;need&amp;quot; to do on weekend, and at Friday evening, I get @modos E-Ink display and glider dropped in mail. What do I do with it? I have no idea, but from the quick testing, I am going to love this thing.
