Steam on the Mac

I think I'm in love.

More developers need to realize that development in an open platform like OpenGL just makes financial sense since games can then easily move cross platform. That's all I will say about it.

Follow up to last journal.

Two of the jobs I mentioned in my last journal are actually online if you want to see them.

One involved talcum powder and a wind machine <-- CLICK TO WATCH

This is the official music video for the Everybody Hurts charity single to raise money for Haiti. All the artists and the entire crew worked for free. The slow mo talc stuff starts about half way through.

And...
One involved an exploding stage light with smoke and sparks and a fire extinguisher <-- CLICK TO WATCH

A trailer for James Corden's new sports quiz on Sky1.

I'll answer any questions in the comments as usual.

Capri

I bought this tiny little tube amp in San Antonio this weekend:

It was made by a San Antonio company in the 60's called Alamo Electronics. It says it's 40 watts, but it sounds more like 4 watts, and I love it.

Disaster Averted

Yesterday Joel came over to my desk and told me that he couldn't mount an external hard drive he had been capturing some footage to. I wasn't too concerned about the problem because the drive in question had always been very reliable. He was running Windows so I checked out Disk Management and the drive was showing up as unallocated (aka unpartitioned). He said he had been capturing to it all day Monday without issue and it just suddenly didn't work Tuesday morning. I plugged it into another PC and same thing. Plugged the drive into a Mac and was told the disk was not initialized.

I broke the news to Joel as gently as I could that all of his work had mysteriously disappeared and the disk was just showing up as unpartitioned. I may as well have shot Santa Claus right in front of him. In an effort to make him feel better I told him that I would try some data recovery software to see if that would help (this is the equivalent of telling a kid that you're taking their dog/cat to a nice ranch to live on). I did a google search and downloaded the first return I found (because I'm lazy). I downloaded GetDataBack and it was able to recover every file that was on that external hard drive. I've never had to use data recovery software before but this one worked wonders for me. I used the free version to make sure it could see all the files then paid to unlock the full version to actually recover the files.

So, long story short, this journal is my testimonial that GetDataBack works great. Now to get back to questioning Joel about how his external hard drive just mysteriously lost its partition information out of the blue.
