Favorite Indy ever
Of the Indiana Jones trilogy, my favorite will have to be Temple of Doom. It has more memorable moments: the cliched rope-bridge scene, dark caves, mysterious cults, creepy crawlies and the yet famous mine-car chase. It's the actions that makes it memorable and worthy of several viewings. It still tickled me when I heard Short Round says something in Cantonese. I think all the dark sequence is the director wanted to make the first time around, but wasn't allowed to by the studios.
Temple is the closest I've ever seen to the perfect action adventure movie.

Family Portrait
Upper left: iBook dual USB 2001 (G3 500mhz), eMac (G4 700mhz), lower left: Macintosh Color Classic II (Motorola MC68030 33 MHz), iMac DV Graphite (G3 400mhz)
My lovely Color Classic died the other day. At bootup it gives me the Sad Mac icon on the black screen, plays an ascending major chord, and displays the hex numbers beneath the sad mac. I had no choice but to give it away to someone who is able to repair it. It's been nearly a year, I wonder how is it going?

Sorry I deleted 80 pictures of yours
Long story short: I'd inadvertently hit "Delete All" when I simply meant to delete the picture I just took. The worse part is the camera isn't mine, it belongs to a co-worker and has pictures he wanted to keep.
I called Chainsawriot right after it and he told me, "Don't write anything to that Compact Flash! Don't format it! Don't try writing new files to it! Shut the camera OFF. Don't do anything else with it." Before I can do everything he told me, some new pictures had been taken by another co-worker. Anyway, I followed his instructions: connect the card through card reader, downloaded Photo Rescue to see if I can get them back.
I have tried it and some other no-cost-demo-utilities available on the net, but it has been unsuccessful and only found a few sporadic files that seems to be internet cache files. (What gives?)
It sucks and I hate myself for being SO DUMB.
