Hooray!

Call me late bloomer. Uncanny searcher? I have found the secret to vimeo vlogging! Simply type a left and right bracket around vimeo # and you can have lovely vimeos on WordPress!

Should look something like this after removing quotes: ["vimeo #"]

Inspiration on video

I didn’t have the opportunity to watch this vimeo short with audio. Regardless of the sound, this video demonstrated how easy it can be to move. Perhaps something more, but I watched it as an old silent and looked fantastic! The quick frame rate, movers’ getup — even the depth of field! (Jeeze, how did I come across this?)

Of course, my respects go to the author of this piece. I’m just sharing it off to this here part of the Internets.

Assembling the corrupt

This is by far no easy task. I’ve somewhat successfully salvaged a ton of files that were recently trashed and fried from my desktop. Maybe I should lay off the keyboard magic shows? By now I have come to terms that the seventeen-inch quicksandbox before me isn’t the best for keeping a lot of treasured work.

I found a piece of software by SubRosaSoft that can hunt and peck around the zeroes to recover the ones. FileSalvage, slightly a time cruncher, slightly a workhorse, was able to scan over my drive through ‘free space’ and recover a ridiculous listing of filetypes. Luckily there were results. And they were organized into folders! In this particular effort I was mainly concerned with a number of master Photoshop files and a few other toss-arounds that I had spit out. Much to my surprise the data — no, not Masterly Photoshop fileage — recovered was written into roughly a hundred or so Photoshop crumbs, not at all making FileSalvage out to be the hero I dreamt it. Now I sit in a puddle of thumbnail-less, overweight-with-metadata, corrupt .psds that don’t open.

What to do?
