HYK's Perth Visit

Yesterday I set out to post photos of HYK's visit last week and found I had stupidly deleted the most of the photos I had taken.

Here's one of those that I had left, of HYK checking his email at my desk.

So now I have to try something I haven't done before: recovering deleted photos from the media card.

I googled for mac data recovery programmes and found a few which cost between US$20 to $50. I downloaded a demo which did nothing but crash.

I then found an open source programme called PhotoRec (free), which ran on both mac and windows operating systems.
After approx 1.5 hrs, it appeared to have recovered 10 files, though I still don't know what they are.

But look at how long it's going to take to check out the 2gb SD card!


I'll let you all know later what the outcome is!

  1. With reference to recent email discussions, we now know the value of a long life - being able to recover lost files.
