frustration. Calling all geeks! HELP!!!
I have a 40gb external hard drive that doesn't work anymore. Before it stopped working I managed to backup the files to the 500gb and thought the files were safe.
Today my mac was complaining again of lack of storage space so I thought "Well it's time to backup everything and delete from the disk". Half way through the backup, the 500gb disk died.
Well it didn't die as in "rigor mortis" death. It still makes noises but doesn't work anymore.
I think my Maxtor 500gb hard drive is in a coma. Brain-dead. Kaput. Finito. Acabado.
Fortunately I didn't delete anything from the internal drive yet but I'm afraid I lost lots of stuff I don't have anywhere else.
And for the record, yes I've tried turning it off and on again, the same goes for the computer. Several times!
I changed the cable, I tried every usb port available. I don't know what-else to do.
Will anyone help me please?
I'm on MacOS X 10.4.11 and the disc has been working fine since I bought it 8 or 9 months ago.

the recipe in portuguese
Pronto suas gulosas. Cá vai.
massa de choux:
150g de farinha
100g de manteiga
4 ovos batidos
300ml de água
Aqueça o forno a 220ºC/7.
Unte um tabuleiro e polvilhe com farinha.
Num tacho derreta a manteiga em 300ml de água e deixe levantar fervura.
(para evitar a evaporação excessive não deixe ferver a água enquanto a manteiga não estiver derretida.)
Retire do lume e de uma vez só junte a farinha até a mistura ficar homogénea e formar uma bola. (não bata mais e pare assim que a massa se soltar das paredes do tacho)
Deixe arrefecer ligeriramente.
Misture gradualmente os ovos batendo sempre até a massa ficar brilhante e sem grumos.
Tender vários montinhos no tabuleiro e ao sacudir a colher de pau para o tabuleiro a massa seve cair devagar.
Vai ao forno por 40mn.
Recheio:
(chantilly)
300ml de natas para bater,
2 colheres de sopa de açucar
bater as natas até formar desenhos (não bater demais ou passa a manteiga)
juntar o açucar e bater mais 30segundos.
Injectar o creme nos profiteroles e pôr no frigorifico.
Cobertura.
200g de chocolate de cozinha (tablete)
25 gramas de manteiga
25 g de glicose liquida (é um gel, metes uma gota grande em folha de aluminio na balança)
Derreter tudo em lume brando num tacho.
Ir mexendo com a colher de pau para não agarrar ao tacho.
Os profiteroles podem ser postos em pirâmide. Deite o molho quente de chocolate por cima.
Ou para o molho ficar bem distribuido, deixa-os estar na horizontal num prato e pões o molho 1 a 1.
Só consegui arranjar um chocolate de culinária no Tesco e é um muito amargo. Precisava de ser mais doce.

Profiteroles' Goddess!
and very modest too.
Yesterday I had baking fever so I went to Tesco and bought some flour and stuff.
My friends gave me once a recipe book called "Sobremesas Perigosas" or in english "dangerous desserts" and as I had nothing better to do, I decided to try making some Profiteroles.
It's the EASIEST thing to do.
too easy!
I did it all from scratch. even the dough.

I went to Camden Barfly again this time to shoot Sons of Albion.
Great gig but unfortunately the venue wasn't full and the lighting was a bit weird.

Awwww bless!!!
"O causídico negou que Vale e Azevedo tenha fugido ou esteja escondido da Justiça portuguesa, justificando que o seu cliente se encontra na capital britânica por ter negócios ali."

isn't he lovely? and he's in London! OH MY GOD!!!

Richmond
Last weekend, I was browsing through the Jessops website and on the "clearance" section I found the best bargain of my life: a fine Sigma flash for 20 quid!!. "Well, i though, i must get this one!"
On the specs page (Sigma website) it said it was compatible with my camera so I went to Richmond to get it.
When I got there, it was only compatible with Sigma cameras.
:/
Anyway, on the way to meet Zé - a Richmond local :D, I shot this pic:
and then we went for a walk by the Thames.
