I went to copy the pictures I took from my memory card to my computer, and got an error.

They're all gone. All gone. And I can never get them back.

I am very sad right now. Thank you universe, on my birthday, too. You suck.

Umm.....

Happy birthday?

Thank you.

Now y'all will just have to wait for the shiny, pretty pictures of my new toy, because I already put it away thinking I had good pictures to post. :(

And no one will ever see my cool 'feet-up-on-the-sailboat' picture, which, granted would have been way cooler if the boat had been sailing at the time, but still.

Glad I didn't make a big photo-documentary of my trip.

I think this is all a clever ruse to keep pictures of you off the Internet. You've succeeded for YEARS.

Ah, but there are pictures of me on the internet - my aunt was there and took pictures and she said she posted them on her MySpace. Now, because MySpace is the devil and I do not go there, I do not know the name, so it would take some mad Internet skillz for you to find them.

...besides, I posted on once.

And these weren't pictures of me, anyway. Okay, my feet, but they weren't even naked - they were in shoes!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Thank you! I'm not officially 'old' yet, but I'm getting there.

I somehow managed to leave this out of my last comment, but: Happy birthday!

Also, you have the same birthday as my sister.
Tuesday, October 28th, 2008 09:38 pm (UTC)
Thank you!

Well, your sister must be an awesome person, then, because (despite evidence to the contrary) Oct 28th is an awesome day! :D

AAAHHHHHHH.

(for the lost pictures, that is, not your new age)
Tuesday, October 28th, 2008 09:39 pm (UTC)
Thanks (*squishes* *munches*)- I'm not so distraught about my new age, to be honest. It helps being married to someone 6 years older. You always feel young then!

They're really gone for good? That sucks.

Happy Birthday anyway.

Yeah, I hate Vista. I swear that's what's causing it. I've had a lot of issues copying things since I got Vista that I never had with 98. And I don't know there's anything I can do about it, other than lose a batch of pictures now and then.

But, of course, I'm not going to lose pictures of, say, my yarn stash, where I can just walk back into the next room and get more, nooooooo.

Thanks, I'm going to make it happy if it kills me. :p

...Oh, hell. *cuddles you*

Happy birthday, all the same! ♥

I had a similar problem a ways back, and Final Recovery was able to retrieve most of my pictures. http://www.finalrecovery.com. I think the Demo version will at least tell you if there are recoverable files on the card. If you haven't yet formatted the card, don't. Much harder to recover if you have.

Don't format it! There are lots of programs out there that could recover it!
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008 05:14 am (UTC)
That's sucky =/

But the main point of this comment was so say:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! And I hope you get the photos back and there is chocolate aplenty and fun stuff!
