The photograph above looks pretty nice, but it's also one of the most expensive shots I ever took. Right before I made it I fumbled my iPhone, which promptly fell on the brick path I was walking. The case has split open on one side and the lower left corner of the screen has cracked. ;_;
Early morning in Drenthe sure looks nice though.

A few weeks ago I read about
PhotoRec on the
Life Hacker website (a productivity blog).
PhotoRec is a handy commandline utility that will help you retrieve lost pictures (and other files) from borked memory cards.
PhotoRec will search any device you point it at for a variety of file types. Before running the search it'll ask you some in-depth questions (partition type, file system, etc) and then it'll run until it's covered all of the device.
In my case I needed to search through my Powershot's CF card, since apparently the old Canon doesn't deal well with cards that've been mounted through a normal USB reader. PhotoRec worked like magic and retrieved all of the pics still on the card. Now I can safely re-format the CF card for reuse.
I cannot recommend
PhotoRec well enough. The best thing? It's both free and cross-platform! So it'll run on Mac OS X, Windows, Linux and various other Unices. Awesome!
