Today I completed JFileRecovery, another useful application that helps extract files from damaged hard drives, CDs, DVDs and Flash media. Unlike other file recovery tools JFileRecovery works by assuming that reading data from damaged parts takes much longer. These parts are skipped and the user is given the option of retrying to copy the damaged regions more intensely later. Because the copy is block based, copying can continue around cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors. This means you can even drill a hole through a cd with an AVI movie on and JFileRecovery can still get the AVI off (albeit with a few bad frames).

Anyway, check it out. I have set up a new sub-domain and website here:

Today I added a hub for Kent University students. The hub will help students transfer their work between home and university computers. The Host Yourself Network will hopefully reduce the number of students claiming their dog ate their pen drive!

The hub can be found here: http://ukc.hostyourself.net
