  Re: recovering lost files
 
(...) Thanks Matt.... I owe you one... I lost only about 10% of the total file set... I guess because of netscape caching pages and my searching for the files. It took me a while to figure out that I had lost them. Luckily, I had just copied some of (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: recovering lost files

  Re: recovering lost files
 
ooooh. Great piece of advice. Too bad I didn't hear about this about two weeks ago, I lost two very important pictures (group pictures of my parents' conference, they were *really* mad). I bet it's all gone by now... :-/ -Shiri (23 years ago, 19-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: recovering lost files
 
(...) Chris, First of all STOP SAVING FILES TO YOUR HARD DRIVE...the data should still be present, as the file system in your OS just opens the AREA of the disk with the data on it to be overwritten, not actually wiping out the data itself.

  recovering lost files
 
I was using what I thought was a great little program- CoffeeCup Free FTP when I encountered a little problem... I used the softwares 'delete this file' function on a directory that I discovered I didn't want deleted. I had thought that the program (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: E-mail authentication during posting
 
(...) I did write such a scripty, and I can email it to you if you want. What I did was just bind it to a key so I can auth a post without starting up a webbrowser. Let me know if you want the script. I do like the idea of the hash sig... or better (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Thanx Matt! All the info you've provided is great... But I'll just cut and paste directly from your post. My 2¢ --==Richard==-- (Richard, who's a bit slow but catches on eventually!) (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: E-mail authentication during posting
 
(...) Of course it could verify that I wrote the message. I could add a seemingly random hash function output to the signature of my messages, or to some arbitrary "X-" header. Finding the function that generated the "random" code would require (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: E-mail authentication during posting
