When you get the feeling, deep inside your bones, dancing with the thing you do. Step into the light

Well, I'm starting to get somewhere. I've skimmed through 50,000 photos and other jpegs that belong to dd_b or the other people on his server, and I've finally come across some of mine. Pictures from Anime Expo, last year's Grilled Cheese Invitational, and Demicon last year. They've lost their filenames -- this one of me and Christian is named "Unallocated Clusters 913" -- but at least we've got the images.

2003-2004 were the years hardest hit by the disk failure. If you go to my 2004 pictures and scroll down to "May" right now, there's only one photo of approximately 244 that I took at Demicon on the server. So the restoration will begin -- you'll see it if you check that link later, there will be fewer "LOST" and "INCOMPLETE" messages on the Demicon files when I get these snaps reinstated.

Yippee!

EDIT: I've also found a bunch of photos from Dee's funeral in Kansas City, Mike and Sharon's wedding (but if they're able to send me a cd-rom it'll be a great help), Mariel's twins, and some Corflu photos.

Chaz -

You soooooooooo rock - first for having the site and now for going to such heroic lengths to restore it! I think Selina said it best with her post of "You don't know what you have until it's gone." I'm reasonably sure I'm not the only one who was guilty of taking Hazel's Picture Gallary pretty much for granted. I know I never will feel that way again. You've created a very special gift for so many of us and that you're willing to recreate it now says something pretty amazing about your character and commitment to your friends and fandom in general. So, let me say again: YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *R*O*C*K*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
