Bricked hard drive says what?
No alarm bells, nothing to worry about, I’ll rewrite it from scratch again if I have to (though I probably won’t have to)… But my hard drive bricked yesterday, ironically just as I was logging in to an SVN server to create a repository for it. Dell’s sending me a new hard drive to replace the bricked one, and I’m taking it in to some data restoration specialists to see if I can pull the source code off. Thanks to Migratr’s large dependance on free third party libraries, its own code size is actually pretty small-
However, just so you know, it’s going to take probably on the order of a week before I can get going again. Longer, if I have to rewrite everything from scratch.
But one way or another, it’ll be back again. So none of that “(insert something on the internet here) is dying” nonsense :P

Hey - great application! Love it - I’m posting a quick overview of it on my blog.
One thing I noticed (a bug), if a user goes and tries to ‘finish authentication’ before they start the authentication, you get an exception error.
Just something to look out for.
Thanks again. :)

Alex, I’m sorry for your drive issue. Been there a couple of times myself, I know the feeling. Data restoration usually costs an arm and leg, if that’s the case for you, you might as well try SpinRite. It’s a wonderful piece of software that has saved me and my clients every single time. Here’s the link:

Best of luck either way!
