A blog looking at business communication, knowledge management, scripting tools, OS technology news and other things of interest to mobile tech workers. As I find interesting news this will also contain pointers to thoughts related to configuration managment, change management and general software development.
Today one of my favourite tools let me down. I tried to load my USB Flash Drive (128M Nexdisk) and XP said the drive wasn't formatted. No worries, I had trouble with XP and these things before so I tried on a Win2K machine ... same result. Tried it on Linux ... no filesystem found. Sigh....
I wonder if those X-RAY machines at the airport can wipe out one of these things? Reformatting it made it work again, of course, it was missing all its data.
